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 !

Answer

Caloric flow

Explanation

Depending on the assimilated source of energy, a species population can occupy more than one tropic level. Energy flow in a linear manner in an ecosystem because it moves from level to another and the energy decreases as it transcend from one layer to the other.

Boyle's Law states that as the pressure on a gas increases at constant temperature the volume of the gas

Boyle’s law is P1V1 = P2V2. This shows that pressure and volume have an inverse relationship, so increase in pressure causes a decrease in volume. B is your answer

uppose that white light strikes a flat piece of flint glass in air, coming in at an angle of 60 degrees to the surface (30 degre
Elodia [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Snell's law for index of refraction of a medium is as follows .

sin i / sin r = μ

i is angle of incidence  , r is angle of refraction and μ is refractive index.

sin r = sin i / μ .

As μ for blue light is greatest , angle of refraction for blue light will be least . Similarly  , angle of refraction will be maximum for red light .

So maximum deviation in the direction of light will occur in blue light due to least angle of refraction because

deviation angle = angle of incidence - angle of refraction .

So the order of light from inward towards surface

= blue , green , red .
