The answer is A. Decreasing the distance between the particles by a factor of 3.
The Universal Law of Gravitation is :
F = Gm₁m₂ / r² (where 'r' is the distance between them)
Since force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them, distance has to be decreased by a factor of 3 to increase the force to 9 times the original force.
We can do this with the conservation of momentum. The fact it is elastic means no KE is lost so we don't have to worry about the loss due to sound energy etc.
Firstly, let's calculate the momentum of both objects using p=mv:
Object 1:
p = 0.75 x 8.5 = 6.375 kgm/s
Object 2 (we will make this one negative as it is travelling in the opposite direction):
p = 0.65 x -(7.2) = -4.68 kgm/s
Based on this we know that the momentum is going to be in the direction of object one, and will be 6.375-4.68=1.695 kgm/s
Substituting this into p=mv again:
1.695 = (0.75+0.65) x v
Note I assume here the objects stick together, it doesn't specify - it should!
1.695 = 1.4v
v=1.695/1.4 = 1.2 m/s to the right (to 2sf)
Explanation:
The eardrum vibrates from the incoming sound waves and sends these vibrations to three tiny bones in the middle ear. These bones are called the malleus, incus, and stapes.
Answer:
A)
B)
Explanation:
Given that
Force = F
Increase in Kinetic energy = 

we know that
Work done by all the forces =change in the kinetic energy
a)
Lets distance = d
We know work done by force F
W= F .d
F.d=ΔKE


b)
If the force become twice
F' = 2 F
F'.d=ΔKE'
2 F .d = ΔKE' ( F.d =Δ KE)
2ΔKE = ΔKE'

Therefore the final kinetic energy will become the twice if the force become twice.
