Distance is the most important factor. Although the masses of the two objects are important, the product of their masses is then divided by the square of the distance between them.

The strength of the gravitational forces between two objects depends on
the masses of both objects and on the distance between their centers.

I don't think you can say that one or the other is the "<em>main</em>" influence.

-- If each mass is multiplied by ' k ', then the forces between them are
multiplied by ' k² '. 

-- And if the distance between them is multiplied by ' k ', then the forces
between them are divided by ' k² '. 

Seems pretty equal to me.

A cyclist rides at 6.20 m/s through a intersection. A stationary car begins to
Xelga [282]

Answer:

The width of the intersection is 20 meters

Explanation:

The speed with which the cyclist is riding, v₁ = 6.20 m/s

The rate at which the car starts to accelerate, a = 3.844 m/s²

The initial velocity of the car = The car is stationary at the start = 0 m/s

The time at which the cyclist and the car reach the other side of the intersection = The same time;

Let 't' represent the time at which the cyclist and the car both reach the other side of the intersection, we have;

The distance travelled by the cyclist = The distance traveled by the car

∴ v₁ × t = 1/2 × a × t²

Plugging in the values for 'v₁', and 'a' in the above equation, we get;

6.20 × t = 1/2 × 3.844 × t²

∴ 1.922·t² - 6.20·t = 0

∴ t·(1.922·t - 6.20) = 0

t = 0, or t = 6.20/1.922 = 100/31

The time at which the cyclist and the car both reach the other side of the intersection, t = 100/31 seconds

The with of the intersection, w = v₁ × t

∴ w = 6.20 × 100/31 = 100/5 = 20

The width of the intersection, w = 20 meters.

Calculate the speed for a car that went a distance of 125 meters in 2 seconds time.
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

<h2>62.5 m/s</h2>

Explanation:

The speed of the car can be found by using the formula

s =  \frac{d}{t} \\

d is the distance

t is the time

From the question we have

s =  \frac{125}{2}  = 62.5 \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>62.5 m/s</h3>

Hope this helps you

A string is tied between two posts separated by 2.4 m. When the string is driven by an oscillator at frequency 567 Hz, 5 points
Alex787 [66]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

       Length (l) = 2.4 m

       Frequency (f) = 567 Hz

Formula to calculate the speed of a transverse wave is as follows.

                  f = \frac{5}{2l} \times v

Putting the gicven values into the above formula as follows.

                  f = \frac{5}{2l} \times v

                 567 Hz = \frac{5}{2 \times 2.4 m} \times v

                      v = 544.32 m/s

Thus, we can conclude that the speed (in m/s) of a transverse wave on this string is 544.32 m/s.

A sphere has a radius of 3.9cm and a density of 7.58 g/cm cubed. What is the mass?
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

m=ρV

V=4/3 * pi * r3

V=1.3 * 3.14 * 3.9^3

V=242.14 cm^3

m=7.58 * 242.14

m=1.8 kG

Explanation:

1. We calculate volume for sphere.

2. Then we calculate mass of sphere.
