Answer:
no1.
Explanation:
earth attracts apple from the tree and it falls on it,but the earth does not move towards the apple. Why? Because mass of apple is negligible against the mass of earth So, due to gravitational force earth attracts apple and apple doesn't attracts the earth
1. because the apple is attracted by the gravitational force of earth, and the mass of apple is negligible to the mass of earth
2. An object when moves in auniform circular motion is having a constant speed. While thespeed of the object is constant, its velocity is changing. Velocity, being a vector, has a constantmagnitude but a changing direction
3. centripetal force
4. If a ball travels vertically upwards with the initial velocity u, the maximum height h would be the following which I have shown :
v^2 = (u^2) + (2*(-g)*h)
v^2 = (u^2) - 2gh
h = (u2 - v2)/2g
here h is distance in metres,
v is the final velocity in metres per second,
u is the initial velocity in metres per second,
and
g is acceleration due to gravity, 9.8m/s^2.(you can also take 10m/s^2 unless specified)
5. NO :'(
6. The acceleration on an object due to the gravity of any massive body is represented by g, whereas the force of attraction between any two unit masses separated by unit distance is called universal gravitational constant which is represented by G
7. The reason is that acceleration due to gravity acting on a body having free fall is zero. Thus.....
8. Stone and Feathers take varying times to reach the ground due to Air pressure and Gravity because the stone and the feather are of different weight, which is why both the objects do not meet the ground at the same time.
9. Constant of gravitation(G) is equal to 6.67 × 10−11 N or (m/kg^2)
10. Not a proper question, because the value of g and acceleration due to gravity varies from place to place and depends on location
11. I cant find it because you have not given the mass and radius of moon, I dont have much knowledge because I'm in 9th, so...please cooperate
12. I cant do it. Having some problems with this one
Hope the rest helps u, have a good day ahead ^-^
