The law of conservation of energy states that when one from of energy is converted into another ,

Consider Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation: FG= G (m1 m2)/d2 .

bixtya [17]

Answer:

C

Mass is directly proportional to the Force of Gravity. If Mass increases, then the Force of Gravity increases; however, Distance is indirectly (or inversely) proportional to the Force of Gravity. If Distance increases, then the Force of Gravity decreases.

Explanation:

The formula for the force of gravity between two objects is

$F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{d^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects

d is the separation between the two objects

We notice the following:

- F is directly proportional to the masses, $F\propto m_1, m_2$ . This means that if one of the masses increases, then the force between them, F, increases in a proportional way

- F is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, $F\propto \frac{1}{d^2}$ . This means that if the distance between the two objects is increased, the force between them will decrease, and vice-versa.

So, the correct answer is

C

Mass is directly proportional to the Force of Gravity. If Mass increases, then the Force of Gravity increases; however, Distance is indirectly (or inversely) proportional to the Force of Gravity. If Distance increases, then the Force of Gravity decreases.

Write a brief essay describing how Newton’s Laws explain how a rocket in space can move objects

statuscvo [17]

The First Law describes how an object acts when no force is acting upon it. So, rockets stay still until a force is applied to move them. Likewise, once they're in motion, they won't stop until a force is applied. Newton's Second Law tells us that the more mass an object has, the more force is needed to move it. A larger rocket will need stronger forces (eg. more fuel) to make it accelerate. The space shuttles required seven pounds of fuel for every pound of payload they carry. Newton's Third Law states that "every action has an equal and opposite reaction". In a rocket, burning fuel creates a push on the front of the rocket pushing it forward.

A plane travels 2.5 KM at an angle of 35 degrees to the ground, then changes direction and travels 5.2 km at an angle of 22 degr

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

7.7 km 26°

Explanation:

The total x component is:

x = 2.5 cos(35°) + 5.2 cos(22°) = 6.87

The total y component is:

y = 2.5 sin(35°) + 5.2 sin(22°) = 3.38

The magnitude is:

d = √(x² + y²)

d = 7.7 km

The direction is:

θ = atan(y/x)

θ = 26°

A bowling ball with a negative initial velocity slows down as it rolls down the lane toward the pins. Is the bowling ballâs acce

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

positive

Explanation:

The ball is rolling down with a negative velocity, but the velocity is slowing down. therefore the velocity must increase in order for the ball to slow down.

For example let the ball's initial velocity be -15 m/s. and it is slowing down to let's say -13 m/s. Well this means that it's velocity has increase by 2 m/s. So, its acceleration is positive.
