I believe this is what you have to do:

The force between a mass M and a point mass m is represented by

F = G\frac{Mm}{r^{2} }

So lets compare it to the original force before it doubles, it would just be the exact formula so lets call that F₁

So F₁ = G(Mm/r^2)

Now the distance has doubled so lets account for this in F₂:

F₂ = G(Mm/(2r)^2)

Now square the 2 that gives you four and we can pull that out in front to give

F₂ = \frac{1}{4} G(Mm/r^2)

Now we can replace G(Mm/r^2) with F₁ as that is the value of the force before alterations

now we see that:

F₂ = \frac{1}{4} F₁

So the second force will be 0.25 (1/4) x 1600 or 400 N.

Serjik [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mass of ice m = 500g = .5 kg

Heat required to raise the temperature of ice by 10 degree

= mass of ice x specific heat of ice x change in temperature

= .5 x 2093 x 10 J

10465 J

Heat required to melt the ice

= mass of ice x latent heat

0.5 x 334 x 10³ J

167000 J

Heat required to raise its temperature to 18 degree

= mass x specific heat of water x rise in temperature

= .5 x 4182 x 18

=37638 J

Total heat

=10465 +167000+ 37638

=215103 J
