what is the definition of gravity in simple terms?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Gravity, also called gravitation, in mechanics, the universal force of attraction acting between all matter. ... On Earth all bodies have a weight, or downward force of gravity, proportional to their mass, which Earth's mass exerts on them. Gravity is measured by the acceleration that it gives to freely falling objects

1 : A force of attraction that tends to draw particles or bodies together.

2 : The attraction of bodies by the force of gravity toward the center of the earth.

3 : Great seriousness.

Answers

Answer:

True 1, 2,3, 6, 8 and 10

False 4, 5, 7 and 9

Explanation:

In this exercise, several situations will be analyzed, to know if they are true/false

1) True. Bernoulli's equation is the conservation of energy

2) True. The volumetric expansion is approximately 4 times the linear expansion

3) True. Latent heat is the heat used in a phase transformation and does not change the temperature of the body and the conduction is proportional to the change in temperature.

4) False. The particle can be at rest or at constant velocity

5) False. Acceleration depends on the force of the kick

6) True. The sum of force must be zero

7) False. Reflection occurs at the interface between two different media

8) True. Diverging lenses the focal length is negative

9) False. Manganic energy is the sum of the energies, therefore it must be different from zero

10) True. The electric field is inversely propositional to the square of the distance

Ganymede, the largest of Jupiter’s moons,
is also the largest satellite in the solar system. Find the acceleration of
gravity on Ganymede if a simple pendulum with a length of 1.00 m has a period
of 10.5 s

Answers

Answer:hereeee for pointssss only

Explanation:

The acceleration of gravity on Ganymede will be [tex]g=0.35\ \frac{m}{s^2}[/tex]

What will be the acceleration of gravity on Ganymede?

It is given that for a simple pendulum on Ganymede

Lenth= 1.00 m

the time period  T= 10.5 sec

The formula for a time period of simple pendulum will be

[tex]T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{l}{g} }[/tex]

By rearranging the formula

[tex]g=l\times (\dfrac{2\pi}{T} )^2[/tex]

[tex]g=1\times (\dfrac{2\pi}{10.5} )^2=0.3577\frac{m}{s^2}[/tex]

[tex]g=0.3577\ \frac{m}{s^2}[/tex]

Thus the acceleration of gravity on Ganymede will be [tex]g=0.35\ \frac{m}{s^2}[/tex]

Using the diagram above, the coefficient of kinetic friction for copper is ____ (Your answer should be given to the nearest thousandths.)
This coefficient _____ applies to all similar copper surfaces.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

For this exercise we set a reference system with the x axis parallel to the chord

Y axis  

      N - W = 0

      N = W

     

X axis

      T - fr = 0

the expression for the friction force is

      fr = μ N

       

we substitute

       T - μ W = 0

       μ = T / W

we calculate

Side Note:
(I know the answer is 7.3 x 10^-11 W, I just don’t know how to get it)

Answers

P = 7.3 × 10^-13 Watt

Explanation:

First of all, are you sure that what you have is the right answer?

Anyway, the definition of power dissipated is given by

P = I^2×R

where I is the current and R is the resistance. But we also know from Ohm's law that

V = IR

so we can rewrite the equation for power P as

P = I^2R = I(IR) = VI

= (0.0054 volt)(1.35 × 10^-10 A)

= 7.3 × 10^-13 Watt

Answers

mB = 45 kg

Explanation:

Using conservation of linear momentum,

mAvA + mbvB = (mA + mB)v

(60 kg)(5.5 m/s) + (2.0 m/s)mB = (60 kg + mB)(4.0 m/s)

(330) + 2mB = 240 + 4mB

2mB = 90

A car accelerates at a rate of 13m/s^2[S]. If the car's initial velocity is 120km/h[N]. What will be its final velocity in m/s, after 2 seconds.

Answers

Answer:

the final velocity of the car is 59.33 m/s [N]

Explanation:

Given;

acceleration of the car, a = 13 m/s²

initial velocity of the car, u = 120 km/h = 33.33 m/s

duration of the car motion, t = 2 s

The final velocity of the car in the same direction is calculated as follows;

v = u + at

where;

v is the final velocity of the car

v = 33.33 + 13 x 2

v = 59.33 m/s [N]

Therefore, the final velocity of the car is 59.33 m/s [N]

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Given;

acceleration of the car, a = 13 m/s²

initial velocity of the car, u = 120 km/h = 33.33 m/s

duration of the car motion, t = 2 s

The final velocity of the car in the same direction is calculated as follows;

v = u + at

where;

v is the final velocity of the car

v = 33.33 + (13 x 2)

v = 59.33 m/s [N]

Therefore, the final velocity of the car is 59.33 m/s [N]

Question 3.Two forces are acting on a 30-kg object, 200 N up and 300 N

down. What is the magnitude and direction of its acceleration?

A. It is 100 m/s2 upward,

B. It is 100 m/s2 downward.

C. It is 3 m/s2 upward.

D. It is 3 m/s2 downward.

Answers

Answer:

It is 3 m/s² downward.

Explanation:

The mass of an object, m = 30 kg

Upward force, F = 200 N

Downward force, F' = -300 N

We need to find the magnitude and direction of its acceleration.

Net force = F+F'

= 200+(-300)

= -100 N

We know that,

Force, F = ma, a is acceleration of the object

[tex]a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{-100}{30}\\\\a=-3.33\ m/s^2\approx -3\ m/s^2[/tex]

Hence, the acceleration is -3 m/s² and it is acting in the downward direction.

When an object absorbs light energy, it reflects
A. all of the colors
B. none of the colors
C. only the colors you see

Answers

i’m pretty sure it’s C

When an object absorbs light energy, it reflects none of the colors. The correct option is B.

What is reflection?

The change in direction of a wavefront at an interface between two different media so that the wavefront returns to the medium from which it originated is referred to as reflection. Reflection of light, sound, and water waves are common examples.

Objects appear different colors because they absorb certain colors (wavelengths) while reflecting or transmitting others. The wavelengths that are reflected or transmitted are what we see as colors.

If photon energy is absorbed, the energy from the photon is typically manifested as heating the matter.

Light absorption causes an object to become dark or opaque to the wavelengths or colors of the incoming wave: Wood is impervious to visible light.

Thus, the correct option is B.

What is the new speed for an 10 kg object after 16500 N was applied to it for 2 seconds?

Answers

Answer: 3300 m/s

F = ma; units: N = kg(m/s/s); where F and a are both vectors, while m, t, and v (speed) are scalars

We are given the mass, force, and the time; however, speed is our unknown.

[F = 16500 N]  [m = 10 kg]  [t = 2 s]  [v = unknown]

What we can do is use kinematics in order to relate v and t with F and m:

For example, we can use V = V₀ + at

Since F = ma can equal a = F/m, we can replace the a variable within the kinematics equation with F/m, so that:

V = V₀ + at

V = V₀ + (F/m)t

In this problem, we can assume the initial value V to equal 0, giving us:

V = (F/m)t

Plugging in the quantities we get:

V = [tex]\frac{16500 N}{10kg}[/tex]· 2s

V = 3300 m/s

To further check whether this is the right manipulated equation to use, we can use dimensional anaylsis to determine that:

V = [tex]\frac{kg(m/s/s) }{kg}[/tex]· s

V = m/s

I hope this helped!
