Answer:

So an object with mass is attracted to another object with mass, and the gravitational force is directly proportional to the masses of the two objects, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects.

If distance were to increase, than the gravitational force would decrease. If mass were to increase, so would the gravitational force.

Explanation:

Lets take gravitational force(F) and mass(m) and distance (r)

now for a body in contact with the surface of the earth, its mass is also considered(m‘),now the mass of the earth(m") is also considered,then the distance from the body to the center of the earth (r).ie it r because its practically the radius of the earth. is also considered

So by using dimensional analysis ....

we get F a m'•m"/r² ,where a is proportional to.

now since F is directly increaseproportional to m ie. F a m, then an increase in mass of the body increases it's gravitational force(and clearly that makes sense because the bigger you are the stronger you get pulled to the ground)

then we also see that F is inversely proportional to r ie.F a 1/r ,then an increase in the distance between the ground an the object decrease it's gravitational force ( meaning as any object on earth keeps on moving away from the ground the gravitational force between the object and the center of the earth is weak, when it reaches space then the force becomes virtually negligible!)

So to answer the second question, we clearly see that doubling the mass of the body increases the gravitational force between it and the earth

and doubling the distance on the other hand will decrease the attraction between the body and the earth

So a body forcefully projected into the air fights against gravity but its easier as it keeps on getting higher, If it has a greater mass like that of a trail or truck , it will not even probably stay in the air for long , unless its projected with a very high velocity

I hope this helps, and you can ask me any question concerning this via the comments platform.

Suppose you see two main-sequence stars of the exact same spectral type. Star 1 is dimmer in apparent brightness than Star 2 by

katrin2010 [14]

Options:

A. The luminosity of Star 1 is a factor of 100 less than the luminosity of Star 2.

B. Star 1 is 100 times more distant than Star 2.

C. Without first knowing the distances to these stars, you cannot draw any conclusions about how their true luminosities compare to each other.

D. Star 1 is 10 times more distant than Star 2.

E. Star 1 is 100 times nearer than Star 2.

Answer:

D. Star 1 is 10 times more distant than star 2

Explanation:

For two stars of identical size and temperature, the closer one to us will appear brighter. The relationship between the distance and luminosity of stars is an inverse- square relationship.

Luminosity, L = 1/r²

Where r is the distance of the star to the earth

Since star 1 is dimmer in brightness than star 2 by a factor of 100,

L₁/L₂ = 1/100

i.e. L₁ = 1, L₂=100

L₁ = 1/r₁² ............(1)

1 = 1/r₁²

L₂ = 1/r₂²

100 = 1/r₂² .........(2)

divide equation (2) by equation (1)

100/1 = ( 1/r₂² )/ (1/r₁²)

100 = (r₁/r₂)²

r₁/r₂ = √100

r₁/r₂ = 10

r₁ = 10r₂

Why is a suction effect experienced by a person standing close to the platform at a station when a fast train passes?

SSSSS [86.1K]

I’m pretty sure it’s the caused by the pressure difference. Things always want to move from high to low pressure so the interior would be higher pressure than the outside. Which causes the suction effect

The orbital radius of the Earth (from Earth to Sun) is 1.496 x 10^11 m.

mrs_skeptik [129]

Explanation:

The orbital radius of the Earth is $r_1=1.496\times 10^{11}\ m$

The orbital radius of the Mercury is $r_2=5.79 \times 10^{10}\ m$

The orbital radius of the Pluto is $r_3=5.91 \times 10^{12}\ m$

We need to find the time required for light to travel from the Sun to each of the three planets.

(a) For Sun -Earth,

Kepler's third law :

$T_1^2=\dfrac{4\pi ^2}{GM}r_1^3$

M is mass of sun, $M=1.989\times 10^{30}\ kg$

So,

$T_1^2=\dfrac{4\pi ^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}}\times 1.496\times 10^{11}\\\\T_1=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\pi^{2}}{6.67\times10^{-11}\times1.989\times10^{30}}\times1.496\times10^{11}}\\\\T_1=2\times 10^{-4}\ s$

(b) For Sun -Mercury,

$T_2^2=\dfrac{4\pi ^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}}\times 5.79 \times 10^{10}\ m\\\\T_2=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\pi^{2}}{6.67\times10^{-11}\times1.989\times10^{30}}\times 5.79 \times 10^{10}}\ m\\\\T_2=1.31\times 10^{-4}\ s$

$T_3^2=\dfrac{4\pi ^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}}\times 5.91 \times 10^{12}\\\\T_3=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\pi^{2}}{6.67\times10^{-11}\times1.989\times10^{30}}\times 5.91 \times 10^{12}}\\\\T_3=1.32\times 10^{-3}\ s$
