Answer:

C

Mass is directly proportional to the Force of Gravity. If Mass increases, then the Force of Gravity increases; however, Distance is indirectly (or inversely) proportional to the Force of Gravity. If Distance increases, then the Force of Gravity decreases.

Explanation:

The formula for the force of gravity between two objects is

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{d^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects

d is the separation between the two objects

We notice the  following:

- F is directly proportional to the masses, F\propto m_1, m_2. This means that if one of the masses increases, then the force between them, F, increases in a proportional way

- F is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, F\propto \frac{1}{d^2}. This means that if the distance between the two objects is increased, the force between them will decrease, and vice-versa.

So, the correct answer is

C

Mass is directly proportional to the Force of Gravity. If Mass increases, then the Force of Gravity increases; however, Distance is indirectly (or inversely) proportional to the Force of Gravity. If Distance increases, then the Force of Gravity decreases.

Answer:

C. Mass is directly proportional to the Force of Gravity. If Mass increases, then the Force of Gravity increases; however, Distance is indirectly (or inversely) proportional to the Force of Gravity. If Distance increases, then the Force of Gravity decreases.

Explanation:

According to the Newton's law of gravitation which states that, the force between between masses is directly proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Mathematically,

F ∝ Mm and F ∝ 1/d²

Where M and m are the masses

d is the distance between the masses

F = GMm and F = 1/d²

Since gravitational force is directly proportional to the masses, this means an INCREASE in the masses leads to INCREASE in gravitational force between them and vice versa.

Similarly, since the gravitational force is inversely proportional to the distance between them, this means that INCREASE in the distance leads to DECREASE in the gravitational force between them.

What does the slope of the curve on a distance vs time graph represent?
Lilit [14]

Slope of a curve Y plotted against X is mathematically given as

slope = \frac{dy}{dx}

now here we can see that if similarly graph is plotted against distance and time then slope is given as

slope = \frac{dx}{dt}

here we can say that above is ratio of small distance and very small interval of time.

so here we can say that this ratio of distance and time for very small interval of time is known as instantaneous speed of the object which is falling freely under gravity.

So here slope of the graph will represent the speed at a given instant.

A football field lies so one endzone is to the east and one is to the west. A running back gets the ball and starts running 20o
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

( 80.87 i - 12.96 j ) m

Explanation:

Running back movements :

20⁰ north of east  for  10 meters,  

Runs straight east for 60 meters

runs 35⁰ east of south for 20 meters

A) show vector pointing from the starting point to the end ( where he scored )

The final vector displacement : ( 80.87 i - 12.96 j ) m

which is : 81.90 m, 9.10⁰ south of east

attached below is the required  diagram
