Does force of gravity act on dust particles?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Gravity**: - Gravity is a universal force that acts between any two objects that have mass. It is an attractive force, meaning it pulls objects towards each other. 2. **Mass of Dust Particles**: - Dust particles, although very small, do possess mass. According to the law of gravity, any object with mass will experience a gravitational force. ...

A hevy box is kept on a smooth inclined plane and is pushed up by a force F acting parallel to the plane. Does the work done by the force F as the box goes from A to B depend on how fast the box was moving at A and B? does the work by the force of gravity depend on this?

A particle slides on frictionless x - y plane. It is acted on by a conservative force described by the potential - energy function U(x, y) =(1)/(2)k(x^(2)+y^(2)) . Derive an expression for the force acting on the particle.
