A 1400 kg wrecking ball hangs from a 20-m-long cable. the ball is pulled back until the cable makes an angle of 30.0 ∘ with the
anastassius [24]

From the geometry of the problem, the 20 m-long cable creates the hypotenuse of a right triangle, with the extended of the other two sides of size 20 m * cos(30 deg), which is around 17.3 m. Therefore, the ball has increased by 20 m - 17.3 m = 2.7 m. 

The potential energy will have altered by m*g*h, which is 1400 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 1.6 m , or about 37044 joules.

Suppose Earth orbited a star whose mass was double the mass of the sun. If the radius of Earth’s orbit remained the same as it i
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

Two times as much

Explanation:

The equation for gravitational force is: Fg = GMm/r^2 with G being the universal gravitational constant.

So to make things easier we'll set r equal to 1 since it's a constant as well as G.

Then we're left with Fg=Mm with M being the mass of the sun and m being the mass of the earth.

So if m is constant and supposedly equals 1 then Fg=M so Fg is proportional to M therefore if M doubles then Fg doubles.
