Why is newton's gravitational force called universal gravitational force

Newton’s law of gravity is considered “universal” because it is believed to be applicable to the entire Universe (to a good approximation). Gravity does not just pull an apple from a tree, but also pulls the Moon to the Earth, the Earth to the Sun, and so on. Gravity is a fundamental force of nature.

Answer:

is called so because it is applicable on all bodies having mass, and the bodies will be governed by the same law, that is newton's law of gravitation. Thus, as it is applicable universally, it is called as universal law

What quantities determine the resistance of a piece of material? Choose all that apply.

bija089 [108]

Answer:

Option (a), (b) and (c)

Explanation:

The resistance of a conductor depends on the length of the conductor, area of crossection of the conductor and the nature of the conductor.

The formula for the resistance is given by

R = ρ x l / A

Where, ρ is the resistivity of the conductor, l be the length of the conductor and A be the area of crossection of the conductor.

So, It depends on the length, area and the type of material.

One cycle of the power dissipated by a resistor ( R = 800 Ω R=800 Ω) is given by P ( t ) = 60 W , 0 ≤ t < 5.0 s P(t)=60 W, 0≤

OLga [1]

Answer:

42.5W

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must go back to the calculations of a weighted average based on the time elapsed thus,

$Power_{avg} = \frac{P_1(t_1)+P_2(t_2)}{t_1+t_2}$

We need to calculate the average power dissipated by the 800\Omega resistor.

Our values are given by:

$P(t)=60 W, 0\leq t$

$P(t)=25 W, 5.0\leq t$

Aplying the values to the equation we have:

$Power_{avg} = \frac{P_1(t_1)+P_2(t_2)}{t_1+t_2}$

$Power_{avg} = \frac{60(5-0)+25(10-5)}{(5-0)+(10-5)}$

$Power_{avg} = 42.5W$

A truck driver sees a dog running into the road. He immediately brakes. Describe the energy transfers in the truck as it comes t

Eduardwww [97]

Answer: find the answer in the explanation as kinetic energy converts to potential energy.

Explanation:

Before the truck driver sees a dog running into the road, The mechanical energy state of the truck will be kinetic energy at maximum.

Immediately he applied the brakes, the mechanical energy of the truck will be combination of kinetic energy and potential energy.

The kinetic energy will gradually decrease as potential energy continue to increase till it reaches maximum potential energy.

The truck will come to a stop at maximum potential energy
