Answer:

D. the masses of the objects and the distance between them

Explanation:

Gravitation is a force, a force doesn't care about the shape or density of objects, only about their masses... and distances.

And you can get it using the following equation:

$f = \frac{Gm_{1}m_{2} }{d^{2} }$

Where :

G is the universal gravitational constant : G = 6.6726 x 10-11N-m2/kg2

m represent the mass of each of the two objects

d is the distance between the centers of the objects.

When energy is transferred to air, what happens to the particles of air? (1 point) They move slower. They move faster. They cool

zubka84 [21]

This question is a critical question. as we all know, when energy is added to any state of water, the particles move faster. and when energy is taken away from any state of water, the particles reduce speed. same with the particles of air. when energy is added; they move faster. when energy is removed; they move slower. so the answer is they move faster

Please HELP ME If the motion of an object changes, what must be true about the forces acting on that object?

atroni [7]

Answer:

If there is a net force acting on an object, the object will have an acceleration and the object's velocity will change. ... Newton's second law states that for a particular force, the acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

1. A rocket is forced forward by the ______ force of its engines, expelling gases out the rear of the rocket.

AURORKA [14]

There are two forces acting on a rocket at the moment of lift off: Thrust pushes the rocket upwards by pushing gases downwards in the opposite direction.Weight is the force due to gravity pulling the rocket downwards towards the centre of the earth.So I'm thinking the answer is THRUST.

What the planet after Venus

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Mercury and Venus are therefore closer to each other most of the time. But Earth is the planet closest to Venus. And that's why from here on Earth, Venus looks so big and luminous. Venus is the brightest thing in the night sky after the sun and the moon.

Liquid can flow but solid cannot give reason

Airida [17]

Answer:

well..

Explanation:

Liquid can flow but solid cannot because of differences in their properties

property of liquid which lets it flow:

inter-particular space is large
inter-particular attraction is small these properties tend to make the molecules of liquid free to flow

property of solid which tends to obstruct flow:

inter-particular space is small and so it's compact
inter-molecular attraction is strong hence no tendency to flow

Hope this helps!
