It weakened the gravitational force between the oblects.

This is from Newton's Laws of Gravitation. If the distance is increased by a factor of three the force is decreased by a factor of 9. (i.e. you would this equation in this situation: F = 1/d^2, "d" being distance). 

There we go, lol. I hope this helps! ♥

A 60-W, 120-V light bulb and a 200-W, 120-V light bulb are connected in series across a 240-V line. Assume that the resistance o

A. 0.77 A

Using the relationship:

P=\frac{V^2}{R}

where P is the power, V is the voltage, and R the resistance, we can find the resistance of each bulb.

For the first light bulb, P = 60 W and V = 120 V, so the resistance is

R_1=\frac{V^2}{P}=\frac{(120 V)^2}{60 W}=240 \Omega

For the second light bulb, P = 200 W and V = 120 V, so the resistance is

R_1=\frac{V^2}{P}=\frac{(120 V)^2}{200 W}=72 \Omega

The two light bulbs are connected in series, so their equivalent resistance is

R=R_1 + R_2 = 240 \Omega + 72 \Omega =312 \Omega

The two light bulbs are connected to a voltage of

V  = 240 V

So we can find the current through the two bulbs by using Ohm's law:

I=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{240 V}{312 \Omega}=0.77 A

B. 142.3 W

The power dissipated in the first bulb is given by:

P_1=I^2 R_1

where

I = 0.77 A is the current

R_1 = 240 \Omega is the resistance of the bulb

Substituting numbers, we get

P_1 = (0.77 A)^2 (240 \Omega)=142.3 W

C. 42.7 W

The power dissipated in the second bulb is given by:

P_2=I^2 R_2

where

I = 0.77 A is the current

R_2 = 72 \Omega is the resistance of the bulb

Substituting numbers, we get

P_2 = (0.77 A)^2 (72 \Omega)=42.7 W

D. The 60-W bulb burns out very quickly

The power dissipated by the resistance of each light bulb is equal to:

P=\frac{E}{t}

where

E is the amount of energy dissipated

t is the time interval

From part B and C we see that the 60 W bulb dissipates more power (142.3 W) than the 200-W bulb (42.7 W). This means that the first bulb dissipates energy faster than the second bulb, so it also burns out faster.

Sonja [21]
If I remember correctly (from my studies long time ago) the layers are from the outer to the center:
SiAl : Silicon-Aluminum
SiMa : Silicon-Magnesium (although should be Mg)
NiFe : Nickel-Iron

The SiMa layer should have the lightest elements (Magnesium is lighter than Aluminum)
