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.

A boat moves through the water of a river at 10m/s relative to the water, regardless of the boat ‘s direction . If the water in
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

The appropriate solution is "61.37 s".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Boat moves,

= 10 m/s

Water flowing,

= 1.50 m/s

Displacement,

d = 300 m

Now,

The boat is travelling,

= 10+1.50

= 11.5 \ m/s

Travelling such distance for 300 m will be:

⇒ v = \frac{d}{t} \ sot \ t

      =\frac{d}{v}

On putting the values, we get

      =\frac{300}{11.5}

      =26.08 \ s

Throughout the opposite direction, when the boat seems to be travelling then,

= 10-1.50

= 8.5 \ m/s

Travelling such distance for 300 m will be:

⇒ v=\frac{v}{t} \ sot \ t

      =\frac{d}{v}

On putting the values, we get

      =\frac{300}{8.5}

      =35.29 \ s

hence,

The time taken by the boat will be:

= 26.08+35.29

= 61.37 \ s

An applied force of 50 N is used to accelerate an object, that weighs 73 N, to the right across a frictional surface. The object
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

5.38 m/s^2

Explanation:

NET force causing the object to accelerate  =  50 -10 = 40 N

Mass of the object =  73 N / 9.81 m/s^2 = 7.44 kg

F = ma

40 = 7.44 * a         a = 5.38 m/s^2

A bus took 8 hours to travel 639 km. For the first 5 hours, it
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

93 km/h

Explanation:

Given that a bus took 8 hours to travel 639 km. For the first 5 hours, it travelled at an average speed of 72 km/h

Let the first 5 hours journey distance = F

From the formula of speed,

Speed = distance/time

Substitute speed and time

72 = F/5

F = 72 × 5 = 360 km

The remaining distance will be:

639 - 360 = 279km

The remaining time will be:

8 - 5 = 3 hours

Speed = 279/3

Speed = 93 km/h

Therefore, the average speed for the remaining time of the journey is equal to 93 km/h

Two particles are moving along the x axis. Particle 1 has a mass m₁ and a velocity v₁ = +4.7 m/s. Particle 2 has a mass m₂ and a
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

m₁ / m₂ = 1.3

Explanation:

We can work this problem with the moment, the system is formed by the two particles

The moment is conserved, to simulate the system the particles initially move with a moment and suppose a shock where the particular that, without speed, this determines that if you center, you should be stationary, which creates a moment equal to zero

    p₀o = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

    pf = 0

    m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂ = 0

    m₁ / m₂ = -v₂ / v₁

    m₁ / m₂=  - (-6.2) / 4.7

     m₁ / m₂ = 1.3

Another way to solve this exercise is to use the mass center relationship

    Xcm = 1/M    (m₁ x₁ + m₂ x₂)

We derive from time

   Vcm = 1/M   (m₁ v₁ + m₂v₂)

As they say the velocity of the center of zero masses

    0 = 1/M   (m₁ v₁ + m₂v₂)

   m₁ v₁ + m₂v₂ = 0

    m₁ / m₂ = -v₂ / v₁

   m₁ / m₂ = 1.3
