Answer:

-Reduce the mass of the earth to one-fourth its normal value.

-Reduce the mass of the sun to one-fourth its normal value.

-Reduce the mass of the earth to one-half its normal value and the mass of the sun to one-half its normal value.

Explanation:

The force (F) between two massive bodies (earth-sun system) is given by the following equation:

F=\frac{g*M_{e}*M_{s}}{r^{2}}

Where "g" is the gravitational constant "Me" is Earth's mass, "Ms" is the Sun's mass and "r" is the separation between the Earth and the Sun.

1-) If we reduce the mass of the earth to one-fourth its normal value:

F^{*} =\frac{g*\frac{M_{e}}{4} *M_{s}}{r^{2}}\\F^{*} =\frac{g*{M_{e}} *M_{s}}{4r^{2}}\\F^{*} =\frac{F}{4}

2-) Reduce the mass of the sun to one-fourth its normal value.

F^{*} =\frac{g*\frac{M_{s}}{4} *M_{e}}{r^{2}}\\F^{*} =\frac{g*{M_{s}} *M_{e}}{4r^{2}}\\F^{*} =\frac{F}{4}

3-) Reduce the mass of the earth to one-half its normal value and the mass of the sun to one-half its normal value.

F^{*} =\frac{g*\frac{M_{s}}{2}*\frac{M_{e} }{2}}{r^{2}}\\F^{*} =\frac{g*{M_{s}} *M_{e}}{(2*2)r^{2}}\\F^{*} =\frac{F}{4}

4-) Increase the separation between the earth and the sun to four times its normal value.

F^{*}=\frac{g*M_{e}*M_{s}}{(4r)^{2}}\\F^{*}=\frac{g*M_{e}*M_{s}}{16r^{2}}\\F^{*}=\frac{F }{16}\\.

Therefore, changes 1, 2 and 3 would reduce the magnitude of the force between them to one-fourth of the original value.

We can see Objects because of
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

I believe it's A.)

Explanation:

Although light comes into our atmosphere through refraction, it reaches our eyes only through reflection from objects. So when light rays reflect off an object and enter the eyes through the cornea you can then see that object.

Hope this helps you out : )

How much power is needed to lift the 200-N object to a height of 10 m in 4 s?
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

500 watts

Explanation:

Recall that the definition of power is the amount of energy delivered per unit of time.

In our case, the energy delivered is potential energy which we can estimate as the product of the weight of the object times the distance it is lifted above ground:

200 N x 10 m = 2000  Nm

then the power is the quotient of this potential energy divided the time it took to lift the object to that position:

Power = 2000 / 4   Nm/s = 500 Nm/s = 500 watts
