Answer:

Drop by a factor of 64

Explanation:

By Newtons law of gravity,

F=\frac{Gm₁m₂}{r^{2} } where;

G = Universal gravitaional constant

r = distance between center of gravities of two objects

m₁,m₂ = masses of thee objects.

F = Gravitational force.

m = \frac{4}{3}π r³ρ  (mass = volume into density.

So when radius is halved, mass drops by a factor of 8,

m' = \frac{4}{3}π (r/2)³ρ

     = \frac{1}{6}π r³ρ

So in substitution to the equation,

F'=\frac{G(m₁/8)(m₂/8)}{r^{2} }

F' = F/64

A 1.5m long string weighs 0.0020 kg. It is tensioned to 100N. A disturbance travels along it with a wavelength of 1.5m, find:a)
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

the propagation velocity of the wave is 274.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

length of the string, L = 1.5 m

mass of the string, m = 0.002 kg

Tension of the string, T = 100 N

wavelength, λ = 1.5 m

The propagation velocity of the wave is calculated as;

v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } \\\\\mu \ is \ mass \ per \ unit \ length \ of \ the \ string\\\\\mu = \frac{0.002 \ kg}{1.5 \ m} = 0.00133 \ kg/m\\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{100}{0.00133} } \\\\v = 274.2 \ m/s

Therefore, the propagation velocity of the wave is 274.2 m/s

The stars, Rigel and Betelgeuse, are both found in the constellation, Orion. Rigel is a blue supergiant, and Betelgeuse is a red
sattari [20]

Answer: a

Explanation: The color of a star is linked to its surface temperature. The hotter the star, the shorter the wavelength of light it will emit. The hottest ones are blue or blue-white, which are shorter wavelengths of light. Cooler ones are red or red-brown, which are longer wavelengths.

e-lub [12.9K]

I do not understand the full question, however if you are wondering which way Simone and the dog will go, they will go right because the force of 34 N from the dog is higher than the force of 16 N from Simone.
