The force of attraction between two objects can be illustrated using Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation.
The relation between the different parameters is shown in the attached image.

Now, from the relation, we can deduce that the force between the two objects is directly proportional to the masses of the two objects.

This means that, if the mass of one object is doubled, then the force between the two objects will also be doubled.

action and reaction are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction then , why do not they balance each other

Galina-37 [17]

Explanation:

Newton’s third law of motion states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. This indicates that forces always act in pairs. Reaction forces are equal and opposite, but they are not balanced forces because they act on different objects so they don’t cancel each other out.

An object that has lost its electrons become?

Andrej [43]

Answer: A positively charged ion/ cation

Explanation: When an atom loses all of its electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion. Also referred to as the cation, the object will have a shortage of electrons, leading to a positive charge. Keep in mind that an atom will become positive if it loses electrons, and will become negative if it gains electrons.

What is the relationship between the spring constant and the period in a mass hanging on a spring oscillation and why?

anygoal [31]

Explanation:

Period of a mass on a spring is:

T = 2π√(m/k)

T is inversely proportional with the square root of k. So as the spring constant increases, the period decreases.

Which soil horizon is located closest to the earth's crust?

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer: O horizon

Horizons refers to the distinct layers of soil lying parallel to the earth surface. Horizons develop as a result of soil formation. Soil forms as a result of weathering or rocks and addition of organic matter from the decomposition of plant and animal waste. Each horizon differs from the others on the basis of color, texture, type of particles present in the soil, type of minerals present and amount of organic matter present in the soil.

O horizon is the soil horizon that is located closest to the earth's crust. This horizon consist of undecayed or partially decayed animal and plant waste like shedded leaves, bark, animal skin and feces. As, the matter remains undecomposed, therefore, this horizon consists of low amount of organic matter and it is less fertile for plant growth.
