Answer:

The force becomes 16 times what it is now.

Explanation:

The formula for gravitational force is

F = G * m1 * m2 / r^2

When you do what you have described, you are setting a stage that not even the USS Enterprise (Star Trek) can get out of. The increase is huge.

If you double m1 and m2 and don't do anything to r, you've already increased the force by 4 times. (2m1 * 2m2 = 4 * m1 * m2)

But you are not finished. If you 1/2 the distance, you are again increasing the Force by 4 times. 1 / (2r) ^2 = 1/ 4* r^2

Because this is in the denominator, the 1/4 is going to flip to the numerator.

So the total increase is going to be 4 * (4 * m1 * m2) = 16 * m1 * m2.

Think about what that means. If you were out golfing, your drives would be roughly 1/16 times as far as they are now. Also you would be lugging around 16 times your weight around the golf course. My feeling is that you would never finish 5 holes at that rate.

Two technicians are discussing fuse testing. Technician A says that a test light should light on both test points of the fuse if

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

C. Both technicians A and B

Explanation:

Both technicians are absolutely correct because a functional test light is meant to light on both test point if the fuse is working fine which implies that, if the test light doesn't light on both sides then there must be a fault with the fuse. So, both technicians A and B are very correct.

A biker pedals with a constant acceleration to reach a velocity of 7.5m/s over 4.5s. During the period of acceleration, the bike

Flura [38]

Given:

v(final velocity)= 7.5 m/s

t(time taken to pedal along)=4.5 s

Displacement (s)=19 m

Now we know that

s=ut+1/2(at^2)

Where s is the displacement measured in m

u is the initial velocity measured in m/sec

a is the acceleration measured in m/s^2.

t is the time taken to cover this distance.

Substituting the given values in the above formula we get

19= 4.5u+1/2(a x 4.5 x 4.5)

20.25 a + 9 u = 38

Now we also know that

v= u + at

Substituting the given values in the above formula we get

7.5= u + 4.5a

Solving for u and a from the above equations we get

u = 0.944m/s

a= 1.45 m/s^2

Thus the initial velocity is 0.944 m/s
