How can you make gravity smaller and bigger

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.

When bridges are built, special joints must be used because the material of the bridge shrinks, and without these joints, the ma
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

Option D.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option D.

The shrinkage of the bridge material is because of thermal contraction.

Thermal contraction and thermal expansion are the phenomena of the bridge material which takes place due to the change in temperature of the atmosphere.

When the temperature of the surrounding increases expansion of the bridge material takes place and when temperature decreases the contraction of the material takes place.

This phenomenon sometimes damages the structure because due to continuous expansion and contraction of materials strength of the bridge decreases.

A car of mass 1100kg moves at 24 m/s. What is the braking force needed to bring the car to a halt in 2.0 seconds? N
LenaWriter [7]

13200N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass = 1100kg

Velocity = 24m/s

time = 2s

unknown:

Braking force = ?

Solution:

The braking force is the force needed to stop the car from moving.

   Force  =  ma = \frac{mv}{t}

  m is the mass of the car

  v is the velocity

  t is the time taken

  Force = \frac{1100 x 24}{2} = 13200N

Near the end of a marathon race, the first two runners are separated by a distance of 45.0 m. The front runner has a velocity of
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

a. 0.7 m/s

b. The second runner

c. 4.20 meters

Explanation:

a. To know the relative speed we can use the following equation:

Relative Speed (Vr) = V1 - V2

The relative speed is used to compared the velocity of one object (V1) to another object (V2). To learn the Relative Velocity from the second runner to the first we do the following:

Relative Speed (Vr) = Second Runner Velocity (Vs) - First Runner Velocity (Vf)

Vr = 4.20 m/s  - 3.50 m/s

Vr = 0.7 m/s

This means that the second runner is gaining 0.7 meter from the first runner each second.

b. To know which runner will gain the race, we need to keep in mind, that the seconds runner is 45 meter more away that the first runner from the goal. Knowing this, the winner will be the one that reach the goal on less time.

Because movement is constant, we can use the following equation:

Velocity (V) = Distance (D) / Time (T)

To get the time we do:

T = D / V

Now, for the first runner:

T = 250 meters / (3.50 m/s)

T = 71.42 seconds

For the second runner.

T = (250 meters + 45 meters) / (4.20 m/s)

T = 70,23 seconds

Because the second runner takes less time to reach the goal, he wins the race.

c. Because it is know how much time takes the winner to get to the finish line, we can use that same time to know how far was the first runner from the goal. This is posible we know that how far he is from the goal is as follows.

Distance from goal (Dg) = Total Distance (D) - Distance travelled (Dt)

Where Total Distance (D) is 250 mts. And the distance travelled can be obtained by using the following equation.

Velocity (V) = Distance (D) / Time (T)

Searching for distance:

D = V / T.

D = (3.50 m/s) * 70.23 s

D = 245,80 meters

Soo

Distance from goal (Dg) = Total Distance (D) - Distance travelled (Dt)

Dg = 250 meters - 245,80 meters

Dg = 4,20 meters

The first runner was 4,20 meter behind the second one when the second runner crossed the goal
