Newton’s law of gravitation says that gravity is a mutually attractive force. Explain the following observation: A small object

is dropped on Earth and we see it fall toward Earth. However, we do not observe Earth moving toward the object.

Answer:

Explanation:

The explanation involves another Newton's law: his second law of motion says force is a product of mass and acceleration.

When a small object is dropped on Earth, gravity pulls the object down towards Earth. The same mutually attractive gravity force also pulls Earth towards the object.  But as mass of Earth is much larger than that of the small object, the acceleration of Earth and hence its movement toward the object will be much smaller as to be not noticeable.

Answer: See below

Explanation:

The Earth attracts the falling object with the same intensity of gravity as the object attracts the Earth, according to Newton's law of gravitation. The displacement of the two bodies, however, is inversely proportional to their respective masses.

Example: The Earth attracts a ball that falls 3 metres from the ground, even though the ball's mass is insignificant in comparison to the Earth's. Similarly, the ball draws the Earth with the same power, but the Earth's mass is enormously more than the ball's. As a result, the Earth collides with a billionth of a millimetre ball (or even less). Restart the Earth's descent on the ball you'll never see again.

An electric iron operating at 120 volts draws 10. amperes of current. how much heat energy
faltersainse [42]
The complete question is how much heat energy is delivered by the iron in 30 seconds.
Heat is given by IVt, Where I is the current in Amperes, V is the voltage, and t is the time in seconds,
Therefore; 
Heat energy = 120 × 10 ×30
                     = 36000 joules or 36 kJ
Heat energy is measured in joules.

By what factor must the amplitude of a sound wave be increased in order to increase the intensity by a factor of 9?a. 9 b. 2 c.
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

option D

Explanation:

given,

intensity\ \alpha \ (Amplitude)^2

increase the intensity by factor of 9

    I₁ = I₀

    I₂ = 9 I₀

now,

\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{A_1^2}{A_2^2}

\dfrac{I_0}{9I_0}=(\dfrac{A_1}{A_2})^2

(\dfrac{A_1}{A_2})^2=\dfrac{1}{9}

\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}=\dfrac{1}{3}

      A₂ = 3 A₁

hence, amplitude increase with the factor of 3

so, the correct answer is option D

How does the currently accepted model of the nucleus provide evidence of the existence of the strong nuclear force?
olganol [36]

Answer:

Protons and neutrons are all attracted to each other as a result - the strong nuclear force. This is an attractive force that only has an effect over a very short range in the nucleus.
