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.

*heat transfer energy, As it always flow from higher temperature to lower temperature till it reach the thermal equilibrium.

example: -friction.

- collisions.

- the hot cup which's hotter than your hand✋will transfer heat in your hand. and a cold piece of ice which's colder than your hand to causing the heat transfer out of your hand .

*temperature ️ depends on the move of particle and we have a different shape of motion like:

translational motion.

rotational motion.

vibrational motion.

when the temperature:

increases it has more kinetic energy and faster moving particles and the object expanded which known as (thermal expansion).

decreases it has less kinetic energy and slower moving particles.

As kinetic energy is 1/2 mV².

example: -the mercury in thermometers.

*Absolute zero :

The theoretical temperature at which substances possess no thermal energy, equal to 0 K, −273.15°C, or −459.67°F.

*specific heat "c" :

is essentially a measure of how thermally insensitive a substance is to the addition of energy.

c=Q/m∆T

where Q is energy .

note water has a higher specific heat, and lower temperature.

*conduction <em><u>example</u></em> When the stove is turned on, the skillet becomes very hot due to the conduction of heat from the burner to the skillet.

Amy has a mass of 30 kg, and she is riding a skateboard traveling 5 m/s. What is her momentum?
Flauer [41]
Hey there!

So we know that m*v=P.
And in this question m=30
v=5 m/s
P = 30*5 Kgm/s
P = 150 Kgm/s

So, your final answer is 150 Kg.m/s

Hope this helps! :)

contractor will use a package emulsion having a specific gravity of 1.25 and relative bulk strength of 130 to open an excavation
tester [92]

Answer:

The burden distance is 7 ft

Solution:

As per the question:

Specific gravity of package emulsion, SG_{E} = 1.25

Specific gravity of diabase rock, SG_{R} = 2.76

Diameter of the packaged sticks, d = 3 in

Now,

To calculate the first trail shot burden distance, B:

B = [\frac{2SG_{E}}{SG_{R}} + 1.5]\times d

B = [\frac{2\times 1.25}{2.76} + 1.5]\times 3 = 7.22

B = 7 ft
