Two small objects, with masses m and m, are originally a distance r apart, and the gravitational force on each one has magnitude

f. the second object has its mass changed to 2m, and the distance is changed to r/4. what is the magnitude of the new gravitational force?

32f. That's because the force is directly proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance. So you get 2•(1/1/4)^2=2•16=32

Answer:

New gravitational force, F' = 32 F

Explanation:

The gravitational force acting on two objects that are separated by a distance r between them is given by :

F=G\dfrac{mM}{r^2}

m is the mass of object 1

M is the mass of object 2

Now, the second object has its mass changed to 2m, and distance is changed to r/4. So, the gravitational force becomes :

F'=G\dfrac{m\times 2M}{(r/4)^2}

F'=32\times \dfrac{GmM}{r^2}

F'=32\times F

So, the magnitude of the new gravitational force is 32 times the previous force. Hence, this is the required solution.

Why can we never prove that a hypothesis is true?
erma4kov [3.2K]
A theorem can be proven (from axioms or prior theorems), using logic.

A hypothesis can be supported by evidence. The more evidence in support of the hypothesis, the more likely the hypothesis is to be correct. However, you’re always at the mercy of contrary evidence appearing in the future, to reduce the likelihood or even invalidate a hypothesis.

A (mathematical) proof suffers no such vulnerability to future evidence, as long as you hold the axioms of the theory to be true, and as long as there was no flaw in the construction of the proof.

In science, a broad idea that has been repeatedly verified so as to give scientists great confidence that it represents reality
Colt1911 [192]

In science, a broad idea that has been repeatedly verified so as to give scientists great confidence that it represents reality is called "a theory".

<u>Explanation:</u>

In science, the interpretation of a feature of the organic world that can be tested in repeat manner and analysed by applying agreed tests validation methods, calculation and observation in according to the scientific method, such process is called as a theory in science.

The difference lie between a theory and a hypothesis. Because hypothesis is an "educated guess". Overall it is either a proposed interpretation of an observed phenomenon, or a logical inference of a possible causal association between several phenomena.

If 20 beats are produced within one second, which of the following frequencies could possibly be held by two sound waves traveli
NeTakaya

Answer:

D. 22 Hz and 42 Hz

Explanation:

  • When two waves with different frequency travelling in the same medium meet each other, they produce an interference pattern called beat.
  • <em><u>The frequency of the beat produced is equivalent to </u></em><em><u>the difference between the individual frequencies of the two waves involved.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Therefore; in this case since the frequency of the beat is 20 Hz, that is from 20 beats per second.</u></em>
  • We need to find a pair from the choices whose frequency difference is 20 Hz.
  • This happens to be choice D. 22 Hz and 42 Hz,  that is 42 Hz - 22 Hz = 20 Hz
