Explanation:

Fgravity = G*(mass1*mass2)/D²

G is the gravitational constant throughout the universe.

D is the distance between the 2 objects.

the distance is now quadrupled.

Fgravitynew = G*(mass1*mass2)/(4D)² =

= G*(mass1*mass2)/(16D²) =

= (G*(mass1*mass2)/D²) / 16 = Fgravity/16

the new gravitational force will be 179/16 = 11.1875 units

uniform electric field of magnitude 365 N/C pointing in the positive x-direction acts on an electron, which is initially at rest
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

a)   W = - 1.752 10⁻¹⁸ J,  b)    U = + 1.752 10⁻¹⁸ J

Explanation:

a) work is defined by

         W = F . x

the bold letters indicate vectors, in this case the force is electric

         F = q E

we substitute

         F = q E x

the charge of the electron is

         q = - e

         F = - e E x

let's calculate

         W = - 1.6 10⁻¹⁹  365  3 10⁻²

         W = - 1.752 10⁻¹⁸ J

b) the change in potential energy is

          U = q ΔV

the potential difference is

          ΔV = - E. Δs

 

we substitute

         U = - q E Δs

the charge of the electron is

           q = - e

          U = e E Δs

we calculate

           U = 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ 365  3 10⁻²

           U = + 1.752 10⁻¹⁸ J

A plane flying against a jet stream will travel faster than a plane traveling with a jet stream. Please select the best answer f
stepan [7]

"with the wind" is a tail-wind, and the speeds are added to get the groundspeed.

"against the wind" is a head-wind, and the windspeed is subtracted from the airspeed.

Which statements about Earth’s core help explain Earth’s magnetic field? Check all that apply.
Stella [2.4K]

All the statements can be used to explain about Earth's magnetic field.

Earth's magnetic field is almost same to that of the bar magnet. The magnetic field of the earth occurs from its core. It has an inner core which is solid in nature. in the outer core, there is a motion of the liquid due to heat flow from the inner core to the core mantle boundary which proves that the outer core is liquid and moving. The Earth's core consists of iron and nickel as the Eddy currents in the iron and nickel liquid helps generating the Earth's magnetic field.

Hence, all the three statements are true and can be used to explain the Earth's magnetic field.

If only 10 pounds is required to lift a 500-lb block, how much chain must be played out to lift the engine 3.0 inches?
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

150 inches (12.5 ft)

Explanation:

The work done to lift the 500 pound block 3 inches should be the same as that to lift the 10 pond object a given distance.

The following is the equation one needs to solve:

10 \,lb\,* \,x\,=\,500\,lb\,*\,3\,in\\10 \,lb\,* \,x\,=\,1500\,lb\,in\\

therefore solving for the distance "x" gives as the answer (in inches):

10 \,lb\,* \,x\,=\,1500\,lb\,in\\x\,=\,\frac{1500\,lb\,in}{10\,lb} \\\\x\,=150\,in

which can also be given in feet as: 12.5 ft

What are the potential out comes of force
AysviL [449]

Answer:

F in the definition of potential energy is the force exerted by the force field, e.g., gravity, spring force, etc. The potential energy U is equal to the work you must do against that force to move an object from the U=0 reference point to the position r.
