How does the gravitational force between two objects change if the distance between the objects doubles?

Physics

Ymorist [56]2 years ago

if the distance between the objects is doubled the force is reduced by a factor of 4

<h3>Whats is gravitational force?</h3>

Gravitational force is the force of attraction between objects in the universe.

f = G * m1 * m2 / r^2

f = gravitational force

G = gravitational constant

m1 = mass of object 1

m2 = mass of object 2

r = distance between the objects

From the formular, the gravitational force and the distance is an inverse relationship so increasing the distance by a factor results to reduction of the force by the square of the factor. hence doubling the distance which is distance mutiplied by 2 will lead to reduction of the force by 2^2 = 4

Therefore: The force decreases by a factor of 4.

hope it helps

A 1056-hertz tuning fork is struck at the same time as a note on the piano and you hear 2 beats/second. You tighten the piano st

Answer:

The frequency of the piano string is <em>1059 Hz</em>.

Explanation:

The frequency beat (fb), 2 beats/second, is the absolute difference between the frequency of the tuning fork (1056 Hz) and the frequency of the piano string.

As the piano string gets tightened, the frequency beat becomes 3 beats/second.

Therefore,

fb = fb = fpiano - ftuning fork\\ 3 Hz=fpiano-1056Hz\\ fpiano=1056Hz+3Hz\\ fpiano=1059Hz

In a classical model of the singly-ionized helium atom, a single electron orbits the nucleus in a circular orbit of radius.
NikAS [45]

Yes, in a classical model of the singly-ionized helium atom, a single electron orbits the nucleus.

<h3>What is singly ionized helium?</h3>

Singly ionized helium is an atom that has lost one electrons from its outermost shell. We consider its remaining electron like a hydrogen electron. There is only one difference between a hydrogen atom and a singly ionized helium atom which is the number of protons in the nucleus so the nucleus charge on singly ionized helium is -1.

Elle is playing with a ball in a bus that moves in a straight line with constant velocity. What can you say about the motion of
kramer
Given that they are all on the same bus that is travelling in a straight line at the same velocity, when Elle throws the ball directly upwards, the ball will simply fall back to her. This is because the bus, Elle, and the ball are all travelling in the same direction and at the same speed. Among the choices, the correct answer is A.
