Answer:

Two times as much

Explanation:

The equation for gravitational force is: Fg = GMm/r^2 with G being the universal gravitational constant.

So to make things easier we'll set r equal to 1 since it's a constant as well as G.

Then we're left with Fg=Mm with M being the mass of the sun and m being the mass of the earth.

So if m is constant and supposedly equals 1 then Fg=M so Fg is proportional to M therefore if M doubles then Fg doubles.

Suppose two astronauts on a spacewalk are floating motionless in space, 3.0 m apart. Astronaut B tosses a 15.0 kg IMAX camera to
marta [7]

Answer:

\frac{ 112.5}{15+m_{A}}=v_{f}

(we need the mass of the astronaut A)

Explanation:

We can solve this by using the conservation law of the linear momentum P. First we need to represent every mass as a particle. Also we can simplify this system of particles by considering only the astronaut A with an initial speed v_{iA} of 0 m/s and a mass m_{A} and the IMAX camera with an initial speed v_{ic} of 7.5 m/s and a mass m_{c} of 15.0 kg.

The law of conservation says that the linear momentum P (the sum of the products between all masses and its speeds) is constant in time. The equation for this is:

P_{i}=p_{ic}+p_{iA}\\P_{i}=m_{c}v_{ic}+m_{A} v_{iA}\\P_{i}=15*7.5 + m_{A}*0\\P_{i}=112.5 \frac{kg.m}{s}

By the law of conservation we know that P_{i} =P_{f}

For P_{f} (final linear momentum) we need to treat the collision as a plastic one (the two particles stick together after the encounter).

So:

P_{i} =P_{f}=112.5\\

112.5=(m_{c}+m_{A})v_{f}\\\frac{ 112.5}{m_{c}+m_{A}}=v_{f}\\\frac{ 112.5}{15+m_{A}}=v_{f}

You are using an 8 th order low-pass filter. Determine the roll-off achievable in the stop band, in dB/dec, and determine the ph
Andreas93 [3]

Answer: The complexity of filter is the order of the filter. Greater the order of the filter, more efficient the filter is. Roll of value of one filter is 20dB/dec. So the roll-off value of 8th order filter is 160dB/dec. 8th order filter is more efficient than the second order low-pass filter.

Which way does the friction arrow go in a free body diagram for a moving object point
True [87]

Answer:

Frictional force opposes relative motion between surfaces

Explanation:

Friction that exists when the object is not moving is called static friction.  In static friction ,If we are applying a force in the object the frictional force is in the opposite  direction . If it is not the case, there have been some net force and the object starts accelarating.

The main component of the contact force of two objects is normal force and that is in the perpendicular direction.  Frictional force is other complnent. This frictional force is parallel to the interface between objects. Frictional force opposes relative motion between surfaces.
