Answer:

Decreased by a factor of 4.5

Explanation:

"We have Newton formula for attraction force between 2 objects with mass and a distance between them:

F_G = G\frac{M_1M_2}{R^2}

where G =6.67408 × 10^{-11} m^3/kgs^2 is the gravitational constant on Earth. M_1, M_2 are the masses of the object and Earth itself. and R distance between, or the Earth radius.

So when R is tripled and mass is doubled, we have the following ratio of the new gravity over the old ones:

\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{G\frac{M_1M_2}{R^2}}{G\frac{M_1m_2}{r^2}}

\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{\frac{M_2}{R^2}}{\frac{m_2}{r^2}}

\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{M_2}{R^2}\frac{r^2}{m_2}

\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{M_2}{m_2}(\frac{r}{R})^2

Since M_2 = 2m_2 and r = R/3

\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{2}{3^2} = 2/9 = 1/4.5

So gravity would have been decreased by a factor of 4.5

Two in-phase loudspeakers that emit sound with the same frequency are placed along a wall and are separated by a distance of 5.0
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

f = 421.8 Hz

Explanation:

When she moved a distance of 1 m from mid point she observe first destructive interference due to two speakers

so we can say that path difference of sound due to two speakers will be equal to half of the wavelength

so path difference is given as

\Delta L = {3.5^2 + 12^2}^{0.5} - {1.5^2 + 12^2}^{0.5}

so it will be

\Delta L = 12.5 - 12.093

\Delta L = 0.4066

now we know that

\frac{\lambda}{2} = 0.4066

\lambda = 0.813

now frequency of sound is given as

f = \frac{v}{\lambda}

f = \frac{343}{0.813}

f = 421.8 Hz

PLZ EXPLAIN IM SO CONFUSED AND THIS IS DUE TONIGHT. I WILL GIVE 50 POINTS!
bezimeni [28]

When you first pull back on the pendulum, and when you pull it back really high the Potential Energy is high and the Kinetic Energy is low, But when up let go, and it gets right around the middle, that's when the Potential energy transfers to Kinetic, at that point the kinetic Energy is high and the potential Energy is low. But when it comes back up at the end. The same thing will happen, the Potential Energy is high, and the Kinetic Energy is low. Through all of that the Mechanical Energy stays the same. 

I hope this helps. :)

If the distance between two masses is tripled, the gravitational force between changes by a factor of
maw [93]

A. 1/9

Explanation:

The gravitational force between two objects is given by

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

m1 and m2 are the two masses

r is the distance between the two masses

From the formula, we see that the magnitude of the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance: therefore, if the distance is tripled (increased by a factor 3), the magnitude of the force changes by a factor

\frac{1}{r^2}=\frac{1}{3^2}=\frac{1}{9}
