Answer:

the distance should be changed by a factor of √2

Explanation:

The attractive force between the couples can be given by Newton's Law of Gravitation:

F =\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

where,

F = Attractive Force

G = Universal Gravitational Constant

m₁ = mass of the first person

m₂ = mass of the second person

r = distance between them

Now, if we want to halve the force without changing masses, hen:

F' = \frac{1}{2} F = \frac{1}{2} \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}\\\\F' = \frac{1}{2} F = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{(\sqrt{2}r)^2}<u></u>

<u>Hence, it is clear that the distance should be changed by a factor of √2</u>

A 265 g mass attached to a horizontal spring oscillates at a frequency of 3.40 Hz . At t =0s, the mass is at x= 6.20 cm and has
lara [203]

Answer:

The phase constant is 7.25 degree  

Explanation:

given data

mass = 265 g

frequency = 3.40 Hz

time t = 0 s

x = 6.20 cm

vx = - 35.0 cm/s

solution

as phase constant is express as

y = A cosФ ..............1

here A is amplitude that is = \sqrt{(\frac{v_x}{\omega })^2+y^2 }  = \sqrt{(\frac{35}{2\times \pi  \times y})^2+6.2^2 }  =  6.25 cm

put value in equation 1

6.20 = 6.25 cosФ

cosФ  = 0.992

Ф = 7.25 degree  

so the phase constant is 7.25 degree

Give an example of hypothesis for an experiment and then identify its dependent and independent variables. Write all the steps o
e-lub [12.9K]
An example of a hypothesis for an experiment might be: “A basketball will bounce higher if there is more air it”

Step one would be to make an observation... “hey, my b-ball doesn’t have much air in it, and it isn’t bouncing ver high”

Step two is to form your hypothesis: “A basketball will bounce higher if there is more air it”

Step three is to test your hypothesis: maybe you want to drop the ball from a certain height, deflate it by some amount and then drop it from that same height again, and record how high the ball bounced each time.


Here the independent variable is how much air is in the basketball (what you want to change) and the dependent variable is how high the b-ball will bounce (what will change as a result of the independent variable)

Step four is to record all of your results and step five is to analyze that data. Does your data support your hypothesis? Why or why not?

You should only test one variable at a time because it is easier to tell why the results are how they are; you only have one cause.

Hope this helps!

When you attract every object in the universe with a force that is proportional to the mass of the objects and to the distance b
yuradex [85]

When you attract every object in the universe with a force that is proportional to the mass of the objects and to the distance between them, we are obeying Newton's law of universal gravitation.

<h3>Newton's law of universal gravitation</h3>

Newton's law of universal gravitation states that the force of attraction between two masses in the universe is directly proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the the square of the distance between them.

The mathematical interpretation of the above law is

  • F ∝Mm/r²

Removing the proportionality sign,

  • F = GMm/r².

Where:

  • F = Force of attraction
  • G = Gravitational constant
  • M = Bigger mass
  • m = Smaller mass
  • r = Distance between the masses.

From the above, When you attract every object in the universe with a force that is proportional to the mass of the objects and to the distance between them, we are obeying Newton's law of universal gravitation.
