What effect would decreasing the distance between objects have on their gravitational attraction to each other?

Lady_Fox [76]

Decreasing the distance between two objects having a considerable mass would increase the attraction on gravitation. The reverse is true that if you separate or inrease the objects distance would substantially decrease their gravitational attraction. Most object in our planet is held by its gravitational force towards it's center.

Your cell phone typically consumes about 390 mW of power when you text a friend. If the phone is operated using a lithium-ion ba

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

I = 0.11 A

Explanation:

In an electric circuit, the power delivered to a load, is just the product of the potential difference between the load terminals, times the current flowing through it, as follows:

$P = V*I$

In this case, the power is the one consumed by the cell phone = 390 mW, and the voltage the one produced by the internal energy of the battery, 3.5 V, neglecting the voltage loss at the internal resistance of the battery.
So, we can solve the above equation for the current I, as follows:

$I = \frac{P}{V} = \frac{0.39W}{3.5V} = 0.11 A$

The current flowing through the cell-phone circuitry is 0.11 A.

kompoz [17]

Answer:

4.44s

Explanation:

A 34-kg child on an 18-kg swing set swings back and forth through small angles. If the length of the very light supporting cables for the swing is 4.9 m, how long does it take for each complete back-and-forth swing? Assume that the child and swing set are very small compared to the length of the cables

since the mass of the child and that of the swing is negligible, the masses wont be involved in the calculation

T=2π√L/g

g=acceleration due to gravity which is 9.81m/s2

the length of the supporting cable is 4.9m

T the period

period is the time required to make a complete oscillation

T=2*π√4.9/9.81

T=2*π*0.706

T=4.44s
