What happens to the magnitude of the gravitational force as the distance between two bodies increase?

Physics
1 answer:
Anna [14]2 years ago
7 0

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.

How does the momentum of a fast object compare to that of a slow object if they both have the same mass?
Varvara68 [4.7K]
The momentum of a fast object compared to that of a slow object even if they both have the same mass, is their velocities.

Having same mass but different velocities results in different momentum.

Example: mass = 10kg
Velocity 1 = 50 Velocity 2 = 100
Momentum 1 = 10×50 = 500 Ns
Momentum 2 = 10×100 = 1000 Ns

Hope it helped!

A 66-kg fellow stands on a digital scale in an elevator that accelerates upwards from rest to 4.5 m/s in 2.00 s. show answer Inc
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of the fellow ( m ) = 66kg

acceleration of fellow a

v = u + at

4.5 = 0 + a x 2

a = 4.5 /2

= 2.25 m / s²

Net force acting on fellow in upward direction by the surface of  elevator

R - mg where R is reaction force of the surface of the elevator

Applying Newton's law of motion

R - mg = ma

R = m (g +a )

= 66 x ( 9.8 + 2 )

= 778.8 N

This will be the scale reading .

What is the equation for finding the acceleration of an object moving in a straight line?
lapo4ka [179]

The equations to find the acceleration are the suvat equations:

v=u+at\\s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\s=vt-\frac{1}{2}at^2\\v^2-u^2=2as\\s=(\frac{u+v}{2})t

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object is the rate if change in velocity of the object. It is calculated as

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v is the final velocity of the object

u is the initial velocity

t is the time elapsed

For an object moving in a straight line at constant acceleration, there are several equations that can be used to find the acceleration: they are called suvat equations. They are the following:

v=u+at\\s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\s=vt-\frac{1}{2}at^2\\v^2-u^2=2as\\s=(\frac{u+v}{2})t

where

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

t is the time

s is the distance covered

a is the acceleration

Therefore, any of the above equations can be used to  calculate the acceleration.
