Answer:

d. Two soccer balls that are touching each other

Explanation:

Let m_1 be the mass of a tennis ball, m_2 is the mass of a soccer ball.

As the mass of a soccer ball is more than the mass of a tennis ball, so

m_2 > m_1

Let d_1 be the distance between the centers of both the balls near each other and d_2 be the distance between the centers of both the balls touching each other.

So, d_2 > d_1

The gravitational force, F, between the two objects having masses M and m and separated by distance d is

F=\frac{GMm}{d^2}

Where G is the universal gravitational constant.

As, the gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of both the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them,  so selecting the larger mass (m_2, soccer ball) separated by a lesser distance (d_2, touching) to get more gravitational force.

Therefore, there will be a larger gravitational force between them when two soccer balls touching each other.

Hence, option (d) is correct.

What is the gravitational potential energy of a 15.0kg object that is 5.00m above the ground relative to a point 8.00m above the
Licemer1 [7]

Explanation:

an object's gravitational potential energy Eg is m×g×h where:

m=mass

g=9.8m/s²

h=height relative to the closest object below it (because it cannot potentially fall through it

so Eg = 15×9.8×5=735J

Which statement best explains the speed of light waves as they travel from gas to solid?
igomit [66]

Answer:

Light waves slow down as they travel from gas to solid.

Explanation:

The speed of light is often quoted with reference to a vacuum. Light travels fastest in a vacuum and in a gas.

When light travels through other media such as solids or liquids, the speed of light is decreased due to absorption and scattering of photons by molecules as well as remissions.

Hence the speed of light decreases from gas to solid.
