What will keep the gravitational force between two objects unchanged?

The gravitational force between two objects is determined by

-- the product of their masses, and

-- the distance between their centers.

If you want to keep the gravitational force between two objects unchanged, then you can make changes to the mass of one object, the mass of the other object, and the distance between them, BUT you have to be very careful to always keep the quantity

(one mass) x (the other mass) / (the distance)²

the same, unchanged number. This means that if you change one thing, you'll have to change something else to keep that expression constant.

For example: If one of the masses suddenly somehow becomes 4 times as great, then you can EITHER change the other mass to 1/4 of its original mass, OR move the two objects twice as far apart.

This graph indicates that the kinetic energy of an object is increasing. What is the most reasonable explanation for this observ

B) The object's velocity doubled.

Explanation:

The graph is missing: find it in attachment.

The kinetic energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its motion. It is calculated as

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

m is the mass of the object

v is the velocity of the object

We notice that:

The kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass
The kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the velocity

In the graph, one of the two quantities (either mass or speed) is represented on the x-axis, while the quantity on the y-axis is the kinetic energy.

First of all, we notice that the relationship is not linear: this means that the quantity on the x-axis cannot be the mass, so it must be the velocity.

Moreover, we notice that when the quantity on the x-axis increases from 1 to 2 (so, it doubles), the kinetic energy increases by a factor of 4. This means that the object's velocity has doubled, therefore

B) The object's velocity doubled.

Un vas plin cu lichid cântăreşte 175kg. Ceea ce reprezintă de 5 ori masa vasului gol. Ştiind că volumul interior al vasului este

Mariana [72]

a) Density of the liquid: $823.5kg/m^3$

b) Weight of the liquid: 1372 N

Explanation:

Translation of the text:

"A full tank with liquid weighs 175kg. Which is 5 times the mass of the empty vessel. Knowing that the inside volume of the vessel is 0.17kl, calculate:

a) the density of the liquid;

b) the weight of the liquid."

We know that the full tank with liquid has a total mass of M = 175 kg. We can write the total mass as

$M=m_L + m_V$ (1)

where

$m_L$ is the mass of the liquid

$m_V$ is the mass of the vessel

We also know that the total mass M is 5 times the mass of the empty vessel, so we have:

$M=5m_V\\m_V=\frac{M}{5}=\frac{175}{5}=35 kg$

which is the mass of the empty vessel.

Therefore, we can find the mass of the liquid only using (1):

$m_L=M-m_V=175-35=140 kg$

The density of the liquid is given by

$d=\frac{m}{V}$

where

m = 140 kg (mass of the liquid)

V = 0.170 kL = 170 L = $0.170 m^3$ (volume of the liquid, which is equal to the volume of the vessel)

So we get

$d=\frac{140}{0.170}=823.5kg/m^3$

The weight of a body is given by

$F=mg$

where

m is its mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity

For the liquid in this problem, we have

m = 140 kg (mass)

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ (acceleration due to gravity)

Therefore, its weight is

$F=(140)(9.8)=1372 N$

A rocket weighs 9800N (opposing force) what is it mass? What netforce moves the rocket? What applied force gives it a vertical a

Slav-nsk [51]

For the first part of this question, consider that "weight" can be described as mass x acceleration of gravity. Weight is expressed in Newtons. To solve for mass in this case, simply divide 9800N by 9.8m/s^2 (Earth's gravitational acceleration). This will give you a mass of 1000 kg. This mass is moved due to the net force supplied by the normal force from the rocket "pushing" off of Earth.

For the second part, we will use the equation F = ma, which is Newton's second law. For this, we know the m, or mass, is 1000 kg. Also, we know the a, or acceleration, will be 4 m/s^2. To solve for force, we will multiply both of these values. This gives a force of 4000 N. I hope this clears things up!

This question is based on the fundamental assumption of vector direction.

A vector is a physical quantity which has magnitude as well direction for its complete specification.

The magnitude of a physical quantity is simply a numerical number .Hence it can not be negative.

A negative vector is a vector which comes into existence when it is opposite to our assumed direction with respect to any other vector. For instance, the vector is taken positive if it is along + X axis and negative if it is along - X axis.

As per the first option it is given that a vector is negative if its magnitude is greater than 1. It is not correct as magnitude play no role in it.

The second option tells that the magnitude of the vector is less than 1. Magnitude can not be negative. So this is also wrong.

Third one tells that a vector is negative if its displacement is along north. It does not give any detail information about the negativity of a vector.

In a general sense we assume that vertically downward motion is negative and vertically upward is positive. In case of a falling object the motion is vertically downward. So the velocity of that object is negative .

So last option is partially correct as the vector can be negative depending on our choice of co-ordinate system.
