Answer:  It banks night-time cool to bring temperatures down in the day, and warms up over the course of the day and then releases the warmth at night. Thick walls or exposed solid floors can provide thermal mass. The shape of buildings matters too, and the orientation around each other so that the wind moves in particular ways. Hope this helps, tell me if I need to add anything. :))

Two particles are located on the x axis. particle 1 has a mass m and is at the origin. particle 2 has a mass 2m and is at x = +l
wlad13 [49]

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

<span>
The force on m is:</span>

<span>
GMm / x^2 + Gm(2m) / L^2 = 2[Gm (2m) / L^2] -> 1

The force on 2m is:</span>

<span>
GM(2m) / (L - x)^2 + Gm(2m) / L^2 = 2[Gm (2m) / L^2] -> 2

From (1), you’ll get M = 2mx^2 / L^2 and from (2) you get M = m(L - x)^2 / L^2 

Since the Ms are the same, then 

2mx^2 / L^2 = m(L - x)^2 / L^2 

2x^2 = (L - x)^2 

xsqrt2 = L - x 

x(1 + sqrt2) = L 

x = L / (sqrt2 + 1) From here, we rationalize. 

x = L(sqrt2 - 1) / (sqrt2 + 1)(sqrt2 - 1) 

x = L(sqrt2 - 1) / (2 - 1) 


x = L(sqrt2 - 1) </span>

 

= 0.414L

 

<span>Therefore, the third particle should be located the 0.414L x axis so that the magnitude of the gravitational force on both particle 1 and particle 2 doubles.</span>

The center of gravity of a basketball is located _______.
zhenek [66]

Answer:

at its centre

Explanation:

The centre of gravity is a point inside the body where entire weight os the body is said to be concentrated. For geometrical symmetric bodies it lies at the geometric centre of the body.

The base ball is a spherical body, so its centre of gravity lies at its centre.
