Answer:
The force becomes 16 times what it is now.
Explanation:
The formula for gravitational force is
F = G * m1 * m2 / r^2
When you do what you have described, you are setting a stage that not even the USS Enterprise (Star Trek) can get out of. The increase is huge.
If you double m1 and m2 and don't do anything to r, you've already increased the force by 4 times. (2m1 * 2m2 = 4 * m1 * m2)
But you are not finished. If you 1/2 the distance, you are again increasing the Force by 4 times. 1 / (2r) ^2 = 1/ 4* r^2
Because this is in the denominator, the 1/4 is going to flip to the numerator.
So the total increase is going to be 4 * (4 * m1 * m2) = 16 * m1 * m2.
Think about what that means. If you were out golfing, your drives would be roughly 1/16 times as far as they are now. Also you would be lugging around 16 times your weight around the golf course. My feeling is that you would never finish 5 holes at that rate.
Answer:
2) zero acceleration
Explanation:
Motion can be defined as a change in the location (position) of a physical object or body with respect to a reference point.
This ultimately implies that, motion would occur as a result of a change in location (position) of an object with respect to a reference point or frame of reference i.e where it was standing before the effect of an external force.
Mathematically, the motion of an object is described in terms of time, distance, speed, velocity, position, displacement, acceleration, etc.
In physics, acceleration can be defined as the rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time.
Generally, an object is said to be in equilibrium when neither the energy possessed by the object not state of motion changes with respect to time. Thus, the vector sum of all the forces acting upon an object that's in equilibrium is zero.
In conclusion, an essential characteristic of an object in equilibrium is zero (0) acceleration because there's no change in its velocity with respect to time.
