The length of the shorter leg is √2

<h3>Pythagoras theroem</h3>

To get the length of the shorter leg, we will use the Pythagoras theorem. According to the theorem:

hyp^2 = opp^2 + adj^2

Given the following

Hyp = √4

Opposite = √2

Required

Adjacent side

Substitute into the formula

(√4 )^2 = 2 + adj^2

4 - 2 = adj^2

adj^2 = 2

adj = √2

Hence the length of the shorter leg is √2

If the mass of two objects is increased, what is the effect on the force between them?

almond37 [142]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula used for this type of question is

$F = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}$

so as long as you don't change anything else (like r), changing m will increase the force. Both of the last 2 answers look like they might be feasible, but they are not. The attraction increases.

So the answer is A

I need help with this question.

devlian [24]

We can see that $a$ lies just before 0, $b$ lies between 2 and 3m and $c$ lies between 4 and 5. So, we have

$-1 < a < 0,\quad 2 < b < 3,\quad 4 < c < 5$

In particular, this implies that

$-1+4 < a+c < 0+5 \iff 3 < a+c < 5$

So, the correct order would be

$-2,\ b,\ a+c$
