The force of gravity decreases as the ___ between the masses increases

Physics
1 answer:
masya89 [10]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

distance

Explanation:

F=GmM/r^2

if r increases in this equation, F would decrease

for example if r = 1 and increase to 2,

when r = 1, F = GmM

when r = 2 F = GmM/4

GmM < GmM/4

so when r increases F decreases

What is the best inference for the speed of the car after 3 seconds
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

B. 17m/s

Explanation:

This question contains a graph that illustrates the relationship between the speed of a car over time. The graph shows that one can make an inference of the amount of time it takes for the car to cover a particular speed and vice versa.

In this case, after 3 seconds, the speed of the car will be 17 m/s. This inference was got by tracing the position of 3s in the x-axis to the value on the y-axis. Doing this, the best inference for the speed of the car after 3 seconds is 17m/s.

Find the weight of an astronaut whose mass is 75 kg on the moon
gladu [14]
The formula for weight is always weight=mass X gravitational field strength.
We already know the mass is 75kg.
The gravitational field strength on the moon is 1.6N. To find out the weight, we can substitute these values in to the formula.
Weight=75 X 1.6
Weight= 120N
Weight is measured on Neutons as it is a force.

What is the centripetal force that would be required to keep a 4.0 kg mass moving in a horizontal circle with a radius of 0.80 m
KIM [24]

Answer:

D. 1.8 × 102 newtons radially inward

Explanation:

The magnitude of the centripetal force is given by:

F=m\frac{v^2}{r}

where

m is the mass of the object

v is the tangential speed

r is the radius of the circular trajector

In this problem, we have m = 4.0 kg, v = 6.0 m/s and r = 0.80 m, therefore substituting into the equation we get

F=(4.0 kg)\frac{(6.0 m/s)^2}{0.80 m}=180 N

The centripetal force is the force that keeps the object in a circular trajectory, so it is a force that is always directed inward (towards the centre of the circular path) and radially. Therefore, the correct answer is

D. 1.8 × 102 newtons radially inward

If the velocity of gas molecules is doubled, then it’s kinetic energy will?( hint formula for kinetic energy is KE=.5 x mv2)
eduard

Answer:

D quadruple

Explanation:

E = \frac{1}{2}mv^2\\E'=\frac{1}{2}m(2v)^2=\frac{1}{2}m4 v^2 = 4(\frac{1}{2}mv^2)=4E
