Answer:
See the answers below
Explanation:
This problem and its respective questions can be easily solved using Newton's law of universal gravitation. Which can be calculated by means of the following expression.
where:
G = it is the universal gravitation constant. = 6.673 x 10⁻¹¹ [N*m²/kg²]
m1 = mass of the first body [kg]
m2 = mass of the second body [kg]
r = distance among the bodies [m]
a. the mass of one is doubled?
When this happens we see that the force is increased twice as well, since the mass is in the numerator of the expression.
b. The masses of both are doubled?
If both masses are doubled the force is increased to four times its original value since the terms of the masses are in the numerator of the expression.
c. The distance between them is doubled?
In this case the force is decreased to half of its original value, since the distance is in the denominator of the expression of universal gravitation.
The answer is A. Hope this helps. :)
Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or configuration . And energy is the capacity of doing work since power is work divided by time therefore change in potential energy divided by time is equal to the power of the object.
Answer:
5.A mid-ocean ridge or mid-oceanic ridge is an underwater mountain range, formed by plate tectonics. This uplifting of the ocean floor occurs when convection currents rise in the mantle beneath the oceanic crust and create magma where two tectonic plates meet at a divergent boundary.
6.The Nazca plate is an oceanic plate, while the South American plate is continental. The fast moving Nazca plate is moving east towards the South American plate at a downward angle and converging. This process is called subduction, resulting in frequent earthquakes & production of the Andes Mountains.
7.The Nazca plate forms the southeastern part of the Pacific plate. The Nazca and the Pacific plate share both divergent and transform type of plate boundary. The Pacific and the Nazca plate are separating at an increasing rate of about 122-142mm/year.
8.Convection currents in the mantle and in the ocean are similar because they both are responsible for the shaping the Earth's surface. Two forces are behind the movement of Earth's huge land masses. Due to combined action of convection currents and gravity, Earth's plates are in constant motion.
