1. the gravitational force acting on a falling body and its weight is constant. but the law of universal gravitation tells us that the gravitational force on a body increases as it gets closer to earth’s center. is there a contradiction here?

Astone is thrown into a pond. what happens to the amplitude of the resulting waves as they get farther from the point where the stone hit the water? explain.

Which is the best predictor of the radioactive nature of an isotope? o the proton-to-electron ratio the neutron-to-proton ratio o the neutron-to-electron ratio the electron-to-proton ratio

Very large accelerations can injure the body, especially if they last for a considerable length of time. one model used to gauge the likelihood of injury is the severity index ( ), defined as =/ . in the expression, is the duration of the accleration, but is not equal to the acceleration. rather, is a dimensionless constant that = the number of multiples of that the acceleration is equal to. in one set of studies of rear-end collisions, a person's velocity increases by 13.7 km/h with an acceleration of 36.0 m/s2 . let the + direction point in the direction the car is traveling. what is the severity index for the collision?
