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.

Light from a laser of wavelength λ1 shines normally on a pair of narrow slits separated by distance D. This results in a differe
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The angular position of first intensity maxima is given by the expression

= λ / d where λ is wave length of light and d is slit separation

putting the values given in the problem. ,

.02 = λ₁ / D

Now wavelength has been increased to 2λ₁

angular separation of first maxima

=  2λ₁ /D

= 2 x .02

= .04 radians.

PLEASE HELP
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

h = 1.8 m

Explanation:

The initial velocity of the glove, u =- 6 m/s

We need to find the maximum height of the glove. Let it is equal to h. Using equation of kinematics. At the maximum height v = 0

v^2-u^2=2ah, h is the maximum height and a = -g

0^2-(6)^2=2\times (-10)\times h\\\\h=\dfrac{36}{20}\\\\h=1.8\ m

Hence, it will go up to a height of 1.8 m.

Decreases, stays the same, increases. The volume decreases because as air is cooled, the individual molecules collectively possess less kinetic energy and the distances between them decrease, thus leading to a decrease in the volume they occupy at a certain pressure (please note that my answer only holds under constant pressure; air, as a gas, doesn't actually have a definite volume). The mass stays the same because physical processes do not create or destroy matter. The law of conservation of mass is obeyed. You're only cooling the air, not adding more air molecules. The density decreases because as the volume decreases and mass stays the same, you have the same mass occupying a smaller volume. Density is mass divided by volume, so as mass is held constant and volume decreases, density increases.

A ball is thrown upward with a speed of 40 m/s. Approximately how much time does it take the ball to travel from the release loc
zvonat [6]

I'm going to assume that this gripping drama takes place on planet Earth, where the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².  The solutions would be completely different if the same scenario were to play out in other places.

A ball is thrown upward with a speed of 40 m/s.  Gravity decreases its upward speed (increases its downward speed) by 9.8 m/s every second.

So, the ball reaches its highest point after (40 m/s)/(9.8 m/s²) = <em>4.08 seconds</em>. At that point, it runs out of upward gas, and begins falling.

Just like so many other aspects of life, the downward fall is an exact "mirror image" of the upward trip.  After another 4.08 seconds, the ball has returned to the height of the hand which flung it.  In total, the ball is in the air for <em>8.16 seconds</em> up and down.
