Answer : The correct option is, (B) the square of the distance

Explanation :

Gravitational force : It is defined as the gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the two object and an inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two object.

The gravitational force (F) between the two object masses (M) and (m) and the distance between the two object (r) is given by the equation,

$F=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}$

where,

G = gravitational constant

When the distance between the two object doubles then the gravitational force is reduced by one fourth (1/4)th between objects.

When the distance between the two object triples then the gravitational force is reduced by one ninth (1/9)th between objects.

Gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance of two object.

Therefore, the gravitational force is reduced by the square of the distance between objects.

4. Compare how thermal and electrical energy transfer between objects and give an example of how you can

Leokris [45]

Answer:

4) we take a can of cold soda there is a transfer from hand to can. a current passes through a light bulb, it becomes incandescent and gives ligh

5) the law of energy conservation states that energy is neither created nor destroyed, therefore what happens is that you use energy and transform it into another type of energy,

Explanation:

4) This exercise is asked to give some examples of thermal and electrical energy transfer

the transfer of thermal energy occurs when we grasp a hot or cold body due to the difference in temperature between the body and us there is an exchange of heat, for example when drinking a cup of hot coffee there is a transfer of energy from the cup to the hand .

If we take a can of cold soda there is a transfer from hand to can.

Electrical transfer occurs, for example, when a current passes through a light bulb, it becomes incandescent and gives light.

In all modern electrical appliances there is transformation of electrical energy

5) the law of energy conservation states that energy is neither created nor destroyed, therefore what happens is that you use energy and transform it into another type of energy,

For example, when you lift a box, the potential energy of the box increases with height, but the energy of the person decreases because it does work that is negative.

In amusement park rides, the energy accumulated in one part of the game generally with height is transformed into energy of movement in another part of the game, but the total energy remains constant.

In the following diagrams the larger vector has a magnitude of 10, and the smaller

Anton [14]

the sum of vectors with the Pythagorean theorem allows us to find that the maximum magnitude occurs for the case:

d) the two vectors are parallel

Vectors are physical quantities that have modulus and direction, for example: force, velocity, acceleration, etc.

Vector algebra has defined the sum, the product by a scalar and by a vector. The modulus and the direction of the resulting vector must be encoded.

The sum of two quantities is done using the Pythagorean theorem

c² = a² + b²

where c is the resultant called hypotenuse, a and b are the summing vectors called legs; trigonometry is used for the direction.

Let's apply this expression to the present case

a, b) perpendicular vectors

c² = a² + b²

c = $\sqrt{6^2+10^2}$

c = 11.7

the magnitude is the same in both cases, changing the direction of the vector

c) Antiparallel vectors

For this case the vectors are collinear, so the sum reduces to the algebraic addition

c = a-b

c = 6 -10

c = -4

d) parallel vectors

c = a + b

c = 4 + 10

c = 14

We can see that the vectors addition gives their maximum and minimum values when the vectors are collinear.

In conclusion using the vectors addition we find that the correct answer is

d) the two vectors are parallel

Which of the following is a hypothesis?

inna [77]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hypothesis is one of the science methods. Hypothesis is the same as guessing. It's a scientific method that precedes observations.

According to the question asking that Which of the following is a hypothesis ?

The correct option is C which is

If a squid is attacked by a predator, it will squirt ink

It is an hypothesis because there is no experimental evidence to back it up.

Centripetal force is a centering force related to acceleration. The centripetal force when driving prevents which of the followi

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

C. The car from driving off the road on a curve

Explanation:

A centripetal force actually causes circular motion. This occurs when an object moves in a circular path or a circle,a force will definitely act on it.

For instance, a car travelling in a circular path must definitely experience this force acting on it, even when the car moves at a constant speed. If it does not exist the object will definitely spin off in a direction tangential to the circular path or curve.
