It is D, the distance between each object squared. We get this from solving for the force of gravity, which is
F = G((m1*m2)/(r^2)).
Here, you can see that the masses of the two objects are divided by their total distance apart from each other (r) squared.
Answer:
Explanation:
Mathematically, linear momentum is expressed as the product of mass and velocity. Linear momentum conservation law states that a body or system of bodies retains its total momentum unless an external force is applied to the system.
In this case, the system consists of two carts.
At the start, the linear momentum (P) of the system is equal to:

It's only composed of linear momentum of the standard cart because cart A doesn't have any linear momentum at that moment.
After the collision, linear momentum has to be the same

where m_A is the mass of the cart A.
Solving for m_A

After the cart A rebounds, the linea momentum of the system has changed (because of the force present in the rebound). The new linear momentum is:

Then, the lump of putty is added to the system, but the linear momentum has to be the same, because we added a mass, not a force. The mass of that putty (m_p) has to be added to the equation of the system

Solving for m_p

Answer:
Tangential speed = 5.72 m/s
Centripetal acceleration = 
Explanation:
The tangential speed, V, is given by

where
is the angular speed and is given by
(f is the angular frequency or frequency of rotation)
Thus,

The centripetal acceleration,a, is given by


Then they will most likely slow down unless they do high knees or something like that
