The change that will always result in an increase in the gravitational force between two objects is increasing the masses of the objects and decreasing the distance between the objects.

(a) and (b) can increase the gravitational attraction between two objects
IF you pick the increase and decrease just so, but not always.

(d) will always decrease the gravitational force between them.

(c) is the only choice that will always increase the gravitational force between them, no matter how much the increase and the decrease are.

We are given the description of an enclosure that has fencing on 3 sides and can use 3,056 yards of fencing. We are to find the
shusha [124]

Answer:

The sum of the lengths of the sides is 2292 yards and the sum of the lengths of the triangle is 3056 yards

Explanation:

Since y represents the length of fence that is opposite (parallel) to the river and x represent the length of fence perpendicular to the river.

Therefore since we can use 3,056 yards of fencing

Side perpendicular to the river = x and,

Side opposite to the river = y = 3056 - 2x

The area of the rectangle formed (A) = Perpendicular side × Parallel side

∴ A = x(3056 - 2x) = 3056x - 2x²

A = 3056x - 2x²

To maximize the area, A' (dA/dx) = 0

∴ A' = 3056 - 4x = 0

3056 - 4x = 0

4x = 3056

x = 764 yards

y =  3056 - 2x = 3056 - 2(764) = 1528 yards.

Side perpendicular to the river = 764 yards and,

Side opposite to the river = 1528 yards

The sum of the lengths of the sides = 764 + 1528 = 2292 yard and the sum of the lengths of the triangle = 764 + 764 + 1528 = 3056 yards

Is a neutron star also a black hole?
coldgirl [10]

No.  A neutron star is the weird remains of a star that blew its outer layers off
in a nova event, and then had enough mass left so that gravity crushed its
electrons into its protons, and then what was left of it shrank down to a sphere
of unimaginably dense neutron soup.  But it didn't have enough mass to go
any farther than that.

A black hole is the remains of a star that had enough mass to go even farther
than that.  No force in the universe was able to stop it from contracting, so it
kept contracting until its mass occupied no volume ... zero.  It became even
more weird, and is composed of a substance that we don't know anything about
and can't describe, and occupies zero volume.

Contrary to popular fairy tales, a black hole doesn't reach out and "suck things in".
It's just so small (zero) that things can get very close to it.  You know that gravity
gets stronger as you get closer to an object, so if the object has no size at all, you
can get really really close to it, and THAT's where the gravity gets really strong.
You may weigh, let's say, 100 pounds on the Earth.  But you're like 4,000 miles
from the center of the Earth.  What if all of the earth's mass was crammed into
the size of a bean.  Then you could get 1 inch from it, and at that distance from
the mass of the Earth, you would weigh 25,344,000,000 pounds. 
But Earth's mass is not enough to make a black hole.  That takes a minimum
of about 3 times the mass of the sun, which is right about 1 million times the
Earth's mass.   THEN you can get a lightweight black hole.
Do you see how it works now ?

I know.  It all seems too fantastic to be true. 
It sure does.

A stone initially moving at 8.0 m/s on a level surface comes to rest due to friction after it travels 11 m. What is the coeffici
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

Coefficient of friction will be 0.296

Explanation:

We have given initial speed of the stone u = 8 m /sec

It comes to rest so final speed v = 0 m /sec

Distance traveled before coming to rest s = 11 m

According to third equation of motion

v^2=u^2+2as

So 0^2=8^2+2\times a\times 11

a=\frac{-64}{22}=-2.90m/sec^2

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8m/sec^2

We know that acceleration is given by

a=\mu g

So 2.90=9.8\times \mu \\

\mu =\frac{2.9}{9.8}=0.296

So coefficient of friction will be 0.296
