What object would fall faster a rock or a pencil?
All objects fall universally with the same acceleration: 9.8 m/s squared.
How do you calculate G-force of an object traveling in a straight line?
You measure the acceleration. One G-Force is 9.82 m s-2. Simply scale from there.
Why nail becomes warm when hammered into a plank?
The nail becomes warm because excess energy has nowhere to go, and is converted to thermal energy. Part of the energy is used up in driving through the plank, part is used in making a sound, part is used in recoiling back at the hammer, which also gets warm, and part is lost to kinetic energy transferred to thermal energy.
What effect does the force of gravity have on the ball thrown upwards?
The ball returns to the ground with increasing velocity due to acceleration due to gravity. At a point (terminal velocity) the ball maintains a constant velocity (due to air resistance) This occurs when the weight of the ball is equal to the viscous drag of the air (air resistance) and upthrust (weight of air displaced).
What is the center of gravity on a sphere?
Assuming the ball is a perfect sphere of uniform density, and is suspended from a massless string, the centre of gravity is in the centre of the ball.
What effect would gravity have on jellyfish if it were taken out of water?
Gravity is the same for a jellyfish whether they are in water or out of water. However, that is not to say that taking a jellyfish out of water would have no effect. The difference is that, in water, their neutral buoyancy allows them to float and their relatively weak muscles allow them to move, their tentacles to extend and contract, and their oral arms to bring food near their mouths. When you take a jellyfish out of water, though, their density is so much greater than air that they become a limp noodle, and their weak muscles cannot overcome their crushing weight. Although gravity is certainly a factor, it is constant. The relative buoyancy between the two environments is the real difference between floating like a butterfly in water, or laying on the beach like a formless blob.
When does a specific gravity of 2.509 equal a density of 50 pounds per cubic foot?
Never. The specific gravity of a substance is its density compared to water.
If that happens to be 2.509, then any amount of the substance weighs
2.509 times as much as an equal amount of water. One cubic foot of water
weighs about 62.4 pounds, so one cubic foot of the substance you've described
weighs about 156.6 pounds.
"50 pounds per cubic foot" means that the specific gravity is about 0.80 .
Why do things bob up and down on the water?
When an object is floating in the water there are two forces acting on it: the downward force of gravity and the upward force of buoyancy from the water. When it is floating still the forces are perfectly balanced and cancel each other out so the object does not move up or down. This kind of situation is called equilibrium. While the force from gravity on the object remains the same, the force from buoyancy depends on how much if it is underwater. If something pushes it down then buoyancy will by stronger than gravity, and the object will get pushed back up. In doing so the object will gain momentum and overshoot the equilibrium point as it goes up. The buoyancy force is now weaker than gravity, so the object falls back down, but overshoots the equilibrium again as it goes down. The cycle repeats as the object goes up and down until friction slows it to a stop.
It is process of making Alu. zinc component die. and material flows in die by Gravity force only no external pressure applied as Pressure Die Casting.
Gravity casting is the liquid metal in the Earth's gravity into the casting process, also known as gravity pouring casting. The generalized gravity casting include sand casting, metal casting, investment casting, lost foam casting, clay mold casting; narrow-defined gravity casting refers to the metal casting. uses the force of gravity, to fill a permanent mold, or die, with molten material. It does not use the high-pressure method to form the casting. It will ensure that there will not be any clusters formed during this gravity casting process. The method has advantages like cost effective, good quality, and process control over other casting techniques.
How are time and gravity related?
Time and gravity are related in a way that can be difficult to describe. But gravity affects the "flow" of time, and time in a field of high gravitation moves more slowly than it does outside thatgravimetric field. Even as time dilation is a consequence of movement in an accelerated frame of reference (If you are moving relative to something else, time moves more slowly for you relative to that something else.) Gravity bends spacetime, and that alters time itself as a consequence. Without going into a windy post including free and bound energies, let's do a little "construction" project. We'll use a clear film with a grid on it, and we'll have it stretched in a square frame, but not too tight. The grid is not distorted in any way now, and this film is spacetime. If we gently place a baseball in the middle of the film, it stretches the film and creates a "dent" or "well" in the film. The stretched area of the film around the gravity well created by the ball can be seen as the lines of the grid no longer maintaining their "even" spacing. The grid has been warped because the plastic film has. Our spacetime has been warped by the mass of the ball, and time is not the same near that ball. It moves more slowly near or in a gravity well. Added: It's important to note that subjective time is always the same. Your second and my second will seem to be the same regardless of the frame of reference in which we experience it. But when our clocks are compared, the clock at the bottom of a gravity well will be seen to have counted its intervals more slowly in comparison with an identical clock outside the gravitational field. Time is not altered, but exchanged. At the bottom of a gravity well, my time will include some of your space, and outside of the gravity well, vice versa.

