We do not feel the gravitational forces from objects other than the Earth because they are weak.

Answer:

We do. It's just way too small compared to the force between the objects we're observing and the earth. It's like looking inside a room with an elephant and a grain of rice. The rice is there, it's just too small compared to the room and the elephant inside for you to notice it. Or, if you ever traveled on a plane, you can easily see the towns, or the roads, but not the single people walking the street.

(i). A ball of mass 1.500 kg is attached to the end of a cord 1.50 m long. The ball moves in a horizontal circle. If the cord ca

(a) Let $v$ be the maximum linear speed with which the ball can move in a circle without breaking the cord. Its centripetal/radial acceleration has magnitude

$a_{\rm rad} = \dfrac{v^2}R$

where $R$ is the radius of the circle.

The tension in the cord is what makes the ball move in its plane. By Newton's second law, the maximum net force on it is

$F = (1.500\,\mathrm{kg}) a_{\rm rad}$

so that

$(1.500\,\mathrm{kg}) \dfrac{v^2}{1.50\,\rm m} = 64.0\,\mathrm N$

Solve for $v$ :

$v^2 = \dfrac{(64.0\,\mathrm N)(1.50\,\mathrm m)}{1.500\,\rm kg} \\\\ \implies \boxed{v = 8.00 \dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}}$

(b) The net force equation in part (a) leads us to the relation

$F = \dfrac{mv^2}R \implies v = \sqrt{\dfrac{FR}m}$

so that $v$ is directly proportional to the square root of $R$ . As the radius $R$ increases, the maximum linear speed $v$ will also increase, so the cord is less likely to break if we keep up the same speed.

Winds blowing toward the east are called easterlies. True or False

eimsori [14]

Answer: False

Explanation:

Winds are named for the cardinal direction they blow from. Hence, a wind that "blows towards the east", logically should come from the west and is called a "west wind".

In thise sense, one of the best examples of this type of wind are the Westerlies, which are are prevailing winds that blow from the west at midlatitudes and have the characteristic that are stronger during winter and weaker during summer.

Therefore, the statement is false.
