Gravitational Force: Two small objects, with masses m and M, are originally a distance r apart, and the magnitude of the gravita

tional force on each one is F. The masses are changed to 2m and 2M, and the distance is changed to 4r. What is the magnitude of the new gravitational force?

Law of universal gravitation:

F = GMm/r²

F = gravitational force, G = gravitational constant, M & m = masses of the objects, r = distance between the objects

F is proportional to both M and m:

F ∝ M, F ∝ m

F is proportional to the inverse square of r:

F ∝ 1/r²

Calculate the scaling factor of F due to the change in M:

k₁ = 2M/M = 2

Calculate the scaling factor of F due to the change in m:

k₂ = 2m/m = 2

Calculate the scaling factor of F due to the change in r:

k₃ = 1/(4r/r)² = 1/16

Multiply the original force F by the scaling factors to obtain the new force:

Fk₁k₂k₃

= F(2)(2)(1/16)

= F/4

What is the
Len [333]

Answer:

d=5\ g/cm^3

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the object, m = 100 grams

Volume of the object, V = 20 cm³

We need to find the density of the object. We know that, density is equal to mass per unit volume. So,

d=\dfrac{m}{V}\\\\d=\dfrac{100\ g}{20\ cm^3}\\\\d=5\ g/cm^3

So, the density of the object is equal to 5\ g/cm^3.

Triss [41]

C. Clear, dry weather. A good way to remember is H for high pressure = H for happy weather; L for low pressure = L for lousy weather (Glad I had someone to tell me this)

A ship leaves the island of Guam and sails a distance 255 km at an angle 49.0 o north of west. Part A: In which direction must i
kiruha [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall represent displacement in vector form .Consider east as x axes and north as Y axes west as - ve x axes and south as - ve Y axes . 255 km can be represented by the following vector

D₁ = - 255 cos 49 i  + 255 sin49 j

= - 167.29 i + 192.45 j

Let D₂ be the further displacement which lands him 125 km east . So the resultant displacement is

D = 125 i

So

D₁ + D₂ = D

- 167.29 i + 192.45 j + D₂ = 125 i

D₂ = 125 i + 167.29 i - 192.45 j

= 292.29 i - 192.45 j

Angle of D₂ with x axes θ

tan θ = -192.45 / 292.29

= - 0.658

θ = 33.33 south of east

Magnitude of D₂

D₂² = ( 192.45)² + ( 292.29)²

D₂ = 350 km approx
