Answer:

True

Explanation:

All the planets have formed from a mass of spinning particles. As they formed from spinning mass the planets are still spinning due to the conservation of angular momentum. Hence all planets spins about an axis running through it.

All planets spin in counterclockwise direction when viewed from above. Except Venus rotates in anticlockwise direction and Uranus' axis of rotation is titled towards its side.

A car travels 100 km to the east. If the first half of the distance is driven at 50 km/h and the second half at 100 km/h, what i

Lina20 [59]

First half:

50 km at 50 km/hr ... 1 hour

Second half:

50 km at 100 km/hr ... 1/2 hour

Total distance = 100 km

Total time = 1.5 hours

Average speed = (100 km) / (1.5 hrs)

Average speed = 66 and 2/3 km/hr

Average velocity = 66 and 2/3 km/hr East

If the distance between two masses is tripled, the gravitational force between changes by a factor of:_______

adell [148]

Answer:

option A

Explanation:

given,

distance between two masses is doubled

new distance, r' = 3 r

using gravitational force equation

$F = \dfrac{GMm}{r^2}$ ............(1)

new gravitational force

$F' = \dfrac{GMm}{r'^2}$

now from the given condition

$F' = \dfrac{GMm}{(3r)^2}$

$F' = \dfrac{GMm}{9r^2}$

$F' = \dfrac{1}{9}\dfrac{GMm}{r^2}$

now, from equation (1)

$F' = \dfrac{1}{9}F$

$\dfrac{F'}{F} = \dfrac{1}{9}$

now, the change in gravitational force factor is equal to $\dfrac{1}{9}$

Hence, the correct answer is option A
