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

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.

When a wave is acted upon by an external damping force what happens to the energy of the wave

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

A-the energy of the wave decreases gradually

Explanation:

when a wave is acted upon by an external damping force the energy of the wave decreases gradually.

The energy degrades into the form of heat which is considered to be of less value and use. The reason is because it disperses and spreads more widely.

So therefore it end up as heat with a little sound but that is close to none because that too disperses into heat i.e. decreased form of energy.

One end of a string is fixed. An object attached to the other end moves on a horizontal plane with uniform circular motion of ra

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

If both the radius and frequency are doubled, then the tension is increased 8 times.

Explanation:

The radial acceleration ( $a_{r}$ ), measured in meters per square second, experimented by the moving end of the string is determined by the following kinematic formula:

$a_{r} = 4\pi^{2}\cdot f^{2}\cdot R$ (1)

Where:

$f$ - Frequency, measured in hertz.

$R$ - Radius of rotation, measured in meters.

From Second Newton's Law, the centripetal acceleration is due to the existence of tension ( $T$ ), measured in newtons, through the string, then we derive the following model:

$\Sigma F = T = m\cdot a_{r}$ (2)

Where $m$ is the mass of the object, measured in kilograms.

By applying (1) in (2), we have the following formula:

$T = 4\pi^{2}\cdot m\cdot f^{2}\cdot R$ (3)

From where we conclude that tension is directly proportional to the radius and the square of frequency. Then, if radius and frequency are doubled, then the ratio between tensions is:

$\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} = \left(\frac{f_{2}}{f_{1}} \right)^{2}\cdot \left(\frac{R_{2}}{R_{1}} \right)$ (4)

$\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} = 4\cdot 2$

$\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} = 8$

If both the radius and frequency are doubled, then the tension is increased 8 times.
