The equation for gravitational force is:

F = GMm/r^2

Where G is a constant, M is the mass of the larger object, m is the mass of the other object, and r is the distance between the two objects.

So:

1600 = GMm/r^2

Now we can find the force when the distance doubles:

F = GMm/(2r)^2

GMm will remain the same since G is a constant and the masses didn't change, so the only difference between this and the first calculation is the denominator.

By simplifying the denominator, we find:

F = GMm/(4r^2)

Now we can see that the only difference between this and the equation given the original distance is that we are dividing by 4. This means that the force will be one fourth of the original force:

1600/4 = 400

The answer is 400.

Keaton is asked to solve the following physics problem:
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

The answer is C "think about the problem first, systematically consider all factors, and form a hypothesis"

Explanation:

In physics there is some basic fomula that sir Isacc Newton proposed under the topic of motion. The three formulas are below;

<em>1) v=u+at</em>

<em>2)v^2=u^2+2as</em>

<em>3)s=ut+(1/2)(at^2)</em>

the variables are explained below;

u= initial velocity of the body

a=acceleration/Speed of the body

t= time taken by the body while travelling

s= displacement of the body.

Therefore to solve keatons problem, the factors(variables) in the formulas above need to be systematically considered. Since the ball was dropped from the top of the building, the initial velocity is 0 because the body was at rest. Also the acceleration will be acceleration due to gravity (9.8m/s^2)

What is the value of work done on an object when a 70 newton force moves it 9.0 meters in the same direction as the force
olchik [2.2K]
<span>Work, very simply, equals force times distance (when the force and distance are in the same direction. otherwise you get a little bit of trig added on) \[W=F*\Delta x\] W=70N * 9.0 m = 630 Nm = 630 J</span>
