According to Newton's gravitational law, the magnitude of the gravitational force is:

F=-G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}

In this case, we have: m_1'=2m_1,m_2'=2m_2, r'=4r

Therefore, replacing this values and solving for F' in function of F:

F'=-G\frac{m_1'm_2'}{r'^2}\\F'=-G\frac{2m_1(2m_2)}{(4r)^2}\\F'=-G\frac{4m_1m_2}{16r^2}\\F'=\frac{1}{4}(-G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2})\\F'=\frac{1}{4}F

<h2>Answer:</h2>

\frac{1}{4} F

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Newton's law of gravitation states that the force, F, that exists between the two objects of masses m₁ and m₂ is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance, r, between the bodies. i.e

F ∝ (m₁m₂ / r²)

F = Gm₁m₂/r²           ------------------(i)

Where;

G = proportionality constant called the gravitational constant.

Now, when the masses are changed to 2m₁ and 2m₂, and the distance is changed to 4r, then according to equation (i) the new force (say F₂) becomes;

F₂ = G (2m₁)(2m₂) / (4r)²

F₂ = 4Gm₁m₂ / 16r²

F₂ = Gm₁m₂ / 4r²

F₂ = \frac{1}{4} Gm₁m₂/r²     -------------------------(ii)

Comparing equations (i) and (ii), equation (ii) can be re-written as;

F₂ = \frac{1}{4} F

Therefore, the magnitude of the new gravitational force is a quarter of the old gravitational force, F. i.e   \frac{1}{4} F

tamaranim1 [39]
In this item, we are given with the x-component of the velocity. The y-component is equal to 0 m/s. The time it takes for it to reach the volume can be related through the equation,

   d = V₀t + 0.5gt²

Substituting the known values,

  225 = (0 m/s)(t) + (0.5)(9.8)(t²)

Simplifying,
 
   t = 6.776 s

To determine the distance of the student from the edge of the building, we multiply the x-component by the calculated time.


   range = (12.5 m/s)(6.776 s)

   range = 84.7 m

<em>Answer: 84.7 m</em>

Determine the COP. for this thermodynamic refrigerator
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The efficiency of a refrigerator is defined in the terms of coefficient of performance (COP).

The ratio of amount of heat in cold reservoir to the work done is termed as the COP.

COP = QL / W

COP = T2 / (T1 - T2)

Where, T1 be the temperature of hot reservoir, T2 be the temperature of cold reservoir.
