Gravitational force is given by, F= G\frac{mM}{R^{2}}

Where, m and M are the masses of the objects, R is the distance between them and G gravitational constant.

Gravitational force of the star on planet 1, F_{1}= G\frac{m_{1}M}{R^{2}}

Gravitational force of the star on planet 2, F_{2}= G\frac{3m_{1}M}{(3R)^{2}}

Ratio, \frac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}= \frac{\frac{Gm_{1}M}{R^{2}}}{\frac{G3m_{1}M}{(3R)^{2}}}

\frac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}=  \frac{3}{1}

Therefore, the gravitational force of the star on the planet 1 is three times that on planet 2.

The ratio of gravitational forces F₂ : F₁ = 1 : 3

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Newton's gravitational law states that the force of attraction between two objects can be formulated as follows:

\large {\boxed {F = G \frac{m_1 ~ m_2}{R^2}} }

<em>F = Gravitational Force ( Newton )</em>

<em>G = Gravitational Constant ( 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm² / kg² )</em>

<em>m = Object's Mass ( kg )</em>

<em>R = Distance Between Objects ( m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem !

\texttt{ }

<u>Given:</u>

Gravitational force on planet 1 = F₁

Gravitational force on planet 2 = F₂

mass of planet 1 = m₁

mass of planet 2 = m₂ = 3m₁

distance between planet 1 and star = R₁

distance between planet 2 and star = R₂ = 3R₁

<u>Asked:</u>

ratio of force = F₂ : F₁ = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

F_2 : F_1 = G \frac{ M m_2} { (R_2)^2 } : G \frac{ M m_1} { (R_1)^2 }

F_2 : F_1 = \frac{m_2} { (R_2)^2 } : \frac{ m_1} { (R_1)^2 }

F_2 : F_1 = \frac{3m_1} { (3R_1)^2 } : \frac{ m_1} { (R_1)^2 }

F_2 : F_1 = \frac{3} { 9 } : 1

F_2 : F_1 = \frac{1} { 3 } : 1

\boxed{F_2 : F_1 = 1 : 3}

La respuesta correcta para esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.

No incluyes opciones, incisos, o alguna referencia específica para responder esta pregunta.

De ahí que responderemos en términos generales basándonos en nuestro conocimiento previo.

El concepto cosmológico abarca todo lo relativo a la cosmología y, al unir este término con la metafísica sería posible una correcta asociación la cual sería benéfica para ambos campos de conocimiento porque de esta manera se estarían complementando y enriqueciendo el uno al otro.

Cuando la ciencia -en este caso, la cosmología- acepte los conceptos metafísico que no tienen un sustento científico pero que sí contemplan alternativas en el mundo espiritual que son aceptadas por una innumerable cantidad de personas, entonces los expertos podrán plantear nuevas y diferentes posibilidades de entender los fenómenos que al día de hoy, carecen de una convincente explicación.

Tanto la cosmología como la metafísica podrían mostrarse más receptivos a las aportaciones de una y la otra, con objeto de poder aumentar las posibilidades de comprender un fenómeno. No necesariamente debe haber una teoría científica para poder avanzar en el conocimiento de algún tema. De ahí que las aportaciones metafísicas sean válidas como una alternativa de investigación.

Prove that..<br>please help<br>​

\large{ \boxed{ \bf{ \color{red}{Universal \: law \: of \: gravitation}}}}

Every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force which is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The forces along the line joining the centre of the two objects.

❍ Let us consider two masses m1 and m2 line at a separation distance d. Let the force of attraction between the two objects be F.

According to universal law of gravitation,

\large{ \longrightarrow{ \rm{F \propto m_1 m_2}}}

Also,

\large{ \longrightarrow{ \rm{ F \propto  \dfrac{1}{ {d}^{2} } }}}

Combining both, We will get

\large{ \longrightarrow{ \rm{F  \propto  \dfrac{ m_1 m_2}{ {d}^{2}}}}}

Or, We can write it as,

\large{ \longrightarrow{ \rm{F  \propto  \:  G \dfrac{ m_1 m_2}{ {d}^{2} }}}}

Where, G is the constant of proportionality and it is called 'Universal Gravitational constant'.

☯️ Hence, derived !!

A 1.50-V battery supplies 0.414 W of power to a small flashlight. If the battery moves 4.93 1020 electrons between its terminals
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

2.86×10⁻¹⁸ seconds

Explanation:

Applying,

P = VI................ Equation 1

Where P = Power, V = Voltage, I = Current.

make I the subject of the equation

I = P/V................ Equation 2

From the question,

Given: P = 0.414 W, V = 1.50 V

Substitute into equation 2

I = 0.414/1.50

I = 0.276 A

Also,

Q = It............... Equation 3

Where Q = amount of charge, t = time

make t the subject of the equation

t = Q/I.................. Equation 4

From the question,

4.931020 electrons has a charge of (4.931020×1.6020×10⁻¹⁹) coulombs

Q = 7.899×10⁻¹⁹ C

Substitute these value into equation 4

t =  7.899×10⁻¹⁹/0.276

t = 2.86×10⁻¹⁸ seconds
