What is the effect on the force of gravity between two objects if the mass of one object remains unchanged while the distance to

the second object and the second object's mass are both doubled?

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.

We shall consider two properties:
1. Temperature difference
2. Thermal conductivity of the material

Use a cylindrical rod of a given material (say steel) which is insulated around its circumference.

One end of the rod is dipped in a large reservoir of water at 100 deg.C and the other end is dipped in water (with known volume) at 40 deg. C. The cold water if stored in a cylinder which is insulated on all sides. A thermometer reads the temperature of the cold water as a function of time.

This experiment will show that
(a) heat flows from a region of high temperature to a region of lower temperature.
(b) The thermal energy of a body increases when heat is added to it, and its temperature will rise.
(c) The thermal conductivity of water determines how quickly its temperature will rise. If mercury replaces water in the cold cylinder, its temperature will rise at a different rate because its thermal conductivity is different.

Answer:

9 times

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is:

KE = ½ mv²

When we triple the velocity, the kinetic energy increases by a factor of 9.

9KE = ½ m(3v)²
