How can you make gravity smaller and bigger

Physics

You can increase the forces of gravity between you and,
let's say, a planet, in two ways.

Way #1:
Increase your mass. 
(Eat or drink more.
Fill your pockets with rocks.
Put on a heavy coat or space suit.)

Way #2:
Get closer to the center of the planet.
(That only works down to the planet's surface, but
it stops working if you go below the surface.)

To decrease the forces of gravity, do exactly the opposite:
-- lose weight
-- get farther away from the object that gravity is attracting you to .

Also, don't forget: 
The forces of gravity always work both ways. 
The less the planet pulls on you, the less you pull on the planet.
The harder the planet pulls on you, the harder you pull on the planet.

The force of gravity = GMm / r^2, where G is gravitational constant, M is mass of one object, m is mass of another object, r is distance between them.

To make gravity smaller, decrease mass or increase distance.
To make gravity bigger, increase mass or decrease distance.

How much work is done (by a battery, generator, or some other source of potential difference) in moving Avogadro's number of ele
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

W = 1.5 x 10⁶ J = 1.5 MJ

Explanation:

First, we calculate the potential difference between the given 2 points. So, we have:

V₁ = Electric Potential at Initial Position = 6.7 V

V₂ = Electric Potential at Final Position = - 8.9 V

Therefore,

ΔV = Potential Difference = V₂ - V₁ = -8.9 V - 6.7 V = - 15.6 V

Since, we use magnitude in calculation only. Therefore,

ΔV = 15.6 V

Now, we calculate total charge:

Total Charge = q = (No. of Electrons)(Charge on 1 Electron)

where,

No. of Electrons = Avagadro's No. = 6.022 x 10²³

Charge on 1 electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

Therefore,

q = (6.022 x 10²³)(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C)

q = 96352 C

Now, from the definition of potential difference, we know that it is equal to the worked done on a unit charge moving it between the two points of different potentials:

ΔV = W/q

W = (ΔV )(q)

where,

W = work done = ?

W = (15.6 V)(96352 C)

<u>W = 1.5 x 10⁶ J = 1.5 MJ</u>

Why does the moon go through phases?
givi [52]

Answer:

The Moon has phases because it orbits Earth, which causes the portion we see illuminated to change.

Explanation:

The Moon takes 27.3 days to orbit Earth, but the lunar phase cycle (from new Moon to new Moon) is 29.5 days. ... As the Sun sets, the Moon rises with the side that faces Earth fully exposed to sunlight (5).

A chair of weight 95.0N lies atop a horizontal floor; the floor is not frictionless. You push on the chair with a force of F = 3
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Answer:

118.4 N

Explanation:

weight of chair, mg = 95 N

Push, F = 39 N

Ф = 37 ° below x axis

Let n be the normal force.

So, by using the diagram and resolve the components of Force F.

n = mg + F SinФ

n = 95 + 39 Sin 37°

n = 95 + 39 x 0.6

n = 118.4 N
