Each of the following diagrams shows a spaceship somewhere along the way between Earth and the Moon (not to scale); the midpoint
of the distance is marked to make it easier to see how the locations compare. Assume the spaceship has the same mass throughout the trip (that is, it is not burning any fuel). Rank the five positions of the spaceship from left to right based on the strength of the gravitational force that Earth exerts on the spaceship, from strongest to weakest.

Answer:
Where represent the force for each of the 5 cases
presented on the figure attached.
Explanation:
For this case the figure attached shows the illustration for the problem
We have an inverse square law with distance for the force, so then the force of gravity between Earth and the spaceship is lower when the spaceship is far away from Earth.
Th formula is given by:
Where G is a constant
represent the mass for the earth
represent the mass for the spaceship
represent the radius between the earth and the spaceship
For this reason when the distance between the Earth and the Spaceship increases the Force of gravity needs to decrease since are inversely proportional the force and the radius, and for the other case when the Earth and the spaceship are near then the radius decrease and the Force increase.
Based on this case we can create the following rank:
Where represent the force for each of the 5 cases
presented on the figure attached.

The formula for the period of wave is: wave period is equals to 1 over the frequency.
To get the value of period of wave you need to divide 1 by 200 Hz. However, beforehand, you have to convert 200 Hz to cycles per second. So that would be, 200 cyles per second or 200/s.
By then, you can start the computation by dividing 1 by 200/s. Since 200/s is in fractional form, you have to find its reciprocal form and multiply it to one which would give you 1 (one) second over 200. This would then lead us to the value 0.005 seconds as the wave period.
wave period= 1/200 Hz
Convert Hz to cycles per second first
200 Hz x 1/s= 200/second
Make 200/second as your divisor, so:
wave period= 1/ 200/s
get the reciprocal form of 200/s which is s/200
then you can start the actual computation:
wave period= 1 x s divided by 200
this would give us an answer of 0.005 s.
