Answer:

The magnitude of the force will decrease

Explanation:

The gravitational force is one of the four fundamental forces of nature. It is an attractive force exerted between every object having mass.

Its magnitude is given by the equation:

$F=\frac{Gm_1 m_2}{r^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

m1 is the mass of the first object

m2 is the mass of the second object

r is the separation between the objects

As we see from the equation, the magnitude of the gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects:

$F\propto \frac{1}{r^2}$

Therefore, this means that as the distance between two bodies increases, the gravitational force will decrease.

Answer:

$\tau = 7.63 Nm$

Explanation:

As we know that moment of force is given as

$\tau = \vec r \times \vec F$

now we have

$\vec r = 1.2 m$

$\vec F = 14 N$

now from above formula we have

$\tau = r F sin\theta$

here we know that

$\theta = 27 degree$

so we have

$\tau = (1.2)(14) sin27$

$\tau = 7.63 Nm$

The barrel of a rifle has a length of 0.89 m. A bullet leaves the muzzle of a rifle with a speed of 620 m/s. What is the acceler

guapka [62]

Answer:

215955.06 m/s^2

Explanation:

length of barrel, s = 0.89 m

initial velocity of the bullet, u = 0 m/s

Final velocity of the bullet, v = 620 m/s

Let a be the acceleration of the bullet in the barrel

Use third equation of motion, we get

$v^{2}=u^{2}+ 2as$

$620^{2}=0^{2}+ 2\times a \times 0.89$

a = 215955.06 m/s^2

Thus, the acceleration of the bullet inside the barrel is 215955.06 m/s^2.

sergejj [24]

Answer:

-17.5 nC

Explanation:

charge A = -30 nC

charge B = -5 nC

After adding them it would be the average of the two charges because of the getting same voltage difference. so

c = (-30+(-5)) / 2 nC

c= -17.5 nC

answer is -17.5 nC
