The image is missing (however it's not necessary to solve the problem).

The correct answer is A) decreases, because the gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. In fact, the magnitude of the gravitational force between two object of mass M and m, at a distance d one from each other, is
F=G \frac{Mm}{d^2}
where G is the gravitational constant. As can be seen from the formula, if the distance d between the two object increases, the intensity of the force decreases.

B; Decreases

Because,

The image illustrates that as the distance between two objects increases, the force of gravity decrease. The strength of gravity is affected by the distance between two objects as well as their masses

A wheel is rotating freely at angular speed 660 rev/min on a shaft whose rotational inertia is negligible. A second wheel, initi
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

(a)  110 rev/ min

(b) 5/6

Explanation:

As per the conservation of linear momentum,

L ( initial ) = L ( final )

I' ω' = ( I' + I'' ) ωf

I' is the rotational inertia of first wheel and I'' is the rotational inertia of second wheel which is at rest.

(a)

So,    ωf = I' ω' /  ( I' + I'' )

As I'' = 5I'

ωf = I' ω' /  ( I' + 5I' )

ωf = ω'/ 6

now we know ω' = 660 rev /  min

therefore    ωf = 660/6

                       = 110 rev/ min

(b)

Initial kinetic energy will be K'

K' = I'ω'² / 2

and final K.E. will be   K'' =  ( I' + I'' )ωf² / 2

                                   K'' = ( I' + 5I' ) (ω'/ 6)²/ 2

                                   K'' = 6I' ω'²/72

                                   K'' = I' ω'²/ 12

therefore the fraction lost is

                ΔK/K' = ( K' - K'' ) / K'

                           =  {( I'ω'² / 2) - (I' ω'²/ 12)} / ( I'ω'² / 2)

                            = 5/6

Ifa truck starts from rest and it has acceleration of 4 m/s for 5 second
yan [13]

Answer:

Distance 50m

final velocity 20ms^-1

s = ut +  \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2}  \\  = 0 \times t +  \frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times  {5}^{2}   = 50m

v = u + at \\ v = 0 + 4 \times 5 \\ v = 20ms^{ - 1}

A snowball is rolling down a hill at 4.5 m/s and accumulating snow as it goes. Its diameter begins at 0.50 m and ends at the bot
Reil [10]
To find the change in centripetal acceleration, you should first look for the centripetal acceleration at the top of the hill and at the bottom of the hill.

The formula for centripetal acceleration is:
Centripetal Acceleration = v squared divided by r

where:
v = velocity, m/s
r= radium, m

assuming the velocity does not change:

at the top of the hill:
centripetal acceleration = (4.5 m/s^2) divided by 0.25 m
                                      = 81 m/s^2

at the bottom of the hill:
centripetal acceleration = (4.5 m/s^2) divided by 1.25 m
                                      = 16.2 m/s^2

to find the change in centripetal acceleration, take the difference of the two.
change in centripetal acceleration = centripetal acceleration at the top of the hill - centripetal acceleration at the bottom of the hill

= 81 m/s^2 - 16.2 m/s^2
= 64.8 m/s^2 or 65 m/s^2

arlik [135]

Answer: 22 batches.

Explanation:

Given that 11 kg is a familiar weight for a bag of flour. Also, it is given that It takes 500 g of flour to make one batch of cookies.

How many batches of cookies can you make with one bag of flour

Let's first convert 11 kg into grams (g) by multiplying it by 1000

11 × 1000 = 11000 g

Divide 11000 by 500

11000/500 = 22

Therefore, 22 batches of cookies can be made with one bag of flour.
