Answer:

The strongest gravitational attraction between the two objects will be experienced when the distance between the two objects is smallest.

Explanation:

According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, the force of attraction between two objects is proportional to the products of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance of separation between the two objects. This attraction between objects is known as gravity and it applies to all objects in the universe.

From the law of universal gravitation, since their is an inverse square relationship between gravitational force and the distance of separation between two interacting objects, an increase in the distance of separation will result in weaker gravitational forces.  For example, if the distance of separation between two objects is increased by a factor of 2, then the force of gravitational attraction is decreased by a factor of 4 (since 2² = 4). However, if the distance of separation between the two objects is decreased by a factor of two, i.e. is halved, then the force of gravitational attraction is increased by a factor of 4.

Thus, the strongest gravitational attraction between the two objects will be experienced when the distance between the two objects is smallest.

If you have studied the chemistry of fats can you identify the end arrangement found in fatty acids as well as amino acids? What
White raven [17]
Answers:
1) - COOH
2) carboxyl group

The organic acids contain the carboxyl group: - COOH.

Fats are structures composed by fatty acids. Fatty acids are long aliphatic chains with a carboxyl group at the end.

Aminoacids are chains that contains amine group (NH2) at one end and the carboxyl group at the other end.

Then both aminoacids and fatty acids contain the carboxyl group (-COOH) at one end.
