The forces of gravity between two objects are inversely proportional to
the square of the distance between them. So reducing the distance
by 1/2 means increasing the gravitational force by 2² = 4 times.
The 1 million newtons becomes 4 million newtons.
Note that this does NOT mean the satellite's altitude above the surface.
When you're calculating gravitational forces, it's the distance between
the centers of the objects. So the question is a meaningful exercise
only if we use the distance between the satellite and the planet's center.
Answer:
how quickly or slowly the object is moving

Answer:
B
Explanation:
Transformation of energy involves conversion of energy from one form to another for example our movement around involves the conversion of chemical energy stored in the food we eat to other forms of energy such as kinetic energy for the movement, electrical energy in the neurons for impulses and others
The ball posses gravitational potential energy since it is held at a displacement to the ground ( zero point) and when released, the gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy which leads to the fall of the ball until it is at zero displacement to the earth. The board likewise when bent to its maximum extent stored elastic potential energy as a result of the partial displacement of its constituent particle provided it is not stretch beyond its elastic limit which can lead to deformation of the board and the elastic potential energy lost.
