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.

Megan was doing time trials on her bike around a 400m horizontal track. She took 32 seconds to travel 400m. What was her average
Mars2501 [29]
To find average speed, we divide the distance of travel (in this case, 400 metres) by the time she took, 32 seconds.  Therefore: 12.5 seconds is her average speed.

A kite suspended in the sky is flowing back and forth. Which type of friction is being described?
Mice21 [21]

The type of friction of a kite suspended in the sky that is flowing back and forth is fluid friction. The fluid here is the air that helps the kite move back and forth. The kite feels a drag force due to air which acts in the upward direction.

A pickup truck is being driven down the highway carrying eight 100 gallon fish tank full of water. A hole is punctured in each t
irakobra [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

The velocity of the vehicle would increase because the the tanks (when filled with water) must have exerted a force which would reduce the velocity of the vehicle at a certain pressure on the gas pedal. Note that force equals mass multiplied by acceleration; as the mass decreases, so the force decreases. Thus, when the mass exerted by this tanks (on the vehicle) decrease as a result of the hole punctured in them, the force exerted by the tanks would also decrease causing an increase in velocity of the pick up truck when the same pressure is applied on the gas pedal throughout (before and after the puncture).

The conservation law that applied here is the law of conservation of energy which states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another. This is because the energy the vehicle used in carrying the load (the tanks) was transformed to the energy that resulted in increasing  it's velocity (no new energy was formed as the pressure on the gas pedal remained the same).
