The gravitational force between two objects will be greatest in which of the following situations?

Physics

Kobotan [32]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

Gravitational law states that, the force of attraction or repulsion between two masses is directly proportional to the product of the two masses and inversely proportional to the square of their distance apart.

So,

Let the masses be M1 and M2,

F ∝ M1 × M2

Let the distance apart be R

F ∝ 1 / R²

Combining the two equation

F ∝ M1•M2 / R²

G is the constant of proportional and it is called gravitational constant

F = G•M1•M2 / R²

So, to increase the gravitational force, the masses to the object must be increased and the distance apart must be reduced.

So, option c is correct

C. Both objects have large masses and are close together.

anygoal [31]

Answer:

A) is repelled by the sphere

Explanation:

  • When a piece of plastic is rubbed with a wooden cloth, it sinks negatively
  • Let it change Q. So it is now allowed to touch the neutral zone. Therefore, there is a difference in the surface capacity of the two bodies, so that charge transfer takes place
  • Some of its negative charge is transferred to the metal sphere, now both the rod and the sphere are negatively charged and the same chargers as we know are repelled by each other.
  • so correct answer is A) is repelled by sphere

Why is everything spinning? Moons, planets and stars all rotate on their axes, moons orbit planets, planets orbit stars, spiral
kow [346]

Answer:

Conservation of angular momentum

Explanation:

When the objects spread in universe after big bang, because of the tremendous force , they gained angular momentum and started to rotate. Since, then the object continue to rotate on their axis because of conservation of angular momentum. In vacuum of space there no other forces that can stop these rotation, therefore, they continue to rotate.

1. Some stars are bigger than others, some are different colors or temperatures. It all really depends on the age of the star.

2. Four differences could be:

   1) Outer planets are much farther away from the sun, so they get less sunlight than inner planets.
   2) Also, the outer planets are all gas giants (excluding Pluto), while inner planets are all rocky planets.
   3) Inner planets also have a much higher density than outer planets.
   4) Outer planets also tend to have many more moons than inner planets (such as Jupiter, with 63 known moons).

3. The barrier that separates the inner from the outer planets is a ring of space rocks known as the Asteroid Belt.

A comet is a ball of ice that orbits a star in a wide elliptical orbit.
An asteroid is a large rocky body that orbits a star, and could be anywhere in size from 600 miles across to tiny dust particles.
A meteoroid is a small object floating through space freely (not necessarily bound in any orbit) that is usually made of a rocky or metallic material.

4. Day and night are caused by the earth's rotation on its axis. Night is relative to the observer, and occurs when the observer is on the side opposite that on which the sun is shining.

Hope that helped =)

alexira [117]
Formula for Velocity = DISTANCE traveled/TIME to travel distance + direction

For this one, we can use mph(miles per hour) as unit. 

v = 1,000 miles / 336 hours   (2 weeks = 24 hours  x 14 days = 336 hrs)
   = 2.98 mph North

or we can use kph (kilometers per hour)

v = 1609.34 km / 336 hours    (1 mile = 1.60934 km)
  = 4.79 kph North
