By definition, we have that the gravitational force is given by:
Where,
G: gravitational constant
m1: mass of object number 1
m2: mass of object number 2
r: distance between both objects.
Therefore, for the gravitational force to increase, the following conditions must be met:
1) Increase the mass of the objects so that the numerator of the equation is greater.
2) Decrease the distance between the objects so that the denominator of the equation is smaller.
Answer:
A change that will always result in an increase in the gravitational force between two objects is:
increasing the masses of the objects and decreasing the distance between the objects
Answer:
Block A
Explanation:
Block A will float higher in the water compared to the second Block.
The density of water is 1g/cm³.
According to the principle of floatation "an object that floats in a liquid will displace equal amount of fluid to the weight of the object".
A body will become more submerged in water if it has more density because density is the mass per volume of body.
An object with a higher density than another will sink in the liquid of the one with lesser density.
- Object A has lesser density and will float higher up and displace very little water.
- Object B has higher density and will be more submerged.
Answer:
The electromagnetic force
Explanation:
The electromagnetic force is one of the four fundamental forces of nature. Namely, they are:
- Electromagnetic force: it is the force exerted between electrically charged particles (and between magnetic fields). The force can be either attractive (if the two charges have opposite signs) or repulsive (if the two charges have same sign), and it acts over an infinite range.
- Gravitational force: it is the force exerted between objects with mass. It is always attractive, and it also has an infinite range of action. It is the weakest of the four fundamental forces.
- Strong nuclear force: it is the force that acts between protons and neutrons inside the nucleus, and it is responsible for keeping the nucleus together and preventing it from breaking apart (due to the electrostatic repulsion between protons)
- Weak nuclear force: it is the force responsible for certains nuclear decays, such as the beta decay, in which a neutron turns into a proton, emitting an electron and an antineutrino.
