How do you think the gravitational force between two objects will change if the distance between the objects is doubled

1 answer:

4 0

We Know, F = Gm₁m₂ / r²
When, distance is doubled, it would be:
F' = Gm₁m₂ / (2r)²
F' = Gm₁m₂ / 4r

So, we can see, Force has decreased by 4 times.

Hope this helps!

The driver of a car traveling 110 km/h slams on the brakes so that the car undergoes a constant acceleration, skidding to a comp

Ber [7]

Answer: $-6.80\ ms^{-2}$

Explanation:

We know that the formula for acceleration is given by:

$a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}$ , where v = Final velocity

u= Initial velocity

Given : The driver of a car traveling 110 km/h slams on the brakes so that the car undergoes a constant acceleration.

i.e. u= 110 km/h $=\dfrac{110\times1000}{3600}\approx35.6\ m/s$ [∵ 1 km= 100 meters and 1 hour = 3600 seconds]

v= 0 m/s ( At brake , final velocity becomes 0)

t=4.5 seconds

Substitute all the values in the formula , we get

$a=\dfrac{0-30.56}{4.5}\approx-6.80\ ms^{-2}$

Hence, the average acceleration of the car during braking is $-6.80\ ms^{-2}$ .

A current of 3.60A flows for 15.3s through a conductor. Calculate the number of electrons that pass through a point in the condu

Artyom0805 [142]

3.60 A = 3.60 coulombs of charge per second

(3.60 Coul/sec) x (15.3 sec) = 55.08 coulombs of charge

1 coulomb of charge is carried by 6.25 x 10^18 electrons

Number of electrons =

(55.08 Coul) x (6.25 x 10^18 e/coul) = <em>3.4425 x 10^20 electrons</em>
