Answer:

<em>If the distance doubles, the gravitational force is divided by 4</em>

Explanation:

<u>Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation </u>

Objects attract each other with a force that is proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance.

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

Where:

m1 = mass of object 1

m2 = mass of object 2

r     = distance between the objects' center of masses

G   = gravitational constant: 6.67\cdot 10^{-11}~Nw*m^2/Kg^2

If the distance between the interacting objects doubles to 2r, the new force F' is:

\displaystyle F'=G{\frac {m_{1}m_{2}}{(2r)^{2}}}

Operating:

\displaystyle F'=\frac{1}{4}G{\frac {m_{1}m_{2}}{r^{2}}}

Substituting the original value of F:

\displaystyle F'=\frac{1}{4}F

If the distance doubles, the gravitational force is divided by 4

he electronics supply company where you work has two different resistors, R1 and R2, in its inventory, and you must measure the
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

R₁ = 50.77 Ω

Explanation:

Since, we know that:

Electric Power = P = VI

but from Ohm's Law:

V = IR

(or) I = V/R

Therefore,

P = V²/R

(OR) R = V²/P

where,

V = Battery Voltage

R = Resistance of combination

FOR SERIES COMBINATION:

R = Rs = (57 V)²/48 W

Rs = 67.69 Ω

but, we know that:

Rs = R₁ + R₂

R₁ + R₂ = 67.69 Ω

R₁ = 67.69 Ω - R₂  __________ eqn (1)

FOR PARALLEL COMBINATION:

R = Rp = (57 V)²/256 W

Rp = 12.69 Ω

but, we know that:

Rp = (R₁R₂)/(R₁ + R₂) = 12.69 Ω

using eqn (1) and value of R₁ + R₂, we get

Rp = 12.69  = R₂(67.69 - R₂)/67.69

859.08 = 67.69 R₂ - R₂²

R₂² - 67.69 R₂ + 859.08 = 0

Solving this quadratic equation we get the answers:

Either, R₂ = 50.76 Ω

Either, R₂ = 16.92 Ω

Since, it is stated in the question that R₁ > R₂. Therefore, we choose the second value. So,

<u>R₂ = 16.92 Ω</u>

using this value in eqn (1), we get:

R₁ = 67.69 Ω - 16.92 Ω

<u>R₁ = 50.77 Ω</u>

Which is the one factor that adds to the greenhouse effect? 1. a decrease in the amount of dust in the atmosphere 2. a decrease
lukranit [14]

Answer:

an increase in gasses that absorb heat

Explanation:

Greenhouse effect refers to the gradual increase in the earth's temperature due to an increase in the concentration of certain gases in the atmosphere. These gases are called greenhouse gases and they include; water vapour, nitrogen 1 oxide, carbon IV oxide etc. Green house effect is said to occur when heat radiating outwards from the earth surface towards space is trapped close to the earth's surface due to the presence of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Greenhouse effect leads to increase in the temperature of the earth, melting of polar ice caps and possibly flooding due to a rise in sea levels.

Greenhouse gases act as glass in a greenhouse. They allow heat to pass through onto the earth surface but trap the heat and prevent it from being radiated outwards back to space. Thereby increasing the surface temperature of the earth.
