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>

Suppose the coefficient of static friction between a quarter and the back wall of a rocket car is 0.330. At what minimum rate wo
Helga [31]

Answer:3.23 m/s^2

Explanation:

Given

\mu_s =0.330

Frictional Force is balanced by force due to car acceleration

Frictional force F_s

F_s=ma_{min}

\mu_sN=ma_{min}

\mu_s\cdot mg=ma_{min}

a_{min}=\mu_s \cdot g=0.330\times 9.8=3.23 m/s^2

Explain two reasons why astronomers are continually building larger and larger telescopes. Explain two reasons why astronomers a
Sergio [31]

Answer:

* Larger mirrors collect more light and therefore fainter and more distant objects can have enough intensity to be detected

* arger mirrors decreases the angle of dispersion giving a better resolution of the bodies

Explanation:

Refracting telescopes get bigger every day for two main reasons.

* Larger mirrors collect more light and therefore fainter and more distant objects can have enough intensity to be detected

* the diffraction process for circular apertures is given by

               θ = 1.22 λ / D

where d is the diameter of the mirror, therefore having larger mirrors decreases the angle of dispersion giving a better resolution of the bodies
