Answer:

1/9

Explanation:

<em>Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation </em>

Objects with mass feel an attractive force that is proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance.

F = GMm/r²

where  

F - the gravitatioal force in Newtons,  

M   and m  -two masses in kilograms  

r  - the separation in meters.  

G  - the gravitational constant (6.674*10 ⁻¹¹ N (m/kg) ² )

Because of the magnitude of  G , gravitational force is very small unless large masses are involved.

So according to above equation , when the masses are not changing , force is inversely propotional to the square of distance

F1 ∝ 1/r² ---------------(1)

F2 ∝ 1(3r)²

F2 ∝ 1/9r²--------------(2)

(2)/(1)

\frac{F_2}{F_1} =\frac{1}{9}\\ F_2 =\frac{F_1}{9}

From their you get as the distance tripled, Force reduce by a factor of 9(3³)

for example , assume the distance get doubled ,Force reduce by a factor of 4 (2²)

vlabodo [156]

This question involves the concepts of average speed, distance, and time.

The average speed of the family is "2.5 mi/hr".

<h3>AVERAGE SPEED</h3>

The average speed is defined as the ratio of the total distance covered with the total time taken to cover it.

v=\frac{s}{t}

where,

  • s = distance covered = 2.5 miles
  • t = total time taken = 1 hour
  • v = average speed = ?

Therefore,

v=\frac{2.5\ mi}{1\ hr}

v = 2.5 mi/hr

What is the formula of finding displacement​
xenn [34]
Displacement is the final position of the object minus the initial position of the object.
Xf - Xi. Displacement is not the distance of the object. If you go to the right 10m and to the left another 10m, your displacement is 0m. But your distance is 20m
