Answer:

800 N

Explanation:

By Newton's third law which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

So, as the earth attracts the person towards its center, the person attracts the earth towards itself with the same magnitude of force but in the opposite direction.

Since the person is attracted towards the center of the earth by an 800 N gravitational force, the  the earth is attracted toward the person with an 800 N reaction force.

Two objects attract each other gravitationally. If the distance between their centers decreases by a factor of 2, how does the g
kramer

Answer:

The gravitational force between them increases by a factor of 4

Explanation:

Gravitational force is a force of attraction between two objects with masses M and m which are separated by a distance R. It is given mathematically as:

Fg = GMm/R²

Where G = Gravitational constant.

If the distance between their centers, R, decreases by a factor of 2, then it means the new distance between their centers is:

r = R/2

Hence,the gravitational force becomes:

Fg = GMm/r²

Fg = GMm/(R/2)²

Fg = GMm/(R²/4)

Fg = 4GMm/R²

Hence,the gravitational force increases by a factor of 4.

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

r₂=0.1 m

Explanation:

Given that

r₁= 10 m  , β₁ = 20 dB

At r₂ ,β₂= 60 dB

As we know that intensity level of sound given as

\beta =10\ log\dfrac{I}{10^{-12}}

\beta _1=10\ log\dfrac{I_1}{10^{-12}}

20=10\ log\dfrac{I_1}{10^{-12}}

10² x 10⁻¹² = I₁

I₁=10⁻¹⁰ W/m²

\beta _2=10\ log\dfrac{I_2}{10^{-12}}

60=10\ log\dfrac{I_1}{10^{-12}}

10⁶ x  10⁻¹² = I₂

I₂ = 10⁻⁶ W/m²

I₁=10⁻¹⁰ W/m²

P = I A

P=Power ,I =Intensity  ,A=Area

\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{r^2_2}{r^2_1}

\dfrac{10^{-10}}{10^{-6}}=\dfrac{r^2_2}{10^2}

r₂=0.1 m

D=Vot+1/2at^2

In this case, there is no initial y velocity so the term Vot=0 so d=1/2at^2

acceleration=acceleration due to gravity=-9.8m/s^2

It falls - 22cm or -0.22m

We have - 0.22=1/2(-9.8)t^2

t^2=(-0.44)/(-9.8)

t=sqrt[0.44/9.8]

Suppose two wagons, one with twice as much mass as the other, fly apart when a compressed spring that joins them is released. Th
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

The heavier wagon rolls 1/2 as fast as the lighter wagon.

Explanation:

When the compressed spring that joins them is released then the force acts on both wagons will be of equal magnitude but in the opposite direction. However as the mass of one wagon is twice that of other, so the acceleration  will become half of the heavier wagon in comparison with lighter one.
