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.

Which of the following quantities is inversely proportional to the gravitational pull between two objects?
Contact [7]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Since gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces

How have the competing explanations' experiments on atoms affected the development of the atomic model?
olga2289 [7]

Answer

Competing explanations' experiments on atoms gave a perfect modal of an atom

Explanation

There is a long story of atom. Different scientist gave different theories related to atomic modal but no one individually gave a perfect modal they perfect each other work and finally we got a perfect modal of atom.

Here is a short story of atom

in 400 B.C.E, Democritus was the first philosopher who gave the concept of atom. He believes that everything is made up of tiny spheres  and these spheres are known as atoms.

in 1803, Dalton said that atoms of an element are similar. For example all atoms of carbon are similar.

in 1904 J. J. Thomson proposed that atom is sphere in which positively charged matter is filled and electrons are randomly scattered in that positively charged matter.

in 1911, Rutherford gave the concept of nucleus he believed that at the center of atoms all positively charged  particles are present and this center is known as nucleus. He said that negatively charge electrons revolves around the nucleus in particular orbit.

In 1913, Niels Bohr gave a new model he believes that atomic model is similar to planetary modal. He believed that the electrons in an atom revolves around  the nucleus in sets of orbits in a similar manner like the planets revolves around the sun.

In 1919, Rutherford gave the concept of proton.  

In 1932, James Chadwick gives the concept of neutron.

In this way different scientist gave different theories related to atoms and finally they all gave a perfect modal of atom.
