Describe how mass and distance affect gravitational force?

It depends. The strength of gravitational force between non other than two objects depends on two factors. Mass and distance. The force of gravity and masses exert on each other. Making a consequence if one of the masses are doubled, the force of gravity of the the objects is doubled.

Hope this helps.

Explanation:

The Newton's law of gravitation gives the force acting between two bodies when they are separated by some distance. Mathematically, it is given by :

$F=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{d^2}$

It shows that the gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of masses of two bodies and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.

So, as the mass of bodies increases, the gravitational force increases and with the increase of distance between them, the gravitational force decreases.

8. two +1 C charges are separated by 3000m. What is the magnitude of the electric force between them?

Sidana [21]

Answer:

1000 N

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charged object is given by

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where

k is the Coulomb constant

q1, q2 is the magnitude of the two charges

r is the distance between the two objects

Moreover, the force is:

- Attractive if the two forces have opposite sign

- Repulsive if the two forces have same sign

In this problem:

$q_1=q_2=+1C$ are the two charges

r = 3000 m is their separation

Therefore, the electric force between the charges is:

$F=(9\cdot 10^9)\frac{(1)(1)}{3000^2}=1000 N$

Please help me to solve this and give me the summary of answer

Neko [114]

Using the principle of floatation.

u = w............(a)

Upthrust of fluid is equal to the weight of the object.

Let the volume of the wood be V.

The upthrust u, is related to the volume submerged in water, and that is 1/5 of it volume, that is (1/5)V = 0.2V

Formula for upthrust, u = vdg

where v = volume of fluid displaced
d = density of fluid
g = acceleration due to gravity

weight, w = mg
where m = mass
g = acceleration due to gravity

From (a)

   u = w

   vdg = mg Cancel out g

   vd = m

The v is equal to 0.2V, which is the submerged volume. Notice that the small letter v is volume of fluid displaced, and capital V is the volume of the solid.

d is density of fluid which is water in this case, 1000 kg/m³

   0.2V * 1000 = m

   200V = m

Hence the mass of the object is 200V kg.

But Density of solid = Mass of solid / Volume of solid

   = 200V / V

   = 200 kg/m³

Density of solid = 200 kg/m³

A point charge with charge q1 = 3.40 μC is held stationary at the origin. A second point charge with charge q2 = -4.90 μC moves

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

-0.79 J

Explanation:

We are given that

$q_1=3.4\mu C=3.4\times 10^{-6} C$

$1\mu C=10^{-6} C$

$q_2=-4.9\mu C=-4.9\times 10^{-6} C$

$x_1=0.125,y_1=0$

$x_2=0.280,y_2=0.235$

We have to find the work done by the electric force on the moving point charge.

$r_1=\sqrt{x^2_1+y^2_1}=\sqrt{(0.125)^2+0}=0.125$

$r_2=\sqrt{(0.280)^2+(0.235)^2}=0.366$

Work done, $W=kq_1q_2(\frac{1}{r_1}-\frac{1}{r_2})$

Where $k=9\times 10^9$

Using the formula

$W=9\times 10^9\times 3.4\times 10^{-6}\times(-4.9\times 10^{-6})(\frac{1}{0.125}-\frac{1}{0.366})$

$W=-0.79 J$

How are weather satellites and weather stations similar?

alexandr402 [8]

<span>Weather satellites and weather stations are similar, because they both have the same purpose. They are used to help predict future weather as well as as current conditions. The satellites are viewing the weather from a distance at a large scope, but stations are using data they collect on earth to help with the same task.</span>