The main purpose of a ladder is to allow people to get higher than they can reach. A ladder works by leaning it up against a solid surface and then the person climbs the ladder using the rungs.
Earth's gravitational force will have the greatest effect on an airplane?
The gravitational force between the Earth and an airplane is greatest when the
airplane is at the minimum possible altitude.
Its effect on the airplane depends on how the gravitational force is related to the
total system of forces on the aircraft, that is, what other forces are acting on it at
the same time, whether it's climbing, diving, standing still on level ground, standing
on sloped ground in a wind, etc.
A wine glass containing wine is less stable?
Wine glass containing wine tends to create a high centre of gravity which makes it less stable,so it is likely to topple over.
What forces make a marble roll down a hill?
well according philosophy the content in which it prevails is the amount of potential energy which is at the top and the amount of kinetic energy which hits the marble as it is going down because potential mean position and kinetic means motion so a marble in motion would be kinetic energy. Gravity has a big roll in this chasm as well because gravity cause speed: if you try a lab experiment with a marble, you will know what this means
What is the relationship of buoyant force to gravity?
the relationship between buoyant force and gravity is that both definitions have to do with floatation . gravity and buoyant both keep you your object afloat so that it does not submerge
What is the gravitational potential energy at the center of the earth?
Ideally, if the earth were a perfect sphere, the gravitational potential energy would be zero. In the center of a sphere all other points within the sphere have an equal and opposite counterpoint. They work to cancel each other out.
However, the earth is not a perfect sphere so there would likely be a gravitational pull towards the area with the greatest mass.
How do you find out how your Congressman voted on a specific resolution?
Most Congressmen and Senators have their voting record on their websites. The State you live in should have a Main page that gives you an idea of where to look for your Legislators' or Senators' voting record. I have seen it listed on the Federal website in Washington. == On the national level, the Congressional Record holds the facts. All the bills can be read there, and the votes, when they occur, are recorded. But it will take a bit of searching to find the bill and then the vote for that bill. Have a hot cup of tea or a cold ade handy (but not near your keyboard) and then begin your search by using the link provided.
is there actually hot water plumbed to the tub?
The most basic basic answer one could give is that gravity is caused by mass. This is essentially the answer that would have been given in Newton's era.
In 1916 Einstein published his Theory of General Relativity which quickly became (and still is) the best model for gravitation that we have. In Einstein's theory mass and energy are the same thing (consider his famous equation E = mc^2), therefore you might say that gravity is caused by energy (and all mass is energy).
Einstein's theory also offers a geometric picture of gravity; gravity consists of warps and curves in spacetime (caused by the presence of energy) which alter the paths of particles and give the 'illusion' of gravity.
The most in-depth answer currently available is that gravity is caused by the local Poincare invariance of the Laws of Nature. This basically means that you are free to use any coordinate system at any point in space and time and that the laws of nature are the same everywhere. This requirement automatically leads to Einstein's gravity. This is a result from quantum field theory. (Incidentally you can get the other forces of nature, such as the electromagnetic force from similar symmetry considerations).
What is its speed at point B if a roller coaster car started from point A at a height of 100 meter?
The speed of the roller coaster will be limited by various sources of resistance such as that of its wheels on the rails and its passage through the air. If we ignore these we can get an upper bound on the vehicle's speed. You have probably seen the equation that relates final velocity to initial velocity, acceleration and displacement:
v2 = u2 + 2as
where v is initial velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and s is displacement. In this case acceleration is g, gravitational acceleration, and u is zero.
We have : v2 = 2 . 9.80665 m.sec-2 . 100 m = 1961.33 m2.sec-2
Then v = sqrt (1961.33) m.sec-1 ~= 4.43 m.sec-1
Can you gravity feed the water for your washing machine?
Yes you can: many outlying rural properties in Australia not connected to reticulated water have been using such a such a system for many years. It requires: -A washing machine that operates on LOW pressure (most are high-pressure designed for reticulated systems). Ensure you read its manual/instructions carefully: machines differ.
-a tank on a stand or hill sufficiently high for gravity feeding (aim for 20 feet at least: the greater the height the greater the pressure.)
-a tank of sufficient capacity (eg tank of 1000 gallons/4500 litres ) depending on the usage.
-A pump to get it up there in the first place.
