Nine times the original gravitational force

Answer:
nine times the original gravitational force
Explanation:
The rule of the gravitational force between two bodies is shown in the attached images.
The parameters in the rule are:
Fg : the gravitational force between the two bodies
G : universal gravitational constant
m1 and m2 : the masses of the two bodies
r : the distance between the two bodies

From the given rule, we can notice that:
The force of attraction between the two bodies is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
This means that:
As the distance decreases to 1/3 its original value, the gravitational force would increase by a factor of 9. 

Hope this helps :)

A system initially has an internal energy E of 501 J. It undergoes a process during which it releases 111 J of heat energy to th
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

The final energy of the system is 168 J

Explanation:

\triangle Q = \triangle U + W

Heat energy released to the surroundings, \triangle Q = -111 J

Work done, W = 222 J

-111 = \triangle U + 222\\ \triangle U = -111 - 222\\\triangle U = - 333 J

The initial internal energy, E_{1} = 501 J

The change in internal energy is given by the formula, \triangle U = E_{2} - E_{1}

E_{2}  = \triangle U + E_{1}\\E_{2} = -333 + 501\\E_{2} = 168 J

The final energy of the system is 168 J

Three identical train cars, coupled together, are rolling east at speed v0. A fourth car traveling east at 2v0 catches up with t
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

1v_0

Explanation:

Assuming that cars 4 and 5 have same mass so that the momentum  

P=mv where m is mass and v is velocity hence

Momentum=0+2mv+3mv=5mv

The final mass is 2m+3m=5m

From aw of conservation of momentum

5mv_0=5mv hence v=1v_o

Therefore, the speed is 1v_0

What is the speed between reflected ray and the incident ray
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The speed is the same as long as the reflection is regular.

Explanation:

This is because in regular reflection, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection in accordance with the second law of reflection.

Since speed of light depends on the angle of the light ray it makes with the reflecting surface, the speed is the same
