Answer:
Centre of mass is the point at which the distribution of mass is equal in all directions, and does not depend on gravitational field. Centre of gravity is the point at which the distribution of weight is equal in all directions, and does depend on gravitational field.
Answer:
"we both attract each other with the same force but we know that attraction between two bodies depends upon their mass, greater the mass of two bodies is the force of attraction between them"(got this off the internet).
Answer:
2.1J
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Spring constant = 128N/m
Compression = 0.18m
Unknown:
Potential energy of the spring = ?
Solution
The potential energy of the spring is the elastic potential energy within the spring.
To solve this;
Elastic potential energy =
k e²
k is the spring constant
e is the compression
Now;
Elastic potential energy =
x 128 x 0.18² = 2.1J
Answer:
Reduced by 49 times
Explanation:
We have Newton formula for attraction force between 2 objects with mass and a distance between them:

where G is the gravitational constant.
are the masses of the 2 objects. and R is the distance between them.
Since R squared is in the denominator of the formula, if we make it 7 times as large with no change in mass, gravitational force would be dropped by 7*7 = 49 times
