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

Physics
1 answer:
Kobotan [32]3 years ago
8 0

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.

Calculate the wavelength of an orange light wave with a frequency of 5.085 x 10^14 Hz. The speed of light is 3.0 x 10^8 m/s.
Margarita [4]

Answer:

5.9 x 10⁻⁷m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Frequency = 5.085 x 10¹⁴Hz

Speed of light  = 3.0 x 10⁸m/s

Unknown:

Wavelength of the orange light  = ?

Solution:

The wavelength can be derived using the expression below;

            wavelength  = \frac{v}{f}

v is the speed of light

f is the frequency

            wavelength  = \frac{3 x 10^{8} }{5.085 x 10^{14} }   = 5.9 x 10⁻⁷m

Calculate the acceleration of a turtle going from 0.3 m/s to 0.7 m/s in 30 seconds.
Hoochie [10]
Acceleration = velocity/ time
Acceleration = 0.7-0.3 /30= 0.01 m/s^2
Notice that velocity is calculated the final speed minus the initial !

A 76-kg man standing on a scale in an elevator notes that as the elevator rises, the scale reads 840 N. What is the acceleration
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

1.25 m/s^2

Explanation:

m = 76 kg, R = 840 N

Let a be the acceleration of teh elevator in upward direction.

By use of Newton's second law

R - mg = m a

R = m ( g + a)

840 = 76 ( 9.8 + a)

a = 1.25 m/s^2

A block of mass 3.5 kg displaces 1000 cm ^3 of water when fully immersed inside. The upthrust on body will be what​.
Arturiano [62]

Given :

  • Mass of block = 3.5 kg
  • Weight of Block = 3.5 kgf
  • Volume of water displaced when body is fully immersed = 1000 cm³

Answer:

For calculating Upthrust on block we will have to first find out Volume of block :

↪Volume of block = Volume of water displaced

↪ Volume of block = 1000 cm³ = 0.001 m³

<h2>________________</h2>

Now, <u>we will calculate the Upthrust on block</u>:

↪ Upthrust on block = Volume of block * Density of water * g

↪ Upthrust on block = 0.001 * 1000 * g

↪ Upthrust on block = 1 kgf
