The gravitational force between two asteroids is 100N. What would the force be if the distance between the asteroids was cut in

half?

The gravitational forces between two masses are inversely proportional to
the square of the distance between the centers of the masses.

So if the distance between the <u>centers</u> of the asteroids is multiplied by 1/2,
then the gravitational forces between them are multiplied by ...

                         1 / (1/2)²  =  (2)²  =  4 .

The new force is  (100N)  x  (4)  =  <em>400N</em>.

A 0.500-kg stone is moving in a vertical circular path attached to a string that is 75.0 cm long. The stone is moving around the
Semenov [28]

Answer:

B. 7.07 m/s

Explanation:

The velocity of the stone when it leaves the circular path is its tangential velocity, v, which is given by

v=\omega r

where \omega is the angular speed and r is the radius of the circular path.

\omega is given by

\omega = 2\pi f

where f is the frequency of revolution.

Thus

v=2\pi fr

Using values from the question,

v=2\pi\times 1.50\times0.75

<em>Note the conversion of 75 cm to 0.75 m</em>

v=2\times3.14\times 1.50\times0.75 = 9.42\times0.75 = 7.065=7.07

Sound waves that enter the external acoustic meatus eventually encounter the __________, which then vibrates at the same frequen
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

tympanic membrane (eardrum)

Explanation:

The sound waves spread through the air and reach the outer ear, into which they penetrate through the ear canal. In doing so, they stimulate the eardrum, which closes the inner end of the duct. By vibrating this membrane, the vibration of a chain of ossicles located in the middle ear is induced. These ossicles transmit their vibration to the oval window, which is a membranous structure that communicates the middle ear with the cochlea of ​​the inner ear. When the oval membrane moves, it moves the liquid (perilymph) that fills one of the three cavities of the cochlea generating waves in it. These waves mechanically stimulate the sensory cells (hair cells) located in the organ of Corti, within the cochlea in the central cavity, the middle ramp. This cavity is filled with a liquid rich in K +, endolymph. The cells embedded in the endolymph, change their permeability to K + due to the movement of the cilia and respond by releasing a neurotransmitter that excites the nerve terminals, which initiate the auditory sensory pathway.

A 600 kg car is at test and then accelerated to 5m/s , what is its original kinetic energy
ycow [4]

Answer:

0 J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is defined as:

KE = 1/2 m v²

where m is mass and v is velocity.

The car starts at rest, so it has zero velocity.  Therefore, its initial kinetic energy is 0 J.
