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

half?

4 0

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>.

How much would you have to eat for your appendix to explode ? I ate so much on thanksgiving and i need to know i’m very scared
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

I don't think your appendix can explode because you ate too much honestly. It's not even possible to eat so much that your appendix explodes, and if you're feeling any pain it definitely isn't because your appendix is about to explode, believe me. Also you could just type it into the internet, that'd be a much faster solution.

A projectile is fired with initial speed vo at an angle of 45o above the horizontal. Assume no air resistance.
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is a

Explanation:

At projectile launch speeds are

X axis     vₓ = v₀ = cte

Y axis     v_{y} = v_{oy} –gt

The moment is defined as

         p = mv

For the x axis

         pₓ = mvₓ = m v₀ₓ

As the speed is constant the moment is constant

For the y axis

        p_{y} = m v_{y} = m (v_{oy} –gt) = m v_{oy} - m (gt)

Speed ​​changes over time, so the moment also changes over time

Let's examine the answer

i   True

ii False.  The moment changes with time

The correct answer is a

A yellow train of mass 100 kg is moving at 8 m/s towards an orange train of mass 200 kg traveling on the opposite direction on t
vladimir1956 [14]
Mass of yellow train, my = 100 kg

Initial Velocity of yellow train, = 8 m/s

mass of orange train = 200 kg

Initial Velocity of orange train = -1 m/s (since it moves opposite direction to the yellow train, we will put negative to show the opposite direction)

To calculate the initial momentum of both trains, we will use the principle of conservation of momentum which

The sum of initial momentum = the sum of final momentum


Since the question only wants the sum of initial momentum,

(100)(8) + (200)(-1) = 600 m/s
