Answer:

0.29D

Explanation:

Given that

F = G M m / r2

F = GM(6m) / (D-r)2

G Mm/r2 = GM(6m) / (D-r)2

1/r2 = 6 / (D-r)2

r = D / (Ö6 + 1)

r = 0.29 D

What force is produced when a battery causes an electric current to flow trough a circuit made of copper wire
zzz [600]
You'll hear that force called different things in different places. It
may be called "electromotive force", "EMF", "potential difference",
or "voltage".

It's just a matter of somehow causing the two ends of the wire
to have different electrical potential. When that happens, the
free electrons in the copper suddenly have a burning desire to
travel ... away from the end that's more negative, toward the end
that's more positive, and THAT's an "electric current".

What happens when a substance undergoes a physical change
zysi [14]

Physical changes are those which do not affect the chemical properties of a substance. For example, when a paper is cut, the two pieces obtained are still paper. The chemical properties have not changed. Only, physically when one piece is cut to two. A chemical change occurs when the chemical properties change and a new substance with different chemical properties is obtained. For example, when the paper is burnt, it turns to ashes. Hence, this is a chemical change.

When a substance undergoes a physical change, the physical properties of the substance changes like the state (solid to liquid during melting), shape, size, volume etc. Many physical changes are reversible whereas, in general many chemical changes are irreversible.
