Law of Universal Gravitation (what factors affect gravity and how?)

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Explanation:

Hey there!

According to the law of gravitation, the factors that affects the gravity are:

Mass of the heavenly bodies.
Distance from the centre of the body to next body.

Mass of heavenly bodies:The mass of heavenly bodies affect the gravity. We know that gravity is directly proportional to the mass of heavenly bodies. so, when the mass is more there is more gravity and where there is less mass there is less gravity.

Distance from the centre of the body to next body: It is one of the factor to influence gravity. When there is more distance there is less gravity and where there is distance more force is there. Is means gravity is inversely proportional to the distance between the bodies.

Hope it helps...

Drag each item to indicate whether it is related to Aristotle's or Ptolemy's model of the solar system, or to both. Some items m

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Aristotle's Model :

geocentric

planets fixed on nested spheres

Ptolemy's model:

geocentric

planets fixed on epicycles

accurately predicted the positions of the planets

Explanation:

Let's begin by the fact both models are geocentric and make a brief explanation of them:

Aristotle's Model :

Aristotle built his model based on observations and philosophical assumptions, not on measurements or calculations, then he mistakenly thought the Earth was the center of the universe.

So, according to this model, the universe was spherical and finite, with the Earth immobile at its center, composed of the four fundamental elements (made up of spherical layers): ground, water, air and fire; and the Sun along with the fixed planets in their respective concentric spheres (also called nested spheres) revolving around the Earth.

Ptolemy's model:

Ptolemy's model of the universe was also geocentric, placing the Earth motionless in the center of the known universe and was the accepted model for a long time during the Middle Ages.

In this sense, ccording to Ptolemy's model of the universe our planet remains stationary while the other planets, the Moon and the Sun describe complicated orbits around it (called epicycles).

However, this model predicted with an acceptable accuracy for that time the motion of the known planets, until Copernicus appeared with the revolutionary Heliocentric model.

Think of an everyday situation in which two objects interact and exert a force on each other. Explain how the interaction can ca

blondinia [14]

Answer:

It's explained below.

Explanation:

An everyday situation is when we raise an object.

Now, when we raise an object, energy is transferred to the Earth object system and thus the gravitational field energy of the system will increase.

Now, this energy is usually released when the object falls. The mechanism of this release is known as gravitational force.

In the same manner, two magnetic and electrically charged objects that are interacting at a distance will exert forces on each other and this can lead to transfer of energy between the interacting objects.

Calculate the energy provided by a slice of bread containing 2 g of protein, 1 g of fat, and 20 g of carbohydrate. record your a

vichka [17]

the energy gained by proteins and carbohydrates differs from the energy gained by fats.
proteins and carbohydrates both give 4 kcal per gram
fats give 9 kcal per gram
mass of proteins - 2 g
energy given by proteins - 2 g x 4 kcal/g = 8 cal
mass of carbohydrates - 20 g
energy given by carbohydrates - 20 g x 4 kcal/g = 80 cal
mass of fat - 1 g
energy given by fat - 1 g x 9 kcal/g = 9 cal
total energy = 8 + 80 + 9 = 97 kcal
energy = 97 kcal

The second-order rate constants for the reaction of oxygen atoms witharomatic hydrocarbons have been measured (R. Atkinson and J

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

A = 1,13x10¹⁰

Ea = 16,7 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Using Arrhenius law:

ln k = -Ea/R × 1/T + ln(A)

You can graph ln rate constant in x vs 1/T in y to obtain slope: -Ea/R and intercept is ln(A).

Using the values you will obtain:

y = -2006,9 x +23,147

As R = 8,314472x10⁻³ kJ/molK:

-Ea/8,314472x10⁻³ kJ/molK = -2006,9 K⁻¹

Ea = 16,7 kJ/mol

Pre-exponential factor is:

ln A = 23,147

A = e^23,147

A = 1,13x10¹⁰

I hope it helps!
