X-5= 20
x-5= -20

Absolute value makes a negative positive, so when you are solving x-5 could have been 20 originally or -20 originally. Solve for both.

When setting up to solve an absolute value equation you need to remember that whatever is inside the bars represents a distance of, in this case, 20 units from zero on the number line. This can be 20 to the right or 20 to the left. For this reason we must set up TWO equations and solve both of them.
x - 5 = 20 and x - 5 = - 20

Suppose that F is an inverse square force field below, where c is a constant.

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Forces in our Universe

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all we have,

$F(r) = \frac{cr}{|r|^{3} }$

and,

$r = xi+yj+zk$

We need to define a function that allows us to find said change based on r, so one of the functions that shows that change is,

$f(r) = - c /|r|$

That is,

$\nabla f = F$

For this case F is a conservative field and the line integral is independent of the path. Thus, defining $P_{1} = (x_{1}, y_{1}, z_{1})$ and $P_{2} = (x_{2}, y_{2}, z_{2})$ . So the amount of work on the movement of the object from P1 to P2 is,

$W=\int\limits_c {F} \, dr$

$W= f(P_{1}-P_{2})$

$W= \frac{c}{(x_{2}^2+ y_{2}^2+ z_{2}^2)^{1/2} } -\frac{c}{(x_{1}^2+ y_{1}^2+ z_{1}^2)^{1/2}}$

$W= c(\frac{1}{d1}-\frac{1}{d2} )$

2) The gravitational force field is given by,

$F(r) =-\frac{mMGr}{ |r|^3}$

The maximum distance from the earth to the sun is $1.52*10 ^ 8$ km and the minimum distance is $1.47*10 ^ 8$ km. The mass values of the bodies are given by m = $5.97*10 ^ {24}$ kg, M = $1.99 *19 ^ {30}$ kg and the constant G is $6.67 * 10 ^{ -11 }$ $\frac{Nm ^ 2}{kg^2}$
