The correct answer is decreases

The further away you are the weaker it would be. That's why at one point you stop being in the field and ti doesn't pull you towards it anymore. Proportionally, if you move towards the Earth then it increases.

Gravitational force on aircraft at some distance from the Earth is given as

F = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

here we know that

m_1= mass of Earth

m_2 = mass of aircraft

r = distance between center of earth and aircraft

now as the aircraft is flying away from the surface of Earth so here the distance between them is increasing with the motion of aircraft

So as it moves away the force between them will decrease

So here we can say that

When a spacecraft travels away from Earth, the gravitational force acting on it  

<u>decreases</u>

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

r = 16 Km

Explanation:

given  

m_n= 1.67 x 10^-27 Kg

M_star = 3.88 x 10^30 Kg  

A= M_star/m_n

A= 3.88*10^30/1.67 x 10^-27

A=2.28 *10^57  neutrons                           A = The number of neutrons  

we use the number of neutrons as a mass number because the star has only neutrons. = 1.2 x 10-15 m

r = r_o*A^1/3

r = 1.2*10^-15*2.28 *10^57^1/3

r = 16 Km

A ball is thrown vertically downward at 10 m/s. what is it’s speed 1s and 2s later
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

20 m/s

30 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = -10 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

When t = 1 s:

v = v₀ + at

v = (-10 m/s) + (-9.8 m/s²) (1 s)

v = -19.8 m/s

When t = 2 s:

v = v₀ + at

v = (-10 m/s) + (-9.8 m/s²) (2 s)

v = -29.6 m/s

Rounded to one significant figures, the speed of the ball at 1 s and 2 s is 20 m/s and 30 m/s, respectively.
