Answer:

The gravitational force between them increases by a factor of 4

Explanation:

Gravitational force is a force of attraction between two objects with masses M and m which are separated by a distance R. It is given mathematically as:

Fg = GMm/R²

Where G = Gravitational constant.

If the distance between their centers, R, decreases by a factor of 2, then it means the new distance between their centers is:

r = R/2

Hence,the gravitational force becomes:

Fg = GMm/r²

Fg = GMm/(R/2)²

Fg = GMm/(R²/4)

Fg = 4GMm/R²

Hence,the gravitational force increases by a factor of 4.

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

Hey

(note you have forgotten your diagram so this may not be what you where hoping for.)

The important discovery that galilao made was that he proved that <em><u>all objects no matter their mass fall at the same rate.</u></em>

That is to say that a bowling ball falls at the same rate as a truck.

A toy car pushed across the floor is observed to slow down and stop based on Newton’s first law of motion what is the best concl
Maksim231197 [3]

An object in motion eventually stops because of friction.

<h3>What is Newton’s first law of motion?</h3>

Newton's first law states that if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or continue its moving in a straight line at constant speed unless force is applied on it.

So we can conclude that An object in motion eventually stops is the correct answer.

A bungee jumper of mass m = 65 kg jumps from a bridge.
yawa3891 [41]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply energy conservation.

By definition we know that kinetic energy is equal to potential energy, therefore

PE = KE

mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

Where,

m = mass

g = gravitaty constat

v = velocity

h = height

Re-arrange to find h,

h=\frac{v^2}{2g}

Replacing with our values

h=\frac{26^2}{2*9.8}

h = 34.498\approx 34.5m

Therefore the correct answer is C.
