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

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>.

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Frequency, f = 3.73Hz

Explanation:

The frequency of a simple harmonic 6is given by:

f = w/2pi

But w= Sqrt( k/m)

Where k is the spring constant

And m is the mass

Given:

Mass=0.20kg

Spring constant, k=130N/m

w= Sqrt(130/0.20)

w= Sqrt(650)

w= 25.50 m

Frequency, f = w/2pi

f = 25.50/(2×3.142)

f = 3.73Hz

An object of mass m is traveling in a circle with centripetal force Fc. If the velocity of the object is v, what is the radius o
borishaifa [10]

Hi there!

Recall the equation for centripetal force:
F_c = \frac{mv^2}{r}

We can rearrange the equation to solve for 'r'.

Multiply both sides by r:
r * F_c = mv^2

Divide both sides by Fc:
\boxed{ r= \frac{mv^2}{F_c}}

kozerog [31]

Random variable

Explanation:

A function that assigns a numerical value to each outcome of an experiment is described as a random variable. Random variables helps to determine the outcome of a random event.

  • Example of a random event is tossing of die, casting of a coin.
  • Random variables ascribe numerical values to the outcome of an experiment.
  • They are often used in probability to determine the extent of the certainty of an experimental procedure.
