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>

Eddi Din [679]
Let the left end A and the right end B. 
Let w = the weight of the full beam. 
0 = -(w/2)*(L/4) - (w)*(L/2) + Fa*L 
Fa = [(w/2)*(L/4) + (w)*(L/2)]/L = w/8 + w/2 = 5/8*w = 5/8*m*g = 5/8*1800*9.81 Fa = 11036.25 N 
Fa + Fb = w Fb = w - Fa = 1.8*(1800*9.81) - 11036.25 Fb = 20748.15 N

the mass of an object is 90 kg calculate weight of the same object on the surface of the moon.(acceleration due to gravity on th
aalyn [17]

Explanation:

the weight of an object is its force exerted by gravity.

on earth we take gravitational acceleration to be 9.8 m/s^2

so the weight of an object on earth is given by F = mg

hence,

F = 90 × 9.8

F = 882 Newtons (weight on earth)

gravitational acceleration on the moon is equal to 9.8/6. so, we can just use the same formula to find the weight on the moon.

F = 90 × 9.8/6

F = 147 Newtons (weight on the moon)

make sure to ask if you need any further guidance.

You drop a 14-g ball from a height of 1.5 m and it only bounces back to a height of 0.85 m. what was the total impulse on the ba
Allisa [31]
<span>Remember that  impulse = change in momentum 

this means we compute the momentum of the ball just before impression and just after; we know the mass, so we find the speeds 

the ball falls for 1.5m and will achieve a speed given by energy conservation: 

1/2 mv^2 = mgh => v=sqrt[2gh]=5.42m/s 

since it rises only to 0.85 m, we compute the initial speed after power from the same equation and get 
v(after)=sqrt[2*9.81m/s/s*0.85m] = 4.0837 m... 

now, recall that momentum is a vector, so that the momentum down has one sign and the momentum up has a positive sign, so we have 

impulse = delta (mv) = m delta v = 0.014 kx (4.08m/s - (-5.42m/s) = 0.133 kgm/s </span>

Answer:   A    Answers. Assuming that the terminal velocity doesn't change during the fall, then the kinetic energy would remain constant. However the terminal velocity decreases during the fall since the air becomes denser at lower altitudes.

Explanation:

What happens to the KE of an object when it slows down and heats up? - Quora. The kinetic energy goes down and the loss of the kinetic energy is through the production of heat energy. In real world this is due to friction, or an opposing force that decelerates the object, or a combination of both.
