Explain the relationships between gravity, mass, and distance.

Physics
2 answers:
Mazyrski [523]3 years ago

Answer:

As the mass of an object increases, its gravitational force increases.

As an object's distance to other objects increases, its gravitational force on those objects increases.

Explanation:

The gravitational force of one object on another is calculated with the equation

F = (G*m1*m2)/(r²),

where G is the gravitational constant,

M1 and M2 are the masses of the two objects, and

r is the distance between them

We can see that the force has a direct relationship with both of the mass values, and an inverse square relationship with the distance between them.

Hope this helped!

Simpler way to put it:

Gravity has a direct relationship with mass. An increase in mass results in an increase in gravitational force. Gravity also has an inverse relationship with distance. An increase in distance results in a decrease in gravitational force.

PLS HELP THIS IS WORTH A LOT OF POINTS ON MY TEST. WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

Explanation:

By conservation of energy, speed of the ball going up = speed of ball coming down with the ball stops at the top.

Because the gravity acceleration is constant, by symmetry, half of total time, 6/2 = 3s, is for going up and the last 3s for coming down.

Consider the last 3s when the ball drops from top to bottom, the initial velocity = 0 and acceleration = 10m/s^2

distance traveled = initial velocity * time + 1/2 * acceleration * time^2

= 0*3 + 1/2*10*3^2

= 5*9

= 45m

So maximum height of the ball is 45m.

What happens when a vector is multiplied by a scalar?
iogann1982 [59]

The scalar operates only on the magnitude of the vector. 
So the length of the vector may change ... becoming longer
or shorter ... but its direction doesn't change.

a mountain biker cycling a trail traveling at 5.4 m/s begins to slow down when she notice a wooden bridge ahead has flooded. if
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

t = 5.56 s

Explanation:

In order to calculate the time interval taken by the mountain biker to come to a stop, we will use third equation of motion and first find the deceleration:

2as = Vf² - Vi²

where,

a = deceleration = ?

s = distance = 15 m

Vf = Final Velocity = 0 m/s

Vi = Initial Velocity = 5.4 m/s

Therefore,

2a(15 m) = (0 m/s²) - (5.4 m/s)²

a = - 0.972 m/s²

Now, we use 1st equation of motion:

Vf = Vi + at

therefore,

0 m/s = 5.4 m/s + (-0.972 m/s²)(t)

t = (5.4 m/s)/(0.972 m/s²)

<u>t = 5.56 s</u>

Why do resistors have tolerance?
MariettaO [177]
Machines capable of manufacturing exactly the same component time after time,
with exactly the resistance you want, would be very expensive, and so would the
products they turn out.  A resistor would cost a dollar instead of a few pennies.
The machine itself, and its output, work within tolerances.

The cheapest mass-produced resistors are guaranteed to be within 20% above
or below the resistance marked on them.  And you know what ?  For most bench-
work and prototyping, that's usually close enough.

Do you think it would take more force to transport five blocks in the sled or in the wagon?
enot [183]
It will depend on the frictional force involved in the two. I think it will take more force in sled.
