What change will always result in an increase in gravitational force between two objects

The gravitational force between two object depends on their masses and on their distance.

Since the formula is

$F = G\frac{m_1m_2}{d^2}$

If the masses grow, the force also grows. But I'm assuming the two objects are fixed, so you can't enlarge their mass.

So, the only option remaining is to lower their distance: since it sits at the denominator, a smaller value of d results in a bigger value for F.

So, if you reduce the distance between two objects, the gravitational force between them will always result in an increase

A traffic light of weight 100 N is supported by two ropes that make 30-degree angle with the horizontal. What is the vertical co

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

$T_{vertical} = 50 N$

Explanation:

given,

traffic light weight = 100 N

angle at which the rope is supported = 30°

vertical component of force = ?

$2 T sin \theta= W$

$2 T sin 30^0= 100$

$T = \dfrac{100}{2 sin 30^0}$

$T = 100\ N$

$T_{vertical} = T sin 30^0$

$T_{vertical} = 100\times \dfrac{1}{2}$

$T_{vertical} = 50 N$

Two hockey pucks, labeled A and B, are initially at rest on a smooth ice surface and are separated by a distance of 18.0 m . Sim

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

The distance covered by puck A before collision is $z = 8.56 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The label on the two hockey pucks is A and B

The distance between the two hockey pucks is D 18.0 m

The speed of puck A is $v_A = 3.90 \ m/s$

The speed of puck B is $v_B = 4.30 \ m/s$

The distance covered by puck A is mathematically represented as

$z = v_A * t$

=> $t = \frac{z}{v_A}$

The distance covered by puck B is mathematically represented as

$18 - z = v_B * t$

=> $t = \frac{18 - z}{v_B}$

Since the time take before collision is the same

$\frac{18 - z}{V_B} = \frac{z}{v_A}$

substituting values

$\frac{18 -z }{4.3} = \frac{z}{3.90}$

=> $70.2 - 3.90 z = 4.3 z$

=> $z = 8.56 \ m$

Why will a delivery truck filled with birds sitting on its floor be heavier than a truck with the same birds flying around insid

34kurt

The reason why a delivery truck filled with birds sitting on the floor be heavier than a truck with the same birds flying around is because when the birds are sitting on the floor, they are adding their weight to the truck.

Meanwhile, if the birds are flying around they aren't resting on the truck or touching it, so therefore their weight wouldn't be added to the truck.

The mass of the truck will remain the same as you cannot change the mass but the weight will vary depending on the items and objects placed in it.
