This might help and it might not:

Gravitation is the acting force between two bodies. On the other hand, gravity is the force occurring between an object and the very big object earth. Every object with some mass exerts the gravitational force on every other object having some mass. This force and its strength depend on the masses of the objects under consideration. Gravity helps to keep the planets to move in their orbit around the sun.

Gravitation is the force of attraction between any two bodies in the universe. In our universe, each object attracts each other with a certain amount of force. The large distance of separation is the main reason for its weak nature.

Gravity is the weakest type of fundamental force in nature. Still, it holds together the entire solar systems and galaxies.

Gravity has the existence with unlimited range.

What is this feature?

Viktor [21]

Answer: c Delta

Explanation:

A delta is a landform created by deposition of sediment that is carried by a river as the flow leaves its mouth and enters slower-moving or stagnant water. This occurs where a river enters an ocean, sea, estuary, lake, reservoir, or (more rarely) another river that cannot carry away the supplied sediment.

Hope this helps!!

Answer: Eclipse

Explanation: A lunar eclipse occurs when the full moon moves through the shadow of the Earth. This can only happen when the Earth is between the Moon and the Sun and all three are lined up in the same plane, called the ecliptic. The ecliptic is the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun.

Why is the following situation impossible? A skater glides along a circular path. She defines a certain point on the circle as h

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

A skater glides along a circular path. She defines a certain point on the circle as her origin. Later on, she passes through a point at which the distance she has traveled along the path from the origin is smaller than the magnitude of her displacement vector from the origin.

So here in circular motion of the skater we can see that the total path length of the skater is along the arc of the circle while we can say that displacement is defined as the shortest distance between initial and final position of the object.

So it is not possible in any circle that arc-length is less than the chord joining the two points on the circle

As we know that arc length is given as

$L = R\theta$
