Answer:

The gravitational force on the moon is less than on Earth because the strength of gravity is determined by an object's mass. The bigger the object, the bigger the gravitational force. Gravity is pretty much everywhere. We just feel it in different ways depending on our state of motion.

How was the gravitational constant G first determined

Oliga [24]

In equation form, this is often expressed as follows: The constant of proportionality in this equation is G - the universal gravitation constant. The value of G was not experimentally determined until nearly a century later (1798) by Lord Henry Cavendish using a torsion balance.

The component of the ball's velocity whose magnitude is most affected by the collisions is

bazaltina [42]

The component most affected by the collisions is vertical. The ball's vertical will either decrease or increase due to the collision. If the velocity is high during the collsion the ball's vertical will likely be higher and if the ball's velocity is low the vertical will be as well.

The drawing shows an object attached to an ideal spring, which is hanging from the ceiling. The unstrained length of the spring

Andrew [12]

Image is missing so I have attached it.

Also, the options are missing and it is;

A) KE is has a maximum value at position 3. EPE has a maximum value at position 2. GPE has a maximum value at position 1.

B) KE is has a maximum value at position 1. EPE has a maximum value at position 2. GPE has a maximum value at position 3.

C) KE is has a maximum value at position 2. EPE has a maximum value at position 3. GPE has a maximum value at position 1.

D) KE is has a maximum value at position 1. EPE has a maximum value at position 3. GPE has a maximum value at position 2.

E) KE is has a maximum value at position 2. EPE has a maximum value at position 1. GPE has a maximum value at position 3.

Answer:

Option C is the correct answer which says; KE is has a maximum value at position 2. EPE has a maximum value at position 3. GPE has a maximum value at position 1.

Explanation:

If an object vibrates about its mean position, under the influence of a restoring force, such that restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement from the mean position, the motion of the object is called simple harmonic motion. During Simple harmonic motion, the sum of Kinetic and potential energy remains constant.

Now, Looking at the diagram, Kinetic Energy (KE) is maximum at position 2.

Looking at the options, only C and E agree with this.

Thus, our answer is either option C or E.

However, Option E is not going to be right because it says that GPE is at a maximum at position 3, which is not true as the maximum GPE will occur at position 1.

Thus,

Option C fulfills that and therefore will be the correct answer.
