The gravitational force between two objects increase as the mass increases or distance decreases

1 answer:

Naily [24]3 years ago

The correct answer is: True

Explanation:
According to Newton's Gravitational law:

$F_g = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}$

As you can see the gravitational force is directly proportional to the masses of the objects while inversely proportional to the square of distance (r^2) between them.

Hence, yes, your statement is true!

If the star Alpha Centauri were moved to a distance 10 times farther than it is now, its parallax angle would

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

B. get smaller

Explanation:

The parallax angle of a star measured with respect to the Earth is inversely proportional to the distance of the star from the Earth:

$\theta = \frac{1}{d}$

where

$\theta$ is the parallax angle, measured in arcsec

d is the distance between the star and the Earth, measured in parsec

Therefore, if the star Alpha Centauri is moved farther from Earth, then d increases, and therefore the parallax angle will get smaller.

You drive a car 640 m to the east, then 340 m to the north what is the magnitude of your displacement

mixer [17]

Magnitude of displacement = $\sqrt{640^2 + 340^2}$

Adding the squares gives displacement = $\sqrt{525,200}$

Displacement = $\sqrt{525,200}$ ≈ 724.7m
