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.

what can accurately be said about a resultant wave that displays both reinforcement and interference?
schepotkina [342]
<span>As the frequency of the waves increases, a greater number of wavelengths pass a given point per second. From the wave formula, we see that there is an indirect relationship between frequency and the wavelength. thus, as the frequency increases the wavelength decreases resulting to a smaller distance between the waves which will show greater number of wavelengths between waves.</span>
