Mary and John are seated on a bench a distance 2 part. Suddenly, John moves closer to Mary and claims that he has been drawn by the gravitational force. Is John’s claim justifiable? Show quantitatively. (Assume the masses of John and Mary are 67 and 55 respectively, and the coefficient of static friction between John and the bench is 0.15). [4]

no

gravitational force between them is far smaller than the frictional force between the guy and the bench

the motion of a pendulum is a classic example of mechanical energy conservation. a pendulum consists of a mass (known as a bob ) attached by a string to a pivot point. as the pendulum moves it sweeps out a circular arc, moving back and forth in a periodic fashion.

the temperature in kelvin of 2.0 dm3 of an ideal gas is doubled and its pressure is increased by a factor of four. what is the final volume of the gas
