Answer:

F' = F/16

Explanation:

The gravitational force between masses is given by :

F=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{r^2}

If the distance between the center of two objects is quadrupled, r' = 4r

New force will be :

F'=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{r'^2}\\\\F'=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{(4r)^2}\\\\F'=\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{16r^2}\\\\F'=\dfrac{1}{16}\times \dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}\\\\F'=\dfrac{F}{16}

So, the new force will change by a factor of 16.

An 80-kg quarterback jumps straight up in the air right before throwing a 0.43-kg football horizontally at 15 m/s . How fast wil
Lilit [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply law of conservation of momentum .

m₁ v₁ = m₂ v₂

m₁ = 80 kg

v₁ = ?

m₂ = .43 kg

v₂ = 15 m /s

80 v₁ = .43 x 15

v₁ =  .43 x 15  / 80

= .08 m /s

8 cm /s

option A is correct.

Law of conservation of momentum is applied only where no external force acts . Here during the period when ball was thrown , apart from internal force , external force like gravitational force was also acting but we still applied this law because the time duration of action of throw was very small

so we neglected the effect of external force . So it was just an approximation.

A bike travels 4 miles in half an hour at what speed
Sloan [31]
8 miles per hour
because if it is moving at 4 miles every half hour that means you have to multiply it by two to get it in miles per hour and we all know that 4 times 2 is 8 so it would be 8 miles per hour =)

If the average gauge pressure in the vein is 12200 Pa, what must be the minimum height of the bag in order to infuse glucose int
Amanda [17]

Answer:

h = 1.22 m

Explanation:

Given:

Pressure in the vein = 12200 Pa

Specific gravity of the liquid  = 1.02

now,

the pressure due to a fluid is given as:

P = pgh

where,

P is the pressure,

ρ is the density of fluid = specific gravity x density of water = 1.02 x 1000 kg/m³

ρ = 1020 kg/m³

g is the acceleration due to the gravity = 9.81m/s²

h is the height

thus,

h = P/pg =\frac{12200}{1020\times 9.8}=1.22 m
