The gravitational force between two objects (mass1 = 10kg, mass2 = 6kg) is measured when the objects are 12 centimeters apart. I

f the distance between them is increased to 36 centimeters, how does the new gravitational attraction compare to the first one that was measured? A. The new gravitational force is 3 times larger than the old one B. The new gravitational force is 9 times larger than the old one C. The new gravitational force is 3 times smaller than the old one D. The new gravitational force is 9 times smaller than the old one

Since the new distance is 3 times the old distance,
the new force is (1/3²) = 1/9th of the old force.

That's kind-of Choice-D, but I really don't like the way choice-D is worded.
"9 times smaller" is really pretty meaningless.

On a distant planet, golf is just as popular as it is on earth. A golfer tees off and drives the ball 3.70 times as far as he wo
Margarita [4]

Answer:

a)H=84.87 m

b)R=565.27 m

Explanation:

Given that

Speed of ball on earth

U=41.2 m/s

θ=31°

We know that

Maximum height in projectile motion given as

h=\dfrac{U^2sin^2\theta }{2g}

h=\dfrac{41.2^2sin^231}{2\times 9.81}

h=22.94 m

Range in projectile motion given as

r=\dfrac{U^2sin2\theta }{g}

r=\dfrac{41.2^2sin62 }{g}

r=152.77 m

Given that on distance planet ball moves 3.7 times far more as on earth.

So on the distance planet

The maximum height ,H=3.7 h

H= 3.7 x 22.94

H=84.87 m

The range on distance planet

R=3.7 r

R=3.7 x 152.77 m

R=565.27 m

Alice kicks a 0.25 kg soccer ball with 0.5 N of force. What force does the ball exert on Alice’s foot as she kicks it
Lelechka [254]
You do not doubt it. The third Law of Newton really works. I would say it is the most reliable law of the Universe. Action and reaction. It is not subject to special conditions, it works always. If an object exerts a force over other object, the second object exerts a force of equal magnitude but in the opposed direction over the first.

So, the answer, undoubtedly, is that the ball exerts a force of 0.5 N over Alices's foot as she kicks it.

A solid cylinder with a radius of 10 cm and a mass of 3.0 kg is rotating about its center with anangular speed of 3.5 rad/s. Wha
Lynna [10]

Answer:

kE=0.0735 J

Explanation:

Given that

Radius ,R=10 cm = 0.1 m

Mass ,m= 3 kg

Angular speed ,ω = 3.5 rad/s

We know that moment of inertia for solid sphere given as

I=\dfrac{2}{5}mR^2

Kinetic energy

KE=\dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^2

Now by putting the values

KE=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{2}{5}mR^2\times \omega^2

KE=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{2}{5}\times 3\times 0.1^2\times 3.5^2\ J

kE=0.0735 J

Therefore the kinetic energy will be 0.0735 J

When two objects interact, the change in momentum of the first object is ______ the change in momentum of the second object.
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

A. Equal to and Opposite

Explanation:

           when there is no External force acting on the system of bodies then Net momentum of the system is Conserved .

        Given that there are 2 bodies

         Let  P₁ as first object's momentum

                  P₂ as second object's momentum.

                  Total Momentum =P₁ + P₂

           As there is no external force acying on the system

                 Change in the Total momentum is zero

so,

                  0 = Δ P₁ + ΔP₂

                   ΔP₂ = -ΔP₁

                   negative sign indicates opposite direction.

                       Both are of equal magnitude.

What is the number of wavelengths that pass a given point each second called?
denpristay [2]
Since waves are moving, we define frequency as the number of waves that pass a given point in a specified unit of time. The unit commonly used is Hertz which is the number of wave cycles that pass a point in one second.
