the gravitational force between two objects is ____ proportional to the product of the masses of the objects

Physics
1 answer:
OLEGan [10]4 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

There exist a force of gravity between two masses. It is given by :

F=G\times \dfrac{m_1m_2}{r^2}...........(1)

Where

G is the universal gravitational constant

m₁ and m₂ are masses

r is the distance between them

From equation (1) it is clear that the force of gravity between two masses is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

So, the gravitational force between two objects is <em><u>directly proportional</u></em> to the product of the masses of the objects

Which disadvantage of nuclear power use poses the greatest threat to the environment?
Mekhanik [1.2K]

The correct answer is The storage and management of radioactive wastes

Explanation:

In general, nuclear reactions (changes in the nucleus of an atom such as fission) release a lot of energy including a lot of heat. Moreover, this heat is used by humans to obtain electricity and other types of energy, which is known as a nuclear power. This type of power is considered positive because it does not emit carbon and it is quite efficient.

However, in most cases, it is a threat to the environment and living beings because storing and managing the wastes of this type of power is difficult and expensive. Indeed, dealing with the wastes of nuclear power requires complex infrastructure, and any accident or leaking leads to serious consequences from the death of those exposed to the wastes to permanent loss of diversity or changes in nearby areas.

Rank the pressures from highest to lowest:
n200080 [17]

Answer:

P₃ > P₁ > P₂

Explanation:

To rank pressure of the given situation

a) we know

  Pressure at height h below

      P = ρ g h

density of salt water, ρ = 1029 kg/m³

      P₁ = 1029 x 10 x 0.2

      P₁ = 2058 Pa

b) density of fresh water, ρ = 1000 kg/m³

      P₂ = 1000 x 10 x 0.2

      P₂ = 2000 Pa

c) density of mercury, ρ = 13593 kg/m³

      P₃ = 13593 x 10 x 0.05

      P₃ = 6796.5 Pa

Rank of Pressures from highest to lowest

        P₃ > P₁ > P₂

1.Differentiate between heat and temperature. Use an everyday situation to supplement your answer.
enot [183]

Answer:  Temperature is the average kinetic energy of the molecules (how hot or cold something feels). Heat energy is the energy created y the motion of the molecules in an object. Heat flows from hot body to cold body. Temperature rises when heated and falls down when an object is cooled down.

There are three main scales commonly used in the world today to measure temperature: the Fahrenheit (°F) scale, the Celsius (°C) scale, and the Kelvin (K) scale. Each of these scales uses a different set of divisions based on different reference points, as described in detail below.
