The gravitational force is inversely proportional to squared distance.
This means when the distance between the objects is increased, the gravitational force reduces. 

1600 = k/d². where k is constant.
k=1600d²

When d is doubled, the gravitational force, F,

F = 1600d²/(2d)²
F = 400 N

an apple in a tree has a gravitational potential energy of 175J and a mass of 0.36g . how high from the ground is the apple
Neko [114]
The equation for potential energy is denoted as; 

Pe = mgh,

where m = the mass, g = acceleration due to gravity, and h = vertical height of the apple. We are given the units for everything but height, which is also what we are solving for. We can then algebraically rearrange our initial equation to solve for h;

h = (Pe)/(mg)

Plug in your given units, and solve!





Post-check:

h = Pe/mg

h = 175J/(0.36g)(-9.81m/s^2)

h = appr. 49.5 meters

Note: Potential energy is a vector quantity; the displacement of the apple will be a negative number, but the distance itself, a scalar quantity, will be the absolute value of that.

Which of the following explains why metallic bonding only occurs between
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

D. Metallic atoms have valence shells that are mostly empty, which

means these atoms are more likely to give up electrons and allow

them to move freely.

Explanation:

Metals usually contain very few electrons in their valence shells hence they easily give up these few valence electrons to yield metal cations.

In the metallic bond, metal cations are held together by electrostatic attraction between the metal ions and a sea of mobile electrons.

Since metals give up their electrons easily, it is very easy for them to participate in metallic bonding. They give up their electrons easily because their valence shells are mostly empty, metal valence shells usually contain only a few electrons.

9. A car driver brakes gently. Her car slows down front --
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

9) This is a case of deceleration

10)-0.8 ms-2

b) acceleration is the change in velocity with time

11)

a) 100 ms-1

b) 100 seconds

12) 10ms-1

13) more information is needed to answer the question

14) - 0.4 ms^-2

15) 0.8 ms^-2

Explanation:

The deceleration is;

v-u/t

v= final velocity

u= initial velocity

t= time taken

20-60/50 =- 40/50= -0.8 ms-2

11)

Since it starts from rest, u=0 hence

v= u + at

v= 10 ×10

v= 100 ms-1

b)

v= u + at but u=0

1000 = 10 t

t= 1000/10

t= 100 seconds

12) since the sprinter must have started from rest, u= 0

v= u + at

v= 5 × 2

v= 10ms-1

14)

v- u/t

10 - 20/ 25

10/25

=- 0.4 ms^-2

15)

a=v-u/t

From rest, u=0

8 - 0/10

a= 8/10

a= 0.8 ms^-2

At a time t = 2.80 s , a point on the rim of a wheel with a radius of 0.230 m has a tangential speed of 51.0 m/s as the wheel sl
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

Part A) the angular acceleration is α= 44.347 rad/s²

Part B) the angular velocity is 195.13 rad/s

Part C)  the angular velocity is 345.913 rad/s

Part D ) the time is t= 7.652 s

Explanation:

Part A) since angular acceleration is related with angular acceleration through:

α = a/R = 10.2 m/s² / 0.23 m =   44.347 rad/s²

Part B) since angular acceleration is related

since

v = v0 + a*(t-t0) =  51.0 m/s + (-10.2 m/s²)*(3.4 s - 2.8 s) = 44.88 m/s

since

ω = v/R = 44.88 m/s/ 0.230 m = 195.13 rad/s

Part C) at t=0

v = v0 + a*(t-t0) =  51.0 m/s + (-10.2 m/s²)*(0 s - 2.8 s) = 79.56 m/s

ω = v/R = 79.56 m/s/ 0.230 m = 345.913 rad/s

Part D ) since the radial acceleration is related with the velocity through

ar = v² / R → v= √(R * ar) = √(0.23 m  * 9.81 m/s²)= 1.5 m/s

therefore

v = v0 + a*(t-t0) → t =(v -  v0) /a + t0 = ( 1.5 m/s - 51.0 m/s) / (-10.2 m/s²) + 2.8 s = 7.652 s

t= 7.652 s

The presence of a uniform magnetic field may be detected by using a
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

Magnetic compass

Explanation:

A magnetic field is a field that describes the magnetic effect of electric charges in a relative motion.

Magnetic field allows magnets to interact without contact. The principle involved in the function of the compass is that a magnetic field exerts a force on any moving charge and can be measured and detected by this effect.
