What effect would decreasing the distance between objects have on their gravitational attraction to each other?

2 answers:

8 0

Decreasing the distance between objects will result in a greater gravitational attraction between each other. This is because the distance is inversely related to the gravitational attraction. For instance, in the same way, if the distance between two objects was increased, then their gravitational attraction to each other would decrease.

Decreasing the distance between two objects having a considerable mass would increase the attraction on gravitation. The reverse is true that if you separate or inrease the objects distance would substantially decrease their gravitational attraction. Most object in our planet is held by its gravitational force towards it's center.

What would be the answer for this and how?

Veronika [31]

Answer:

B. 6 cm

Explanation:

First, we calculate the spring constant of a single spring:

$k = \frac{F}{\Delta x}\\$

where,

k = spring constant of single spring = ?

F = Force Applied = 10 N

Δx = extension = 4 cm = 0.04 m

Therefore,

$k = \frac{10\ N}{0.04\ m}\\k = 250\ N/m\\$

Now, the equivalent resistance of two springs connected in parallel, as shown in the diagram, will be:

$k_{eq} = k + k\\k_{eq} = 2k = 2(250\ N/m)\\k_{eq} = 500\ N/m\\$

For a load of 30 N, applying Hooke's Law:

$\Delta x = \frac{F}{k_{eq}}\\\\\Delta x = \frac{30\ N}{500\ N/m}\\\\\Delta x = 0.06\ m = 6\ cm\\$

Hence, the correct option is:

A black, totally absorbing piece of cardboard of area a = 2.1 cm2 intercepts light with an intensity of 8.8 w/m2 from a camera s

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

The value of radiation pressure is $2.933 \times 10^{-8}$ Pa

Explanation:

Given:

Intensity $I = 8.8$ $\frac{W}{m^{2} }$

Area of piece $A = 2.1 \times 10^{-4}$ $m^{2}$

From the formula of radiation pressure in terms of intensity,

$P = \frac{I}{c}$

Where $P =$ radiation pressure, $c =$ speed of light

We know value of speed of light,

$c = 3 \times 10^{8}$ $\frac{m}{s}$

Put all values in above equation,

$P = \frac{8.8}{3 \times 10^{8} }$

$P = 2.933 \times 10^{-8}$ Pa

Therefore, the value of radiation pressure is $2.933 \times 10^{-8}$ Pa

A Net Force of 9.0 N acts through a distance of 3.0 m in a time of 3.0 s. The work done is?

JulijaS [17]

Work done is the distance a force acts over.

So, the work done here is 9.0N * 3.0m = 27 J

Explain what causes something to be a magnet

Luden [163]

Magnetism is the force exerted by magnets when they attract or repel each other. Magnetism is caused by the motion of electric charges. Every substance is made up of tiny units called atoms. Each atom has electrons, particles that carry electric charges.
