The force of gravity, F, exerted between two objects is equal to the product of the gravitational constant, G, the mass of the f

irst object, m1, and the mass of the second object, m2, divided by the square of the distance between their centers,
d. This is often used to determine the gravitational attraction between two massive bodies, such as planets, in space.
a. Write the formula for F described in the situation above.

The formula that you have accurately described in words
is written as

          <em>F</em>  =  G  m₁m₂/<em>R</em>²

This is Newton's law of universal gravitation.  It gives the exact force
between any two masses in the universe, whether they're two planets,
a black hole and a comet, or a blade of grass in Canada and a hair on
the tail of a camel in Qatar.

That's not all this formula tells.  If you know enough geometry and calculus,
and you know how to use them to give the formula a good massage,  then
Newton's equation for gravity shows why there are orbits, why the orbits of
planets are shaped as they are, why all objects on the same planet fall to the
ground at the same speed, how to put up a satellite that can be used for TV,
and why comets, moons, TV satellites, and planets take the time that they take
to orbit whatever body they're orbiting.

The circumference of a circle is 29.83 cm. What are the radius and diameter, respectively? Use 3.14 for pi.
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Diameter: 9.5

Radius: 4.75

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the diameter you divide the circumference by pi(3.14) and to find radius you divide the diameter by 2 since the radius is half of the diameter.

Hope this helps you

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

It will take at least 15 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

12w+31 ≥ 205

Subtract 31 from each side

12w+31-31 ≥ 205-31

12w ≥ 174

Divide each side by 12

12w/12 ≥ 174/12

w ≥ 14.5

Rounding up to the nearest integer

w ≥ 15

It will take at least 15 weeks
