What do you think would happen to the force if the distance is cut in half and each of the masses is also cut in half

The formula for the force of gravity has  ( M₁ · M₂ / D² )  in it.

After the changes, the new force will have  ( 0.5M₁ · 0.5M₂ / (0.5D)² ) .

We can separate the new numbers from the original force, like this:

                         ( 0.5M₁ · 0.5M₂ / (0.5D)² ) 

                     =  ( 0.5 · 0.5 / (0.5)² ) times ( M₁ · M₂ / D² )

The first factor boils down to ' 1 '.  So, those changes would
leave the strength of the force unchanged.

That's what I think.

Challenge! A marshmallow is dropped from a 5-meter high pedestrian bridge and 0.83 seconds later, it lands right on the head of
WINSTONCH [101]

a₀).  You know ...
         -- the object is dropped from 5 meters
             above the pavement;
         --  it falls for 0.83 second.

a₁).  Without being told, you assume ...
         -- there is no air anyplace where the marshmallow travels,
             so it free-falls, with no air resistance;
         -- the event is happening on Earth,
            where the acceleration of gravity is  9.81 m/s² .

b).  You need to find how much LESS than 5 meters
       the marshmallow falls in 0.83 second.
    
c).  You can use whatever equations you like.
       I'm going to use the equation for the distance an object falls in
       ' T ' seconds, in a place where the acceleration of gravity is ' G '.

d).  To see how this all goes together for the solution, keep reading:


The distance that an object falls in ' T ' seconds
when it's dropped from rest is

                                 (1/2 G) x (T²) .

On Earth, ' G ' is roughly  9.81 m/s², so in 0.83 seconds,
such an object would fall

                               (9.81 / 2) x (0.83)² = 3.38 meters .

It dropped from 5 meters above the pavement, but it
only fell 3.38 meters before something stopped it.
So it must have hit something that was

                         (5.00 - 3.38)  =  1.62 meters

above the pavement.  That's where the head of the unsuspecting
person was as he innocently walked by and got clobbered.

A large ball of Play-Doh with a mass of 0.04kg is launched from a catapult with an initial
ryzh [129]

Answer:

  ≈ 6.68 m/s

Explanation:

A suitable formula is ...

  vf^2 -vi^2 = 2ad

where vi and vf are the initial and final velocities, a is the acceleration, and d is the distance covered.

We note that if the initial launch direction is upward, the velocity of the ball when it comes back to its initial position is the same speed, but in the downward direction. Hence the problem is no different than if the ball were initially launched downward.

Then ...

  vf = √(2ad +vi^2) = √(2·9.8 m/s^2·1.0 m+(5 m/s)^2) = √44.6 m/s

  vf ≈ 6.68 m/s

The ball hits the ground with a speed of about 6.68 meters per second.

__

We assume the launch direction is either up or down.

I need to know what a-e is. Please and thank you!

The different types of energy transfers are convection, conduction, and radiation. 
I'm not too sure on the second one but thermodynamics relates thermal energy, kinetic energy, and potential energy. I'm basing this on the formulas of the laws of thermodynamics, but it could also be temperature, heat, or work.

A man pushed a cabinet with a force of 200N. What is the mass of the cabinet that accelerates 4 m/s/s?​
ELEN [110]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 50 \ kg}}

Explanation:

We are asked to find the mass of a cabinet, given the force and acceleration. According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, force is the product of mass and acceleration. The formula for this is:

F= m \times a

The force is 200 Newtons, but we should convert the units to make unit cancellation easier. 1 Newton is equal to 1 kilogram meter per second squared, so the force of 200 Newtons is 200 kilogram meters per second squared.

The mass is unknown and the acceleration is 4 meters per second per second or 4 meters per second squared.

  • F= 200 kg*m/s²
  • a= 4 m/s²

Substitute the values into the formula.

200 \ kg *m/s^2 = m \times 4 \ m/s^2

We are solving for the mass, m, so we must isolate the variable. It is being multiplied by 4 meters per second squared. The inverse operation of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 4 m/s²

\frac {200 \ kg *m/s^2}{4 \ m/s^2}= \frac{m \times 4\ m/s^2}{4 \ m/s^2}

\frac {200 \ kg *m/s^2}{4 \ m/s^2} =m

The units of meters per second squared cancel.

\frac {200 \ kg }{4 }=m

50 \ kg =m

The mass of the cabinet is <u>50 kilograms.</u>
