Escape velocity is the velocity required to just escape the gravitational pull of a body. The gravitational force of a body is given by Newtons Law:
F = GMm / r² (where G is the gra...

The diagram should show a negative point charge with the electric field lines pointing towards the point charge. The separation of the lines should decrease as you get closer to the point charge. The line...

(Lets consider a simple planetary system composed of a planet orbiting a star. the gravitational force between the two is given by F=(GMm)/(r²). Assuming the planet also moves in a circular orb...

Waves that go up and down in a curvy shape like you would draw on a piece of paper are called transverse waves. Scientifically, these are when the particles move in a direction that is perpendicular (90) ...

Stress = Force/Area and cross sectional area of a cyclinder = pi.r²
As diameter = 10.0cm=0.1m r=0.05m so area = 3.14*0.05² = 0.00785m²
As the force is 50.0N the...
