Convection currents occur in the magma drive plate tectonics. Here heat is generated from the radioactive decay of elements in the  interior of  the Earth, creating magma in the asthenosphere.

Two objects have a force of gravity of 100 N. If the distance between both objects decreases by a factor of 7, while the masses
Shkiper50 [21]

The gravitational force <em>F</em> between two masses <em>M</em> and <em>m</em> a distance <em>r</em> apart is

<em>F</em> = <em>G M m</em> / <em>r</em> ²

Decrease the distance by a factor of 7 by replacing <em>r</em> with <em>r</em> / 7, and decrease both masses by a factor of 8 by replacing <em>M</em> and <em>m</em> with <em>M</em> / 8 and <em>m</em> / 8, respectively. Then the new force <em>F*</em> is

<em>F*</em> = <em>G </em>(<em>M</em> / 8) (<em>m</em> / 8) / (<em>r</em> / 7)²

<em>F*</em> = (1/64 × <em>G M m</em>) / (1/49 × <em>r</em> ²)

<em>F*</em> = 49/64 × <em>G M m</em> / <em>r</em> ²

In other words, the new force is scaled down by a factor of 49/64 ≈ 0.7656, so the new force has magnitude approx. 76.56 N.

Answer:

A) 1568.60 Hz

B) 1437.15 Hz

Explanation:

This change is frequency happens due to doppler effect

The Doppler effect is the change in frequency of a wave in relation to an observer who is moving relative to the wave source

f_(observed)=\frac{(c+-V_r)}{(C+-V_s)} *f_(emmited)\\

where

C = the propagation speed of waves in the medium;

Vr= is the speed of the receiver relative to the medium,(added to C, if the receiver is moving towards the source, subtracted if the receiver is moving away from the source;

Vs= the speed of the source relative to the medium, added to C, if the source is moving away from the receiver, subtracted if the source is moving towards the receiver.

A) Here the Source is moving towards the receiver(C-Vs)

and the receiver is standing still (Vr=0) therefore the observed frequency should get higher

f_(observed)=\frac{C}{C-V_s} *f_(emmited)\\=\frac{343}{343-15}*1500\\ =1568.60 Hz

B)Here the Source is moving away the receiver(C+Vs)

and the receiver is still not moving (Vr=0) therefore the observed frequency should be lesser

f_(observed)=\frac{C}{C+V_s} *f_(emmited)\\=\frac{343}{343+15}*1500\\ =1437.15 Hz

Select the statement that best describes gravity.
pav-90 [236]

Explanation:

Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects. It depends upon the mass of the objects and the distance between the objects. Mathematically, the force of gravity is given by :

F=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{d^2}

Where

G is the universal gravitational constant

m_1\ and\ m_2 are masses

d is the distance between two masses

So, statement (2) describes gravity "Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects; it is dependent upon the mass of the objects and the distance between the objects".
