What are two ways you can increase gravity?
You cannot increase gravity, but you can increase the force of gravity on a piece of matter with mass by1. Making the piece of matter larger2. Making it more dense3. Moving it closer to the center of a separate piece of matter.
The Greek philosopher Democritus coined what word for a tiny piece of matter that cannot be divided?
Atoms
Theory mass cannot be lost or gained?
Mass cannot be created or destroyed. It can only be change.d, fused or seperated. If you burn a piece of paper, the paper no longer exists but all the molecules have been converted to smoke or ash
Why does a piece of chalk called a matter?
A piece of chalk is matter because it has mass and occupies space, which is the definition of matter.
Does heat travel in a vacuum?
Lets look at a vacuum and heat. Heat is the treansfer of energy from one piece of matter to another. A vacuum is the absence of matter. Heat cannot transfer in a vacuum because there must be matter in close proximity to other matter for heat to travel.
The density of a small piece of matter and a large piece of matter of the same matter are?
If the material is pure and homogeneous, i.e. "the same throughout", then the density is independent of the size of the sample. A chip the size of a pinhead and a chunk the size of a truck have the same density.
Why a piece of chalk can be broken easily but iron cannot?
a chalk piece can be broken easily but not an iron piece because iron has greater intermolecular force of attraction which keeps the particles together . the strength of this force of attraction varies from one kind of matter to another
What is a piece of matter?
Small matter, this can be answered depending on how you look at it, originally atoms were named because they were believed to be the smallest particle of matter and cannot be split anymore but scientists now know that subatomic particles exist such as quarks. They and others are building blocks of matter. http://www.nyu.edu/pages/mathmol/textbook/atoms.html A particle is a very small piece of matter. Particles are part of atoms. Atoms are the smallest unit of all substances.
Why is the gravity of the earth 0 in its center?
Because any matter that pulls you to one side will be compensated by another piece of matter that pulls you in the opposite direction.Because any matter that pulls you to one side will be compensated by another piece of matter that pulls you in the opposite direction.Because any matter that pulls you to one side will be compensated by another piece of matter that pulls you in the opposite direction.Because any matter that pulls you to one side will be compensated by another piece of matter that pulls you in the opposite direction.
