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.

Sakura tested the ph of several solutions. which substances are acidic? check all that apply. cola-flavored soda: 2.6 cranberry
Step2247 [10]

Answer:- Cola-flavored soda:2.6, cranberry juice:2.9 and pickle juice:5.5 are acidic.

Explanations:- As per the pH scale, the solution is acidic if the pH is below 7 and the solution is basic if the pH is above 7. The solution is neutral if the pH is exactly 7.

There are only three solutions with pH value below 7 and so they are acidic. these three solutions are, cola-flavored soda, cranberry juice and pickle juice.

Rest of them are basic as their pH value is greater than 7.
