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.

solmaris [256]

Answer:

4.384 * 10^13

Explanation:

Given the expression :

[(6.67 * 10^-11) * (1.99 * 10^30)] ÷ [(1.74*10^3)*(1.74*10^3)]

Applying the laws of indices

[(6.67 * 1.99) *10^(-11 + 30)] ÷ [(1.74 * 1.74) * 10^3+3]

13.2733 * 10^19 ÷ 3.0276 * 10^6

(13.2733 / 3.0276) * 10^(19 - 6)

4.3840996 * 10^13

= 4.384 * 10^13

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

D. 24 lb

Explanation:

Tina has been dieting for 13 weeks

First week she lost 3 pounds

Next week she gained 1 pound and did not lose any. This will be subtracted as she has gained a pound

The remaining 11 weeks she lost 2 pounds per week

Weight lost in the 11 weeks = 11×2 =22 pounds

Total weight lost

3-1+22 = 24 lb

Tina has lost 24 pounds in total during the 13 weeks

A 100-n force has a horizontal component of 80 n and a vertical component of 60 n. the force is applied to a box which rests on
iragen [17]
<span>160 Joules

   For this problem, we can ignore the vertical component of the applied force and focus on only the horizontal component of 80 N and since work is defined as force over distance, let's multiply the force by the distance: 80 N * 2.0 m = 160 Nm = 160 kg*m^2/s^2 = 160 Joules.

   So the cart has a final kinetic energy of 160 Joules.</span>
