The answer is A. Decreasing the distance between the particles by a factor of 3.

The Universal Law of Gravitation is :

F = Gm₁m₂ / r² (where 'r' is the distance between them)

Since force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them, distance has to be decreased by a factor of 3 to increase the force to 9 times the original force.

Answer:

A friend snorkeling just below the surface of the water along the same shore will detect the sound first.

Explanation:

The speed of sound in water medium is faster than that through the air.
Sound propagates through the medium by transferring through the molecules on it. Water has more closely packed molecules due to which the speed is faster.
In fact, the sound's speed in water is almost four times faster than that in the air.
So the guy in the water surface gets to hear sound faster than the one in sore.

Magnitude of acceleration

Explanation:

We know that acceleration can increase depending in the force applied on an object, any object with a greater mass will apply a greater force. F = M(a).

What is the change in potential energy if the distance separating the electron and proton is increased to 1.0 nm?

Vlada [557]

Answer:

$Ep=-2.3*10^{-19}J$

Explanation:

The change in potential energy can be expressed as:

$Ep=K.\frac{q1.q2}{r}$

where K is a constant with a value of $9*10^{9}\frac{N.m^{2}}{C^{2}}$ , q1 and q2 are the charges of the proton and the electron and r is the distance between them.
