Gravitational force is given by the following formula:

F = GMm/r^2
Where;
F = Gravitational force, G = Gravitational constant, M & m = masses of two bodies which are constant in this case, and r = distance between the masses.

It can be seen that F α 1/r^2.
Therefore, the far the two masses are from each other, the smaller the gravitational force and vice versa.
It is indicated that:
AB = 300 km
BC = 400 km
CA = 100 km

Therefore,
gravitational force will largest between C and A due to smaller distance between them.<span />

Define what is energy and work​
Mashutka [201]

The work-energy principle states that an increase in the kinetic energy of a rigid body is caused by an equal amount of positive work done on the body by the resultant force acting on that body. Conversely, a decrease in kinetic energy is caused by an equal amount of negative work done by the resultant force.

if you jump from a window that is 2 meters up you will most likely break the bones in your legs when you land however on a tramp
Gemiola [76]
<span>The de-acceleration or negative acceleration of stopping is what damages bones. The ground is rigid and therefore the change in momentum when striking the ground will be large. On the trampoline, the elasticity of the material means that the momentum changes more slowly, resulting in smaller accelerations.</span>

Answer:

9)a

10) I think true

11)b

Explanation:

9)a. because it's told that the car is slowing down, the sum of the forces that are towards left, should be more than the ones that are towards right. if the car was gaining speed, "b" would have been correct. and if it was told that the car is moving without a change in the speed, "c" would have been correct.

10) if a moving object has a change of speed or direction, it would have an acceleration. now if a moving object experiences an unbalanced force, it'd either slow down, gain speed or change direction, and in all of the three possibilities it'd have an acceleration.

11) upward and downward forces are equal, and the sum of them would be 0N(because they have opposite directions). so they negate each other.

and the rightward force is 5N more than the leftward force. so the Net Force would be 5N.

-30+30-10+15=5N

if it is unclear or you need more explanation, ask freely.
