Would it be true that if you double the distance of an astronaut from a planet, the gravitational pull between them would be hal

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Newton's law of universal gravitation is usually stated that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses(m1 and m2) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers(r).

F = Gm1m2/r²

This is a general physical law derived from

empirical observations by what Isaac Newton called inductive reasoning.

when distance is doubled the gravitational force will be reduced by quarter not half.

Yes, that would be the case, because the gravity is pulling you towards the planet, so doubling the the distance cuts the gravitational pull between them in half.

Draw a picture of an atom.include protons,neutrons, and electrons.
gogolik [260]
Hey, unfortunately it’s impossible for me to draw one for you here, but you should be able to draw it yourself pretty easily!

Answer:


An atom is built with a combination of three distinct particles: electrons, protons, and neutrons. Each atom has a center nucleus, where the protons and neutrons are densely packed together. Surrounding the nucleus are a group of orbiting electrons. And here is a picture that may assist your further :

I dont get why its c i dont under the graph for the vertical component in option c
jek_recluse [69]
The vertical component grows at an increasing rate because
gravity is ACCELERATING the object vertically.  So its speed
keeps growing.  Speed is the slope of the displacement graph.
