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.

Answer:

3.2075*10^16

Explanation:

Q=P/V just search up a converter and youll get 30V and so you do 15/30 which is a half and a single coulomb is 6.415*10^16 so you half it. I belive this is correct if you dont belive me wait for someone else smarter to answer and compare.

Do heavier objects fall more slowly than lighter objects?
aksik [14]
Think of it like this, gravity has to pull harder on the heavier object to make them fall at the same rate , but doesn't have to pull as hard for the lighter object , thus is why sometimes heavier objects fall faster then lighter ones

What is the meaning of technology
slamgirl [31]
The exact definition of technology is: The application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, especially in industry.

The way I would put it is that technology isn’t just electronics, smartphones, and flying cars. Technology is information that people reveal and figure out and this is why it advances. You hear all the time the “advances in technology” and it’s a term that has grown rapidly. It helps businesses to progress, it’s taught people, it’s in some ways beneficial to people’s lives. It has many meanings and really that is technology simply put.

As a cold air mass advances on a warm air mass, what usually comes before it?​
Marina CMI [18]

Answer: A cold front occurs when a cold air mass advances into a region occupied by a warm air mass. If the boundary between the cold and warm air masses doesn't move, it is called a stationary front.

Explanation: Two types of occluded front exist: the warm-type and the cold-type. They’re distinguished by the relative temperatures of the air mass ahead of the occlusion – in other words, the air mass ahead of the original warm front – and the air mass behind the cold front. If the air behind the cold front is colder than the air ahead of the occlusion, it shoves beneath that air (because it’s denser) to form a cold-type occluded front. If the air behind the cold front is warmer than the air ahead, it rides over it to form a warm-type occluded front – which appears to be the more common case. In either situation, the lighter warm air representing the air mass originally between the warm and cold fronts sits above the boundary between the two cooler air masses.

Hope this helps!!
