Objects 1 and 2 attract each other with a gravitational force of 12 units. If the mass of Object 2 is tripled, then the new grav

olasank [31]

Explanation:

Fgravity = G*(mass1*mass2)/D².

G is the gravitational constant, which has the same value throughout our universe.

D is the distance between the objects.

so, if you triple one of the masses, what does that do to our equation ?

Fgravitynew = G*(3*mass1*mass2)/D²

due to the commutative property of multiplication

Fgravitynew = 3* G*(mass1*mass2)/D² = 3* Fgravity

so, the right answer is 3×12 = 36 units.

Compute the dot product of the vectors u and v, and find the angle between the vectors. Bold v equals 7 Bold i minus Bold j and

OLga [1]

Answer:

$\theta = 106.3 degree$

Explanation:

As we know that

$\vec w = -\hat i + 7\hat j$

$\vec v = 7\hat i - \hat j$

also we know that

$\vec v. \vec w = -14$

it is given as

$\vec v. \vec w = (-\hat i + 7\hat j).(7\hat i - \hat j)$

$\vec v. \vec w = - 7 - 7 = -14$

also we can find the magnitude of two vectors as

$|v| = \sqrt{(-1)^2 + (7)^2}$

$|v| = \sqrt{50}$

similarly we have

$|w| = \sqrt{(7^2) + (-1)^2}$

$|w| = \sqrt{50}$

now we know the formula of dot product as

$\vec v. \vec w = |v||w| cos\theta$

$-14 = (\sqrt{50})^2cos\theta$

$\theta = cos^{-1}(\frac{-14}{50})$

$\theta = 106.3 degree$

The answer is: the building codes, which are a set of rules that regulate the conditions that a building must meet. Those requirements are very important to guarantee safety of both the people who are building it and the people who are going to work or live inside of the building in the future

The eyepiece of a compound telescope has a focal length of 12 cm and the objective lens has a focal length of 16 m. What is the

olasank [31]

Answer:

The magnification is 133X

Explanation:

For a refractor telescope using convex lenses, the overall magnification os calculated as by dividing the focal length of the objective by that of the eyepiece.

$M = \frac{f(obj)}{f(eye)}$

So:

$M = \frac{16 m}{12 cm}$

Care must be taken with the units, in this case they are in meters and centimeters, they should be converted into the same unit before calculating:

$M = \frac{16 m}{0.12 m} = 133$
