Answer: A- It would increase

Explanation:

According to the law of universal gravitation:

$F=G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}$

Where:

$F$ is the module of the attraction force exerted between both objects

$G$ is the universal gravitation constant.

$m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ are the masses of both objects

$r$ is the distance between both objects

As we can see, the gravity force is directly proportional to the mass of the bodies or objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates them.

In other words:

<h2>If we decrease the distance between both objects, the gravitational force between them will increase. </h2>

Explain in terms of impulse how padding reduces forces in a collision. State this in terms of a real example, such as the advant

Lena [83]

Answer:

Impulse = Average force x time of contact

Explanation:

Impulsive force is a force which is very large but applied on a body for a very small duration of time.

Impulse is given by the change in momentum of the body.

Impulse = Average force x small time interval

When padding is there, the time interval of contact is large and thus, the force exerted by the body is small.

So, when a person falls on the tile floor, there is no compression and thus, the time of contact is very small and thus the impulsive force is very large, due to which the body may damage.

So, when a person falls on the carpeted floor, there is a compression and thus, the time of contact is comparatively large and thus the impulsive force is small, due to which the body may safe.

A disk rotates freely on a vertical axis with an angular velocity of 50 rpm . An identical disk rotates above it in the same dir

True [87]

Answer:

Final angular velocity is 35rpm

Explanation:

Angular velocity is given by the equation:

I1w1i + I2w2i = I1w1f -I2w2f

But the two disks are identical, so Ii =I2

wf can be calculated using

wf = w1i - w2i/2

Given: w1i =50rpm w2i= 30rpm

wf= (50 + 20) / 2

wf= 70/2 = 35rpm

If an object force of 50 N is used to move an object a distance of 20 m, what distance must the object be moved if the input for

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

$\ d_{out} = 100 \ m.$

Explanation:

Given data:

$F_{in} = 50 \ \rm N$

$F_{out} = 10 \ \rm N$

$d_{in} = 20 \ m$

Let the distance traveled by the object in the second case be $d_{out}.$

In the given problem, work done by the forces are same in both the cases.

Thus,

$W_{in} = W_{out}$

$F_{in}.d_{in} = F_{out}.d_{out}$

$\Rightarrow \ d_{out} = \frac{F_{in}.d_{in}}{F_{out}}$

$\ d_{out} = \frac{50 \times 20}{10}$

$\ d_{out} = 100 \ m.$

For which length of wire are the readings of resistance the most precise

levacccp [35]

The resistance of a wire is directly proportional to the length of the wire. That is the longer the length of the wire, the higher the resistance and the shorter the length of the wire, the smaller the resistance.

Explain why the speed of light is lower than<br> 3.0 x 108 m/s as it goes through different media.

jekas [21]

Answer:

Sample Response: In a vacuum, there are no atoms or particles that interfere with the path of light. However, in other media, the speed of light is lower than 3.0 × 108 m/s because the wave is continuously absorbed and re-emitted by each atom in its path. The differences in speed are due to the composition of the medium and the density of the particles in the medium.
