Object A attracts object B with a gravitational force of 10 Newton’s from a given distance. If the distance between the two obje

cts is doubled, what is the new force of an attraction between them?

If the distance between two objects is doubled, then the gravitational forces between them become (1/2)² = 1/4 of the original gravitational forces.

If the magnitude of those forces was 10 Newtons before the move then they're 2.5 Newtons after it.

I changed the wording of the discussion to plural, because the wording in the question is misleading.  It shouldn't say "Object A attracts Object B" and then let it go at that.  Gravitational forces ALWAYS occur in equal pairs.  If Object B feels a pull of 10 Newtons toward Object A, then Object A feels a pull of 10 Newtons toward Object B.  

The masses don't even matter.  Gravity is always there equally in both directions.  Your weight on Earth is equal to the Earth's weight on you !

Nikolay [14]

Apply Boyle's law:

PV = const.

P = pressure, V = volume, the product of P and V must stay constant

Our initial P and V values are:

P = 0.52atm, V = 5.7L

Our final P and V values are:

P = ?, V = 2.0L

Set the products of each set of PV values equal to each other and solve for the final P:

P(2.0) = 0.52(5.7)

P = 1.48atm

Unlike velocity, speed is scalar, which means it is described by only.
Andrew [12]

There are two qualities that can describe most variables - direction and magnitude. A vector possesses both a direction and magnitude, while a scalar possesses only a magnitude.

Hope this helps!

What property do the following elements have in common? Li, C, and F A) They are poor conductors of electricity. B) Each element
Aloiza [94]

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The given elements Li, C and F are all second period elements. So, when we move from left to right across a period then there occurs increase in number of valence electrons as there occurs increase in total number of electrons.

So, it means more electrons are added to the same energy level.

Thus, we can conclude that a property of valence electrons for each element is located in the same energy level is common in the given elements.

Sunlight appears white. However, rainbows, sunburn and the ability to see colors tell a different story.Explain what each of the
alexdok [17]
A) Sunlight basically consists of a combination of light of different wavelengths. Each of these wavelengths correspond to each of the colors of the rainbow. For example, red light has the longest wavelength. This is followed by orange, then yellow, green, blue and indigo. Violet has the shortest wavelength. These wavelengths (750 nm  to 400 nm) constitute the visible colors. All these light components of different wavelengths combine together to become the color white.

b) When this sunlight passes through droplets of rain, it gets refracted and that is what breaks up the white light into individual colors of the rainbow, just how light passing through a glass prism gets broken down into its individual seven colors.

c) Different objects have the ability to absorb different wavelengths of light. For example, glass absorbs light of all wavelengths except those between 560-520nm, which corresponds to green light. So it reflects the green light and thus, our eyes see  grass as green in color.

d) Light of wavelength below  400 nm (ultraviolet) and above 750nm (Infrared) are not visible. However, they exist in the sun's radiation. Ultraviolet rays are very harmful and responsible for causing sunburn and some types of skin tumors. Infrared light is also harmful and can cause premature wrinkling of skin.
