Answer:

The force of gravity after you double the mass and the distance is half of the initial force: F_{2}=\frac{1}{2}F_{1}

Explanation:

The initial force of gravity is:

F_{1}=\frac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}

where G is the universal gravitational constant, m_{1} is the mass of the first object, m_{2} is the mass of the second object, and r is the distance between the objects.

If the mass of the second object is doubled, now we have 2m_{2}, and if the distance between the objects is also doubled instead of r now we have 2r.

So the force of gravity now is:

F_{2}=\frac{Gm_{1}(2m_{2})}{(2r)^2}\\ F_{2}=\frac{2Gm_{1}m_{2}}{4r^2} \\F_{2}=\frac{1}{2} \frac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}

and we know that F_{1}=\frac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}

so the new force of gravity is:

F_{2}=\frac{1}{2}F_{1}

The force of gravity after you double the mass and the distance is half of the initial force.

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

C. 14.93 m

Explanation:

The given frequency of the wave, f = 100 Hz

The given equation for the wave speed, <em>v</em>, is presented as follows;

v = f × λ

The speed of sound in water, v = 1,493 m/s

Therefore, we get;

The wavelength, λ = v/f

∴ λ = 1,493 m/s/(100 Hz) = 14.93 m

The wavelength, λ = 14.93 m.

What is the velocity of an object that has been in free fall for 1.5s?
Crank

Answer:

D. 15 m/s downward

Explanation:

v = at + v₀

v = (-9.8 m/s²) (1.5 s) + (0 m/s)

v = -14.7 m/s

Rounded to two significant figures, the answer is D, 15 m/s downward.
