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.

Fofino [41]

Answer:

A box of donuts would cost: b = 3.84 + 0.18f

First, we have to find the total cost of the donuts.

12 x 0.32 = 3.84

Next, we need to determine the cost of the box. However, we don't know the surface area, just the cost per foot. We can multiply the number of square feet of the box by $0.18 to find the cost.

So our equation could be:  b = 3.84 + 0.18f (where f is the surface area of the box in square feet)Explanation:

How much kinetic energy does a proton gain if it is accelerated, with no friction, through a potential difference of 1.00 V? The
ra1l [238]

Answer:

If energy is conserved, then the sum of the potential energy and the kinetic energy is a constant.

Assuming the proton starts from rest, so it's kineitc energy is zero, but it has a potential energy, PE equal to:

PE = qV

where q =1.6 x 10^-19 C

and V = 1.00 V

Assuming the proton no longer experiences the potential energy and it is all converted to kinetic energy then:

PE* = 0,

KE* = 1/(2mv^2)

Now since

PE + KE = Total energy =PE* + KE*

Therefore,

qV + 0 = 0 + 1/2mv^2

Or

KE = qV = 1.6 10^-19 J

Determine the amount of torque
malfutka [58]

Answer:

250Nm

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Length of the long pry bar  = 1m

Force acting on it  = 250N

Angle  = 90°

Unknown:

Amount of torque applied  = ?

Solution:

Torque is the turning force on a body that causes the rotation of the body.

The formula is given as:

 Torque  = Force x r Sin Ф  

r is the distance

 So;

   Torque  = 250 x 1 x sin 90  = 250Nm
