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 !

A farm tractor tows a 3300-kg trailer up a 14" incline with a steady speed of 2.8 m/s. what force does the tractor exert on the
gladu [14]

The force exerted by gravity is:

F = m g

F = 3300 kg * 9.8 m/s^2

F = 32,430 N

 

The force exerted due to the inclined plane is:

F tractor = 32,430 N * sin 14

You are pulling your little sister on her sled across an icy (frictionless) surface. When you exert a constant horizontal force
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Mass of Little Sister = 44.17 kg

Explanation:

From Newton's second law of motion, the magnitude of force applied on the sled is given by the following formula:

F = ma

where,

F = Force Applied = 120 N

a = Acceleration = 2.3 m/s²

m = Mass of Sled + Mass of Little Sister = 8 kg + Mass of Little Sister

Therefore,

120 N = (2.3 m/s²)(8 kg + Mass of Little Sister)

(120 N)/(2.3 m/s²) = 8 kg + Mass of Little Sister

Mass of Little Sister = 52.17 kg - 8 kg

<u>Mass of Little Sister = 44.17 kg</u>
