The gravitational force <em>F</em> between two masses <em>M</em> and <em>m</em> a distance <em>r</em> apart is

<em>F</em> = <em>G M m</em> / <em>r</em> ²

Decrease the distance by a factor of 7 by replacing <em>r</em> with <em>r</em> / 7, and decrease both masses by a factor of 8 by replacing <em>M</em> and <em>m</em> with <em>M</em> / 8 and <em>m</em> / 8, respectively. Then the new force <em>F*</em> is

<em>F*</em> = <em>G </em>(<em>M</em> / 8) (<em>m</em> / 8) / (<em>r</em> / 7)²

<em>F*</em> = (1/64 × <em>G M m</em>) / (1/49 × <em>r</em> ²)

<em>F*</em> = 49/64 × <em>G M m</em> / <em>r</em> ²

In other words, the new force is scaled down by a factor of 49/64 ≈ 0.7656, so the new force has magnitude approx. 76.56 N.

No, it couldn't be.
On that scale, Neptune would be almost 1,740 MILES from the sun.

What do you mean by kintic theory of matter​
Zanzabum

Answer:

The Kinetic Theory of Matter states that matter is composed of a large number of small particles—individual atoms or molecules—that are in constant motion. This theory is also called the Kinetic-Molecular Theory of Matter and the Kinetic Theory of Gases.

Explanation:

The theory is practically stating all matter is pretty much filled with kinetic energy and kinetic as you learn in 6th grade, means to be in motion. So its just saying that all matter is non-stop moving.

If an object is traveling along at a constant velocity and there is friction acting on the object, what can be concluded about t
GalinKa [24]
These forces will slow the object down unless there is no gravity acting on it.

An internal combustion engine does 356 kJ of useful work using 946 kJ of thermal energy from the gasoline consumed in the engine
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

The efficiency of this engine is 37.63 %.

Explanation:

Given;

useful output work done by the combustion engine, = 356 kJ

input work, = 946 kJ

The efficiency of the combustion engine is calculated as;

Efficiency = \frac{0utput \ work}{1nput \ work} \times 100\%\\\\Efficiency = \frac{356 \ \times \ 10^3}{946 \ \times \ 10^3} \times 100\%\\\\Efficiency = 37.63 \ \%

Therefore, the efficiency of this engine is 37.63 %.
