Answer:

1.Gravity is an invisible force that pulls objects toward each other

2.The suns gravity pulls the planet towards the sun which changes the straight line of direction into a curve

That keeps the planet moving in an orbit around the sun

hope it helped:)

love history [14]

Answer:

Rate of dissolving compounds:

If we increase the temperature of the solution, then the dissolving compound would dissolve more easily.

Boiling Point of Compounds:

If the inter-molecular forces of any compound is really strong, then the boiling point of the compound would be really high.

A young hockey player stands at rest on the ice holding a 1.3-kg helmet. The player tosses the helmet directly in front of him w

navik [9.2K]

Answer

given,

initial speed of hockey player= 0 m/s

mass of the helmet, m = 1.3 Kg

initial speed of the helmet, u = 0 m/s

final speed of the helmet, v = 6 m/s

recoil speed of the hockey player, v' = 0.25 m/s

we need to calculate the mass of the hockey player, M = ?

using conservation of momentum

m u + M u' = M v' + m v

initial speed of ice skater is zero

1.3 x 0 + M x 0 = M x (-0.25) + 1.3 x 6

negative sign is taken because recoil velocity is in opposite direction

0 = -0.25 M + 7.8

0.25 M = 7.8

M = 31.2 Kg

Hence, the mass of the young hockey player is equal to 31.2 Kg

How did the formation of natural gas and oil differ from the formation of coal?

ivann1987 [24]

Explanation:

Coal and natural gases are fossil fuels that are found in geologic formation. They both form under similar environment of high temperature and pressure which transforms organic matter.

Natural gas is a fluid and coal is a solid.

How did they form differently?

Natural and gas and petroleum are both derived from an organic matter rich in both plant and animal remains.
Coal is typically derived from organic matter that is rich in only plant remains usually formed in swampy area.

Water drips from the nozzle of a shower onto the floor 193 cm below. The drops fall at regular (equal) intervals of time, the fi

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer: 108.81 cm and 48.66 cm

Explanation:

In this, we have to make sure to keep in mind the Gravity effects on the drops. The drops will accelerate when they fall making them travel faster. This means, the velocity is not constant.

What is know:

Height (h) = 193 cm

Gravity (g) = 981 $cm/s^{2}$

Initial Velocity = 0

First, we can know how long it take to the drop to travel to the floor. It can be done with the following equation:

$x = V_{0} t + \frac{1}{2} at^{2}$ (1)

Where:

x is the distance which is 193cm

Vo is the Initial Velocity which is zero

t is the time the time it takes the drop to travel from the shower to the floor

a is the aceleration, which in this case is the gravity.

With the Initial Velocity equals zero the equations simply:

$193 cm = \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

To search for the time:

$t =\sqrt{\frac{2*193cm}{981cm/s^{2} } }$

t = 0.627 s

This is the time it takes a drop to fall to the floor, with this time and knowing other 3 drops have driped from the shower by this time. We can calculate how much time it takes the shower to drip each drop.

Time for Drip = t/4

Time for Drip = 0.156

This time is the difference between each drop, using the same equation we can calculate where was each drop, because now it is know how much time had each drop after being drip from the shower.

Our first is already on the floor (193 cm) with 0.627 s, The second drops have been falling for (0.627s - 0.156) 0.471 s and our third drop for (0.627s - 0.156 - 0.156) 0.315 s

We can use (1) to know how far have each drop traveled on these times. We know the Initials Velocity are 0, know we need ot know the distances.

For the second drop:

$x = \frac{1}{2} (981cm/s^{2})(0.471s)^{2}$

$x =108.81 cm$

For the third drop:

$x = \frac{1}{2} (981cm/s^{2})(0.315s)^{2}$

$x = 48.66 cm$
