As the distance increases, the mutual gravitational forces between two objects DEcrease. That's why you're attracted toward the Earth more strongly than toward Jupiter. Or toward the sun.

Decreases. Coulomb's Law is based on this, and it basically says, as masses move further apart, their attraction forces become weaker. So, the answer is A.

for any object suspended by any number of ropes, wires, or chains, how is the total amount of tension (tension in each rope adde

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

To calculate the tension on a rope holding 1 object, multiply the mass and gravitational acceleration of the object. If the object is experiencing any other acceleration, multiply that acceleration by the mass and add it to your first total.

Explanation:

The tension in a given strand of string or rope is a result of the forces pulling on the rope from either end. As a reminder, force = mass × acceleration. Assuming the rope is stretched tightly, any change in acceleration or mass in objects the rope is supporting will cause a change in tension in the rope. Don't forget the constant acceleration due to gravity - even if a system is at rest, its components are subject to this force. We can think of a tension in a given rope as T = (m × g) + (m × a), where "g" is the acceleration due to gravity of any objects the rope is supporting and "a" is any other acceleration on any objects the rope is supporting.[2]

For the purposes of most physics problems, we assume ideal strings - in other words, that our rope, cable, etc. is thin, massless, and can't be stretched or broken.

As an example, let's consider a system where a weight hangs from a wooden beam via a single rope (see picture). Neither the weight nor the rope are moving - the entire system is at rest. Because of this, we know that, for the weight to be held in equilibrium, the tension force must equal the force of gravity on the weight. In other words, Tension (Ft) = Force of gravity (Fg) = m × g.

Assuming a 10 kg weight, then, the tension force is 10 kg × 9.8 m/s2 = 98 Newtons.

A football player runs 20 meters North of a football field, and then 15 meters East. The total motion lasted 15 seconds. What wa

vlada-n [284]

Given:
1st run: 20 meters North
2nd run: 15 meters East
time: 15 seconds

Average speed = total distance covered / total time taken
Ave. Speed = (20m + 15m) / 15s
Ave. Speed = 35m / 15s
Ave. Speed = 2 1/3 meters per second
