Answer:

one third

Explanation:

F = 2000 N

Initially, masses are m1 and m2 and the distance between the two masses be r.

Now, the masses are changed.

m1' = m1 / 3, m2' = m2 / 3

Let the new distance between the two masses is r'.

F = G m1 x m2 / r^2  ..... (1)

F = G m1' x m2' / r'^2

F = G (m1/3) (m2/3) / r'^2

Substitute the value of F from equation (1)

G m1 x m2 / r^2 = G m1 x m2 / 9 r'^2

By solving we get

r' = r /3

Thus, the distance between them is also one third.

Why are the parts of an atom that electrons occupy called electron clouds?
Anna [14]

Because it's literally impossible to tell exactly where something that size is
located at any particular time.

And that's NOT because it's so small that we can't see it.  It's because any
material object behaves as if it's made of waves, and the smaller the object is,
the more the size of its waves get to be like the same size as the object. 
When you get down to things the size of subatomic particles, it doesn't make
sense any more to try and talk about where the particle actually "is", and we only
talk about the waves that define it, and how the waves all combine to become a
cloud of <em><u>probability</u></em> of where the particle is.

I know it sounds weird.  But that's the way it is.  Sorry.

What is the wavelength of a 2.50-kilohertz sound
Alexxx [7]
The formula v=fλ can be used here.

326=2500*λ

Note the 2500 as 2.5kHz is 2.5 thousand Hz.

λ = 326/2500
= 0.1304m = 0.130m
