The force of gravity depends directly upon the masses of the two objects, and inversely on the square of the distance between them.
This means that the force of gravity increases with mass, but decreases with increasing distance between objects.

A bicyclist bikes the 90 mi to a city averaging a certain speed. The return trip is made at a speed that is 1 mph slower. Total

Lynna [10]

Answer:

his speeds while going to city is 10 mph and while his round trip the speed will be 9 mph

Explanation:

Let say the speed of the bicycle while he moves towards the city is "v"

now the speed of the round trip must be smaller by 1 mph

so its speed for round trip will be

$v_2 = v - 1$

now we know that total time of the motion is 19 hr

so we will have

$t_1 = \frac{90}{v}$

$t_2 = \frac{90}{v - 1}$

so we will have

$t_1 + t_2 = 19 hr$

$\frac{90}{v} + \frac{90}{v-1} = 19$

$90(2v - 1) = 19(v^2 - v)$

$19 v^2 - 199 v + 90 = 0$

by solving above equation we have

$v = 10 mph$

so his speeds while going to city is 10 mph and while his round trip the speed will be 9 mph

Discuss impact of Newton's second law on roads

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The second law: When a force is applied to a car, the change in motion is proportional to the force divided by the mass of the car. This law is expressed by the famous equation F = ma, where F is a force, m is the mass of the car, and a is the acceleration, or change in motion, of the car

A 1000-kg car is moving at 30 m/s around a horizontal unbanked curve whose diameter is 0.20 km. What is the magnitude of the fri

omeli [17]

Answer:

4500 N

Explanation:

When a body is moving in a circular motion it will feel an acceleration directed towards the center of the circle, this acceleration is:

a = v^2/r

where v is the velocity of the body and r is the radius of the circumference:

Therefore, a body with mass m, will feel a force f:

f = m v^2/r

Therefore we need another force to keep the body(car) from sliding, this will be given by friction, remember that friction force is given a the normal times a constant of friction mu, that is:

fs = μN = μmg

The car will not slide if f = fs, i.e.

fs = μmg = m v^2/r

That is, the magnitude of the friction force must be (at least) equal to the force due to the centripetal acceleration

fs = (1000 kg) * (30m/s)^2 / (200 m) = 4500 N

Which does not describe the relationship between the nucleus and the electron cloud of an atom?

Margaret [11]

Choices 'a', 'c', and 'd' are true.

In choice 'b', I'm not sure what it means when it says that masses
are 'balanced'. To me, masses are only balanced when they're on
a see-saw, or on opposite ends of a rope that goes over a pulley.

Maybe the statement means that the mass of the nucleus and the
mass of the electron cloud are equal. This is way false. It takes
more than 1,800 electrons to make the mass of ONE proton or
neutron, and the most complex atom in nature only has 92 electrons
in it. So there's no way that the masses of the nucleus and the electrons
in one atom could ever be anywhere near equal.
