Answer:

Force due to gravity increases on increasing the masses and decreases on decreasing the masses.

Explanation:

The force due to gravity (<em>F</em>) acting between any two given bodies can be expressed as,

$F = G\frac{m_{1} m_{2}}{r^{2}}$

Here,

G = gravitational constant

$m_{1}$ = mass of the first body

$m_{2}$ = mass of the second body

$r =$ separation between the bodies

It is clear from the above expression that the force due to gravity acting between the two bodies is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the bodies.

The strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on two factors, mass and distance. the force of gravity the masses exert on each other. If one of the masses is doubled, the force of gravity between the objects is doubled. increases, the force of gravity decreases.

A boat takes off from a dock at 2.5 m/s and speeds up at 4.2 m/s squared for six seconds how far has the most traveled

GaryK [48]

The boat's position $x$ relative to its starting point $x_0=0$ is determined by

$x=x_0+v_0t+\dfrac12at^2$

where $v_0$ is its initial velocity, $a$ is its acceleration, and $t$ is time. After $t=6\,\mathrm s$ , the boat has traveled

$x=\left(2.5\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)(6\,\mathrm s)+\dfrac12\left(4.2\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(6\,\mathrm s)^2$

$\implies x=91\,\mathrm m$

Two waiters are trying to get through a single door of a kitchen. One pushes on one side of a door 0.567 m from the hinge with a

NISA [10]

Answer:

$275.5 N$

Explanation:

$F_{1}$ = Force on one side of the door by first waiter = 257 N

$F_{2}$ = Force on other side of the door by second waiter

$r_{1}$ = distance of first force by first waiter from hinge = 0.567 m

$r_{2}$ = distance of second force by second waiter from hinge = 0.529 m

Since the door does not move. hence the door is in equilibrium

Using equilibrium of torque by force applied by each waiter

$r_{1} F_{1} = r_{2} F_{2} \\(0.567) (257) = (0.529) F_{2}\\F_{2} = 275.5 N$

A thin layer of liquid methylene iodide (n = 1.756) is sandwiched between two flat, parallel plates of glass (n = 1.50). What mu

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

t = 96.1 nm

Explanation:

For strong reflection through liquid layer we know that the path difference between two reflected light rays must be integral multiple of wavelength

now we know that the path difference of two reflected light from thin liquid layer is given as

$2\mu t - \frac{\lambda}{2} = N\lambda$

here we know that

$\mu = 1.756$

t = thickness of layer

N = 0 (for minimum thickness of layer)

$\lambda = 675 nm$

now we have

$2(1.756) t = \frac{675 nm}{2}$

$t = 96.1 nm$
