True or false gravitational pull decreases with an increase of distance between two objects​

Physics
1 answer:
ohaa [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

true! : )

(i underlined the place where the answer is the other information is just as important but if you do not want to read it you do not have to)

Explanation:

Since gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces. So as two objects are separated from each other, the force of gravitational attraction between them also decreases. the greater the mass, the greater the gravitational pull. <u>gravitational pull decreases with an increase in the distance between two objects.</u> Since gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces. So as two objects are separated from each other, the force of gravitational attraction between them also decreases.

What pushes against gravity in: a main sequence star, a white dwarf, a neutron star, and a black hole? electron degeneracy, neut
Inga [223]

Answer:

heat pressure, electron degeneracy, neutron degeneracy, and nothing

Explanation:

Main Sequence Star: It is a star in which nuclear fusion is happening in the core of the star. Hydrogen molecules fuse together to generate Helium. This nuclear fusion generates outward gas pressure and radiation pressure which balances the inward gravity thus creating an equilibrium which keeps the stars in shape.

White dwarf: It is the end stage of a medium sized star like the Sun. Outer layers of the star are thrown in the form a shell/bubble leaving a small and dense core in the center called as white dwarf. This core consists of carbon and oxygen. Nuclear fusion doesn't occur in the core of white dwarfs. The inward gravity is balanced by the electron degeneracy pressure. Thus these stars will keep on radiating the remaining heat and will turn in to a black dwarf at the end.

Neutron Star: This is the end stage of a supermassive star (1-3 times the mass of the Sun). At the last stage of the life the core collapses. In these stars the inward gravity is so huge that the pressure overcomes the electron degeneracy pressure and crushes together the electron and proton to form neutron. The neutron then stops the collapse and balances the inward gravity.

Black Hole: This is the end stage of a hyper massive stars weighing more than 3 times the mass of the Sun. The inward gravitational force is so huge that even the neutrons are not able to stop the collapse the core. thus the mass of the star collapses into a very small area of immense gravity. There is nothing that can balance this inward gravity.

Even though you are getting closer to the sun as you ascend into the toposphere, why does the temperature drop?
pishuonlain [190]

Answer: The lower areas of the Atmosphere have a high temperature through the heats from the ground.

Explanation: High temperature experienced on the Earth surface is majorly caused by heats from the ground ( Earth crust).As a person ascend up to the Toposphere the temperature continues to reduce because because the heat from the ground is reduced as the heights increased.

It has been proven that as a person ascends into the Toposphere the amount of air and pressure reduces this will eventually lead to expansion of the gas particles which will then reduce the temperature.

What are the two ost important processes in the oxygen in and out of the atmospher
BaLLatris [955]
Decomposing - When plants and animals die, they decompose. This process uses up oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. Rusting - This is also called oxidation. When things rust they use up oxygen.
