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

A 5 kg ball rolling at 1.0 m/s hits a 15 kg ball at rest. The balls stick together after the collision What is the

Reika [66]

Answer:

0.25m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters

m₁ = 5kg

v₁ = 1.0m/s

m₂ = 15kg

v₂ = 0m/s

Unknown:

velocity after collision = ?

Solution:

Momentum before collision and after collision will be the same. For inelastic collision;

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

Insert parameters and solve for v;

5 x 1 + 15 x 0 = v (5 + 15 )

5 = 20v

v = $\frac{5}{20}$ = 0.25m/s

Which of the following phenomena are due to the electric interaction? (Select all that apply.) surface tension in water friction

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Surface tension in water

Friction between tires and pavement

Dissolution of salt in water

Explanation:

Surface tension in water: It is due to the electrostatic force of attraction (cohesive force) between water molecules.

Friction between tires and pavement: It is due to the attractive force between tires and pavement.

Dissolution of salt in water: The ions of $Na ^ +$ and $Cl ^ -$ separate due to the strong attraction of water molecules.

Do tides depend more on the strength of gravitational pull or on the difference in strengths? explain.

SSSSS [86.1K]

Tides are influenced by the force of gravity exerted by the earth, moon and the sun. The sun has a larger mass than the moon and as such has a greater gravitational pull on the earth. the moon however has greater influence over the tides because they are caused by the difference in gravity fields. This means that the moon is the dominant influence due to the fact that the fractional difference in its force across the earth is greater than that seen from the sun.
