Answer:

option A

Explanation:

given,

distance between two masses is doubled

new distance, r' = 3 r

using gravitational force equation

F = \dfrac{GMm}{r^2}............(1)

new gravitational force

F' = \dfrac{GMm}{r'^2}

now from the given condition

F' = \dfrac{GMm}{(3r)^2}

F' = \dfrac{GMm}{9r^2}

F' = \dfrac{1}{9}\dfrac{GMm}{r^2}

now, from equation (1)

F' = \dfrac{1}{9}F

\dfrac{F'}{F} = \dfrac{1}{9}

now, the change in gravitational force factor is equal to \dfrac{1}{9}

Hence, the correct answer is option A

Which is an example of current electricity
Reil [10]

Answer:

A or B you choose

Explanation:

This is called current electricity or an electric current. A lightning bolt is one example of an electric current, although it does not last very long. Electric currents are also involved in powering all the electrical appliances that you use, from washing machines to flashlights and from telephones to MP3 players.

what is an electrical current, amp, ampere Current is the flow of electrons. When a circuit is closed then a current of electrons can flow and when a circuit is open then no current can flow. We can measure the flow of electrons just like you can measure the flow of water through a pipe.
