gravitational force between two objects is given as

F = G m₁ m₂/r²

where m₁ = mass of first object , m₂ = mass of second object , r = distance between the two objects .

Initial case :

m₁ = m₂ = m

gravitational force between the objects is given as

F = G m²/r²

Final Case :

m₁ = m₂ = 3 m

new gravitational force between the objects is given as

F' = G (3m)²/r²

F' = 9 G m²/r²

F' = 9 F

hence the gravitational force between the two objects becomes 9 times.

The magnitude of a force vector is 89.6 newtons (N). The x component of this vector is directed along the +x axis and has a magn
insens350 [35]

Answer:

(a) θ = 33.86°

(b) Ay = 49.92 N

Explanation:

You have that the magnitude of a vector is A = 89.6 N

The x component of such a vector is Ax = 74.4 N

(a) To find the angle between the vector and the x axis you use the following formula for the calculation of the x component of a vector:

A_x=Acos\theta       (1)

Ax: x component of vector A

A: magnitude of vector A

θ: angle between vector A and the x axis

You solve the equation (1) for θ, by using the inverse of cosine function:

\theta=cos^{-1}(\frac{A_x}{A})=cos{-1}(\frac{74.4N}{89.6N})\\\\\theta=33.86\°

the angle between the A vector and the x axis is 33.86°

(b) The y component of the vector is given by:

A_y=Asin\theta\\\\A_y=(89.6N)sin(33.86\°)=49.92N

the y comonent of the vecor is Ay = 49.92 N

A car is traveling south is 200 kilometers from it’s starting point after 2 hours. What is the average velocity of the car
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

100

Explanation:

take note that v=d/t (velocity is distance over(divided by) time, so in this case it would be 200 (distance) divided by 2 (time) = 100

How does geomagnetism help scientist understand the motion of earth’s plates?
xeze [42]

Answer:

As the "plates" on each side of ridges in the seafloor are pulled away, lava comes up from the middle, hardens and "records" the current magnetic field.

A balloon full of air has more _____ than the same balloon with no air in it. A. mass (only) B. inertia (only) C. weight (only)
valina [46]

Answer:

A. Mass(only)

Explanation:

The correct answer is A because if the balloon is filled with air, it's filled with matter. Matter is anything that has space and occupies mass. The air occupies mass in the balloon but that doesn't mean that the balloon is heavier. People confuse themselves with mass and weight saying it means the same thing. Mass, like I said is the amount of matter an object contains whereas weight is how much an object weighs.
