Answer: The statement first and the fourth statement are true.

Explanation:

According to Newton's gravitational law, every particle in the universe attracts every other particle with the force of attraction between the masses is directly proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

As we move to higher altitude, the force of gravity on use decreases because the force of gravity is inversely proportional to the distance.

If the masses of the two objects are more then there will be greater force of gravity between them.

Therefore, the statement first and the fourth statement are true.

A suspicious-looking man runs as fast as he can along a moving sidewalk from one end to the other, taking 2.20 s. Then security

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer: The ratio is 1.54

Explanation:

Firs, we have to find the relative speed of the man moving forward and backward.

Forward:

vf = vs + vm

vm = the man's speed

vs = the sidewalk's speed

vf = relative velocity moving forward

Because we don't know how much the man moved,

vf = distance (meters) / time (seconds)

vf = x / 2.20s

Backward:

vb = -vm + vs

vb = relative velocity moving backward

vf = distance (meters) / time (seconds)

vf = -x / 10.30s

We now divide the relative speeds

vf / vb = (x / 2.20) / (-x / 10.30)

We cancel the x

vf / vb = -10.3s / 2.2s = -4.68

vf = -4.68 . vb

We now substitute this in the equation we used for the forward travel

-4.68vb = vm + vs

Subtracting this from the backward travel equation

vb - (-4.68vb) = -vm - vm + vs -vs

5.68vb = -2vm

vb = -2vm / 5.68

Now, adding to the backward travel equation

vb + (-4.68vb) = -vm + vm + vs + vs

-3.68vb = 2vs

Using the two resulting equations

-3.68 . (-2 / 5.68) vm = 2vs

7.36 / 5.68 vm = 2vs

vm / vs = 1.54

The gravitational field strength at a distance R from the center of moon is gR. The satellite is moved to a new circular orbit t

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

$g'=\frac{g__R}{4}$

Explanation:

Given:

gravitational field strength of moon at a distance R from its center, $g__R$

Distance of the satellite from the center of the moon, $h=2R$

<u>Now as we know that the value of gravity of any heavenly body is at height h is given as:</u>

$g'=g__{R}} \times \frac{R^2}{(2R)^2}$

$g'=\frac{g__R}{4}$

∴The gravitational field strength will become one-fourth of what it is at the surface of the moon.

If Katie swims from one end of the pool, to the other side, and then swims back to her original spot, her average velocity is ha

Crank

Answer:

false.

Explanation:

Ok, we define average velocity as the sum of the initial and final velocity divided by two.

Remember that the velocity is a vector, so it has a direction.

Then when she goes from the 1st end to the other, the velocity is positive

When she goes back, the velocity is negative

if both cases the magnitude of the velocity, the speed, is the same, then the average velocity is:

AV = (V + (-V))/2 = 0

While the average speed is the quotient between the total distance traveled (twice the length of the pool) and the time it took to travel it.

So we already can see that the average velocity will not be equal to half of the average speed.

The statement is false
