<span>The distance between two objects is increased by three times the oringinal distance.  Since they were already separated by one time the original distance,
the additional three times the oringinal distance now puts them four times the original distance apart.

Whether we're talking about the gravitational forces of attraction or
the electrical forces of attraction, either one is inversely proportional
to the square of the distance between the objects. 

So changing the distance to four times the original distance causes
the forces to become 1/4</span>² as strong as they were originally. 

The forces become 1/16 of their original magnitude.<span>

A 2 kg object being pulled across the floor with a speed of 10 m/sec is suddenly
zvonat [6]

Answer:

The frictional force producing this deceleration would have a magnitude of 4\; \rm N.

Explanation:

The velocity of this object changed by \Delta v = (-10\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}) in \Delta t = 5\; \rm s. The acceleration of this object would be:

\begin{aligned}a &= \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} \\ &= \frac{-10\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}}{5\; \rm s} = -2\; \rm m\cdot s^{-2}\end{aligned}.

Let m denote the mass of this object. By Newton's Second Law of Motion, the net force on this object would be:

\begin{aligned}F &= m \, a \\ &= 2\; \rm kg \times (-2\; \rm m\cdot s^{-2}) \\ &= -4\; \rm N\end{aligned}.

(1\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-2} = 1\; {\rm N}.)

If the floor is level, friction would be the only unbalanced force on this object. Thus, the magnitude of the frictional force on this object would also be 4\; {\rm N}, same as the magnitude of the net force on this object.

Light shines through a single slit whose width is 5.6 × 10-4 m. A diffraction pattern is formed on a flat screen located 4.0 m a
Mrac [35]

Answer:

462 nm

Explanation:

Given: width of the slit, d = 5.6 × 10⁻⁴ m

Distance of the screen, D = 4.0 m

Fringe width, β = 3.3 mm = 3.3 × 10⁻³ m

First dark fringe means n =1

Wavelength of the light, λ = ?

\beta = \frac{\lambda D}{d}\\ \Rightarrow \lambda = \frac{d \beta}{D} =\frac{5.6\times 10^{-4} \times 3.3 \times 10^{-3}}{4.0} = 4.62 \times 10^{-7}m = 462 nm

In a longitudinal wave, the particles of matter in the medium vibrate by pushing together and moving apart. In a transverse wave
Lilit [14]

Answer:

C. The particles in longitudinal waves travel parallel to the direction of the wave, whereas the particles in transverse waves travel perpendicular to the direction of the wave.

Explanation:

Longitudinal waves are waves that propagates energy from their source by movement of particles in a direction parallel to the wave motion.

Transverse waves produce oscillations that are perpendicular to the direction of propagation.

  • Examples of longitudinal waves are sound waves, seismic p-waves
  • Examples of transverse waves are electromagnetic waves

A wave is a disturbance that transmits energy from one point to another.
