Benjamin Banneker did this in 1792. Hope this helps
Answer:
F-ma
Explanation:
If you are speaking of objects like satellites, etc. then their mass is much less than that of the Earth. A good approximation is Newton's first law of motion:
Force
=
Mass × Acceleration
often written:
F
=
m
a
The gravitational force is the same between the Earth and the object - only the mass differs. So the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass.
Explanation:
Fgravity = G*(mass1*mass2)/D².
G is the gravitational constant, which has the same value throughout our universe.
D is the distance between the objects.
so, if you triple one of the masses, what does that do to our equation ?
Fgravitynew = G*(3*mass1*mass2)/D²
due to the commutative property of multiplication
Fgravitynew = 3* G*(mass1*mass2)/D² = 3* Fgravity
so, the right answer is 3×12 = 36 units.
The magnitude of your displacement can be equal to the distance you covered, or it can be less than the distance you covered. But it can never be greater than the distance you covered.
This is because displacement is a straight line, whereas distance can be a straight line, a squiggly line, a zig-zag line, a line with loops in it, a line with a bunch of back-and-forths in it, or any other kind of line.
The straight line is always the shortest path between two points.
