Explanation:

Fgravity = G*(mass1*mass2)/D²

G is the gravitational constant throughout the universe.

D is the distance between both objects.

D is now reduced by a factor of 5, meaning Dnew = D/5 we get

Fgravitynew = G*(mass1*mass2)/(D/5)² =

= G*(mass1*mass2)/(D²/25) =

= 25* G*(mass1*mass2)/D² = 25* Fgravity

the new force of gravity/attraction is 25×16 = 400 units.

A spring has a spring constant of 20 N/m. How much potential energy is stored in the spring as it stretched 0.20 m
makkiz [27]
The elastic potential energy (Ep) is given by Ep = \frac{1}{2}*k*x^2

Data: 
Ep = ? (Joule)
k = 20 N/m
x (displacement) = 0.20 m

Solving:
Ep = \frac{1}{2}*k*x^2
Ep = \frac{1}{2}*20*0.20^2
Ep =  \frac{20*0.04}{2}
Ep =  \frac{0.8}{2}
\boxed{\boxed{Ep = 0.4\:J}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark

Arada [10]
If you are under a tree, they kind of act like lightning rods, so stay away from trees, so roll in dat grass. Fun Fact: Lightning comes from the ground more than it comes from the sky, its like when you rub a blanket on your head, some lil' lightnings come from your head while a little come from the blanket, its the same with grass and clouds only, 10000 volts stronger and deadly.

Determine the density of a rectangular piece of concrete that measures 3.7 cm by 2.1 cm by 5.8 cm and has a mass of 43.8 grams.
Novay_Z [31]
It is customary to work in SI units.

Calculate the volume of the concrete.
V = 3.7*2.1*5.8 cm³ = 45.066 cm³ = 45.066 x 10 ⁻⁶ m³

The mass is  43.8 g = 43.8 x 10⁻³ kg

The density is mass/volume.
Density = (43.8 x 10⁻³ kg)/(45.066 x 10⁻⁶ m³) = 971.9 kg/m³

Answer: 971.9 kg/m³

When two equal forces act on the same object in opposite directions, what is the net force?
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

0

Explanation:

Forces with equal magnitudes and opposite directions cancel each other out, so the net force is 0.
