Suppose earth's mass increased but earth's diameter didn't change. Describe how the gravitational force between Earth and the ob

ject on its surface would change.

Answer:

It increases proportionally

Explanation:

The gravitational force between the Earth and an object on its surface is given by

F=G\frac{Mm}{R^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the Earth's mass

m is the mass of the object

R is the Earth's radius

In this problem, the Earth's mass is increased, while the diameter (and therefore, the radius) doesn't change. From the equation, we see that the gravitational force is directly proportional to the Earth's mass: therefore, if the mass is increased, the force will increase as well by the same proportion (for example, if the mass is doubled, the force will double as well)

If earth increase the distance from the sun, what will happen to the period of orbi t(the time it takes to complete one revoluti
Mandarinka [93]

The period of the orbit would increase as well

Explanation:

We can answer this question by applying Kepler's third law, which states that:

"The square of the orbital period of a planet around the Sun is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit"

Mathematically,

\frac{T^2}{a^3}=const.

Where

T is the orbital period

a is the semi-major axis of the orbit

In this problem, the question asks what happens if the distance of the Earth from the Sun increases. Increasing this distance means increasing the semi-major axis of the orbit, a: but as we saw from the previous equation, the orbital period of the Earth is proportional to a, therefore as a increases, T increases as well.

Therefore, the period of the orbit would increase.

A 0.12 kg bird is flying at a constant speed of 7.8 m/s. what is the birds conetic energy?
lana [24]
KE=1/2mv^2 - equation for kinetic energy
KE=(1/2)(0.12 kg)((7.8 m/s)^2 - plug it into the formula
KE=(0.06 kg)(60.84 m/s) - multiply 1/2 to the mass and square the speed
KE= 3.7 J - answer
Hope this helps
