2 answers:

7 0

Light waves do not need a medium in which to travel but sound waves do. Explain that unlike sound, light waves travel fastest through a vacuum and air, and slower through other materials such as glass or water.

Answer: $F_{2}=\frac{3}{4}F_{1}$

Explanation:

According to Newton's law of universal gravitation:

$F=G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}$

Where:

$F$ is the module of the force exerted between both bodies

$G$ is the universal gravitation constant.

$m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ are the masses of both bodies.

$r$ is the distance between both bodies

In this case we have two situations:

1) Two bags with masses $4M$ and $4M$ mutually exerting a gravitational attraction $F_{1}$ on each other:

$F_{1}=G\frac{(4M)(4M)}{r^2}$ (1)

$F_{1}=G\frac{16M^2}{r^2}$ (2)

$F_{1}=16\frac{GM^2}{r^2}$ (3)

2) Two bags with masses $2M$ and $6M$ mutually exerting a gravitational attraction $F_{2}$ on each other (assuming the distance between both bags is the same as situation 1):

$F_{2}=G\frac{(2M)(6M)}{r^2}$ (4)

$F_{2}=G\frac{12M^2}{r^2}$ (5)

$F_{2}=12\frac{GM^2}{r^2}$ (6)

Now, if we isolate $\frac{GM^2}{r^2}$ from (3):

$\frac{F_{1}}{16}=\frac{GM^2}{r^2}$ (7)

Substituting $\frac{GM^2}{r^2}$ found in (7) in (6):

$F_{2}=12(\frac{F_{1}}{16})$ (8)

$F_{2}=\frac{12}{16}F_{1}$ (9)

Simplifying, we finally get the expression for $F_{2}$ in terms of $F_{1}$ :

$F_{2}=\frac{3}{4}F_{1}$

The amount of energy the body uses when at rest is referred to as _____.

Nesterboy [21]

The answer is Basal Metabolic Rate. It is the total amount of energy expressed in calories that an individual needs to keep the body working at rest. Some of those progressions are blood circulation, breathing, cell growth, controlling body temperature, nerve and brain function, and tightening of muscles.
