What is the relationship between distance and mass in termsnof gravitational force

Physics

There is no relationship between distance and mass.  But the gravitational force
between two objects is related to both of those quantities.

-- The gravitational force between two objects is directly proportional to
the product of their masses.

-- The force is also inversely proportional to the square of the distance
between their centers.

Well,

I'm pretty sure you wanted how the distance between objects or the mass of two objects affects the gravitational force.

The Second Universal Law of Gravitation states that the gravitational force between two objects is directly proportional to the mass of the two objects. (mass)

The Third Universal Law of Gravitation is a bit more complex: The gravitational force between two objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distances between those two objects.  This means that if the initial distance between two objects is 1 unit, and the initial gravitational force between those two objects is 1 unit, and then the distance between the two objects is halved, then the gravitational force will increase by the square of 2, or 4 units.  So the final distance will be 0.5 units and the final gravitational force will be 5 units.

What color do glacier appear if they are moving towards us?
kirill [66]

Answer:

Subcategories: Ice field

Explanation:

Glacier ice is blue because the red (long wavelengths) part of white light is absorbed by ice and the blue (short wavelengths) light is transmitted and scattered. The longer the path light travels in ice, the more blue it appears.

The force of ________ is the force at which the earth attracts another object towards itself.
antiseptic1488 [7]
<span>The correct option is C. Gravity, and the complete sentence is: "The force of gravity is the force at which the Earth attracts another object towards itself". In fact, the force of gravity between two objects is given by
</span>F= \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}<span>
where G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 the masses of the two objects, r their separation. If we take the Earth as one of the two objects, then m1 represents the Earth's mass, m2 the mass of the object and r the distance between the center of Earth and the object, and F is the gravitational force at which the Earth attracts the object.</span>

A camcorder has a power rating of 16 watts. If the output voltage from its battery is 7 volts, what current does it use?
GenaCL600 [577]

Power= current*voltage or P=IV

so 16 watts=I*7 volts

divide on both sides to isolate I so you get

I= 16/7 which is about 2.3 amps
