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.

Which section of the reaction represents the reactants? A) a B) b C) c D) d

ivann1987 [24]

This question is incomplete, but I can do it for you, considering the equation to be *In its most famous form*:
A+B⇒C+D
A and B here are the reactants, while C and D are the products.
The reactants are generally the input materials in the beginning of any chemical reactions and they usually, if not always, are on the left hand side of the chemical equation. While the products are on the right hand side and are the final output of the chemical reaction.

Hope this helps.

A pump jack scaffold must be fitted with two ______ gripping mechanisms to prevent slippage.

FromTheMoon [43]

A pump jack scaffold must be fitted with two positive gripping mechanisms to prevent slippage. Pump jacks are a uniquely designed scaffold consisting of a platform supported by movable brackets on vertical poles. The brackets are designed to be raised and lowered in a manner similar to an automobile jack. It is important to make sure that pump jack brackets have two positive gripping mechanisms to prevent any failure or slippage.

The radius of a planet is 2400 km, and the acceleration due to gravity at its surface is 3.6 m/s2.

kiruha [24]

Answer:

$3.1\cdot10^{23}\:\mathrm{kg}$

Explanation:

We can use Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation to solve this problem:

$g_P=G\frac{m}{r^2}$ ., where $g_P$ is acceleration due to gravity at the planet's surface, $G$ is gravitational constant $6.67\cdot 10^{-11}$ , $m$ is the mass of the planet, and $r$ is the radius of the planet.
