If the distance between the center of two objects is quadrupled. The gravitational
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

F' = F/16

Explanation:

The gravitational force between masses is given by :

F=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{r^2}

If the distance between the center of two objects is quadrupled, r' = 4r

New force will be :

F'=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{r'^2}\\\\F'=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{(4r)^2}\\\\F'=\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{16r^2}\\\\F'=\dfrac{1}{16}\times \dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}\\\\F'=\dfrac{F}{16}

So, the new force will change by a factor of 16.

Do the rock layers from the various locations that you investigated record evidence of an asteroid impact on Earth? Make a CLAIM
KiRa [710]

Answer:

Drilling into the seafloor off Mexico, scientists have extracted a unique geologic record of the single worst day in the history of life on Earth, when a city-sized asteroid smashed into the planet 65 million years ago, wiping out the dinosaurs and three-quarters of all other life.

Their analysis of these new rock samples from the Chicxulub crater, made public Monday, reveals a parfait of debris deposited in layers almost minute-by-minute at the heart of the impact during the first day of a global catastrophe. It records traces of the explosive melting, massive earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides and wildfires as the immense asteroid blasted a hole 100 miles wide and 12 miles deep, the scientists said.
