Gravitational force depends on inverse square law. That is, gravitational force is inversely proportional to square of distance between asteroids.
As distance between them decreases, gravitational force increases. Hence A is correct.
Mirrors reflect light waves.
Potential energy decreases and kinetic energy increases.
Potential energy is related to the height, since the wagon is going downhill, height decreases and potential energy decreases.
Kinetic energy is related to the speed, since the wagon is speeding up, kinetic energy increases.
Answer:
Trial 1 is the largest, trial 3 is the smallest
Explanation:
Given:
<em>Trial 1</em>
M₁ = 6·10²² kg
d₁ = 3 500 km = 3.5·10⁶ м
<em>Trial 2</em>
M₂ = 6·10²² kg
d₂ = 7 000 km = 7·10⁶ м
<em>Trial 3</em>
M₃ = 3·10²² kg
d₃ = 7 000 km = 7·10⁶ м
___________
F - ?
Gravitational force:
F₁ = G·m·M₁ / d₁² = m·6.67·10⁻¹¹·6·10²² / (3.5·10⁶)² = 0.37·m (N)
F₂ = G·m·M₂ / d₂² = m·6.67·10⁻¹¹·6·10²² / (7·10⁶)² = 0.08·m (N)
F₃ = G·m·M₃ / d₃² = m·6.67·10⁻¹¹·3·10²² / (7·10⁶)² = 0.04·m (N)
Trial 1 is the largest, trial 3 is the smallest
