There's not enough information to find an answer.

I think the idea here is that in descending (416 - 278) = 138 meters,
the glider gives up some gravitational potential energy, which
becomes kinetic energy at the lower altitude.  This is all well and
good, but we can't calculate the difference in potential energy
without knowing the mass of the glider.

A submarine is 3.00 x 10^2 m horizontally from shore and 120.0 m beneath the surface of the water. A laser beam is sent from the
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) Let angle of incidence and angle of refraction be i and r respectively .

submarine is 300 m away from the shore . The point where laser strikes the surface of sea is 90 m horizontally away .

Tan r = 90 / 120

= 3 / 4

.75

r = 37 degree

c ) sini / sin37 = 1.333

sini = .8

i = 53 degree

Tan 53 = 210 / h , h is height of the building .

h = 210 / tan 53

= 158 m

A centrifuge is used to test space pilots. The centrifuge spins with a centripetal acceleration of 6.54 g. If the length of the
Juliette [100K]
The centripetal acceleration is calculated using the following rule:
C = (v^2) / (r)
where:
C is the centripetal acceleration = 6.54 g = 6.54 * 9.8 = 64.092 m/sec^2
v is the speed of the centrifuge that we want to calculate
r is the radius of radius (length of centrifuge arm) = 15 m

Substitute with the givens to get the speed as follows:
64.092 = (v^2) / 15
v^2 = 961.38
v = 31.006 m/sec

Two objects attract each other gravitationally. If the distance between their centers decreases by a factor of 2, how does the g
uysha [10]

Answer:

E)The gravitational force increases by a factor of 4.

Explanation:

Isaac Newton presented the law of Universal Gravitation in his book published in 1687, "Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica". According to this Newton's law, the more mass the objects possess, the greater the force of attraction, and the closer they are to each other, the greater that force will be.

All material particles and all bodies attract each other simply by having mass, in direct proportion to their masses.<u> Gravity has an infinite theoretical scope; but, the force is greater if the objects are close, and while they are moving away that force loses intensity in proportion to the square of the distance that separates the bodies</u>. For example, if one object moves away from another three times the distance, then the force of gravity is reduced to the ninth part or vice versa if the distance between objects decreases with a factor of 2, the gravitational force increases a factor of 4.

Newton's law of universal gravitation is expressed as follows :

Fg = G * M1 * M2 / (r12)^2

Where:

Fg: gravitational force

G: it is the universal gravitation constant and is worth approximately 6,674 * 10 -11

M1 and M2: mass of objects

r12: distance between objects

Newton's 3rd law of motion states:
For every action, there is an equal or opposite reaction.

I believe they relate in that force is the backing of momentum.
