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

How does a decrease in thermal energy affect the particle motion in each state of matter

Valentin [98]

The thermal energy is proportional to the movement of the particles in every state.

Decreasing the thermal energy will decrease the movement.

A car is initially moving at 10.5 m/s and accelerates uniformly to reach a speed of 21.7 m/s in 4.34 s. How far did the car move

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

A. 69.9m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity = 10.5m/s

Final velocity = 21.7m/s

Time = 4.34s

Unknown:

Distance traveled = ?

Solution:

Let us first find the acceleration of the car;

Acceleration = $\frac{v - u}{t}$

v is final velocity

u is initial velocity

t is the time

Acceleration = $\frac{21.7 - 10.5}{4.34}$ = 2.58m/s²

Distance traveled;

V² = U² + 2aS

21.7² = 10.5² + 2 x 2.58 x S

360.64 = 2 x 2.58 x S

S = 69.9m

The sun produces large amounts of energy. By what process does the sun produce energy?

AlladinOne [14]

The sun produces energy by converting gravitational potential energy into radiation via quantum processes in the nucleus of the atoms.

Since the mass of the sun and it's temperature are not quite enough to generate nuclear FUSION on their own, quantum tunneling is the primary process by which nuclear fusion occurs in our sun, SOL. FISSION also occurs as a result of this fusion.

Additionally, gravitational potential energy is also the reason that supernovae are so bright. Cool!
