According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, the force F between two bodies of constant mass m and M is given by the form

ula F = G m M d 2 , where G is the gravitational constant and d is the distance between the bodies. a. Suppose that are constants. Find the rate of change of force F with respect to distance d .

Answer:

One can write F = K d^-2  where K = G M m

So dF/dd = -2 K d^-3 =   -2 K / d^3    (As d increases F decreases - it is opposite to the direction of F)

const2013 [10]

Answer:

Poke or kick the boxes. The sand box is the one that resists the most

Explanation:

The one that resists the most a change in motion (inertia) is the one with the greater mass—the  one filled with sand. Since we cannot open the boxes or perform any weight measurement we can distinguish them by their inertia. Sand has greater mass and thus greater inertia

What is the flow of energy from the falling water to the steam?
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

The flow of energy from falling water to the steam is;

a) Mechanical → Mechanical → Electrical → Thermal → Thermal

Explanation:

1) Mechanical → Mechanical

The water in the pipe before it falls possesses potential energy which it converts into kinetic energy as it falls from height

2) Mechanical → Mechanical

The water falling from the pipe stream unto the turbine wheel transfers its kinetic (mechanical) energy due to its motion on to the turbine wheel to give the wheel rotational motion

3) Mechanical → Electrical

The kinetic (mechanical) energy from the rotating turbine wheel is converted into electrical energy in the electrical generator which transported through the electrical circuit

4) Electrical → Thermal

The electrical energy from the electric current is then converted into thermal energy as the current passes through the resistors in the heating filament

5) Thermal → Thermal

The heated filament transfers thermal energy to the the water in the beaker by conduction which raises the temperature of the water such that as the water acquires more thermal energy it turns into steam

Therefore, we have the flow of energy from the falling water to steam as follows;

1) Mechanical 2) Mechanical 3) Electrical 4) Thermal 5) Thermal

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

C. Roadway

Explanation:

"Potholes" are considered major contributors of vehicle accidents. This is the reason why the roadway is often maintained by the government. This happens due to natural <em>wear-and-tear situations</em> or to<em> a base that has not been properly compacted. </em>

There are primarily<u> four main causes of accidents</u>: t<em>he driver, the vehicle, the roadway and the weather.</em> In the situation above, it is obviously clear that the "roadway" is the one involved in the situation. The condition or state of the road is a factor that also contributes to accidents. Such potholes should be repaired.

So, this explains the answer.
