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! ♥

Suppose a rectangular piece of aluminum has a length D, and its square cross section has the dimensions W XW, where D (W x W) to
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

R₂ / R₁ = D / L

Explanation:

The resistance of a metal is

        R = ρ L / A

Where ρ is the resistivity of aluminum, L is the length of the resistance and A its cross section

We apply this formal to both configurations

Small face measurements (W W)

The length is

         L = W

Area  

         A = W W = W²

        R₁ = ρ W / W² = ρ / W

Large face measurements (D L)

       Length L = D= 2W

       Area     A = W L

     R₂ = ρ D / WL = ρ 2W / W L = 2 ρ/L

The relationship is

    R₂ / R₁ = 2W²/L

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change for which characteristic?
Alenkasestr [34]

1) C. velocity

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity per unit time. In formulas:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

where

\Delta v is the change in velocity

\Delta t is the time interval

Therefore, the correct answer is C. velocity.


2) A. 9.8m/s/s

Earth's gravity is a force, so it produces an acceleration on every object with mass located on the Earth's surface. This acceleration can be calculated, as it is given by the formula

g=\frac{GM}{r^2}

where

G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2} is the gravitational constant

M=5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg is the Earth's mass

r=6.37\cdot 10^6 m is the Earth's radius

By substituting these numbers into the formula, one can find that the acceleration due to Earth's gravity is g=9.81 m/s^2.

a catcher "gives" with the ball when he catches a 0.196 kg baseball moving at 31 m/s. if he moves his glove a distance of 5.32 c
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

3540.5N

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

mass m= 0.196kg

speed  v= 31m/s

distance r= 5.32cm = 0.0532m

Step two

The expression relating force, mass, velocity and distance is

F= mv^2/r

substitute we have

F=0.196*31^2/0.0532

F=0.196*961/0.0532

F=188.356/0.0532

F=3540.5N

An electromagnetic wave has a frequency of 1.0 x 10^5. What is the wavelength of the wave?
SashulF [63]

Answer:

The frequency , speed and wavelength of an electromagnetic wave are related by the formula

Speed = frequency x wavelength

frequency = speed / wavelength

substituting the values

frequency = 3 x #10 ^8# m /s / 1 x #10^15# m

= 3 x #10^-7# /s

Which state or states of matter take(s) the shape of its container? A) gas B) solid C) liquid D) liquid and gas
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

D) liquid and gas

Explanation:

The three main states of matter are:

- Solid: in solids, the molecules are bond together by strong intermolecular forces, so the molecules are not free to move. Therefore, a solid has a definite shape, so it does not take the shape of its container.

- Liquid: in liquids, molecules are not bond together, so they are free to move (still, there are some weak intermolecular forces which keep them close to each other). Since in liquids molecules can slide past each other, they take the shape of the container.

- Gas: in gases, molecules are totally free to move, so gases take the shape (and also the volume) of the container.

Based on the definitions above, we can conclude that the correct answer is

D) liquid and gas
