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

I would say letter A to this because we need rain water for crops plants. Also we need it so that we can drink it. Its less great over sea because as it merge with the salt in the ocean it becomes less drinkable and less usable.

Answer:

1. B

2. A

Explanation:

1. The displacement is the change in position.  At t = 0, x = 1.0.  At t = 8.0, x = 6.0.  So from t=0 to t=8, Δx = 6.0 − 1.0 = 5.0.

2. The instantaneous velocity is the slope of the tangent line at any point of a position vs. time graph.

The average velocity is the displacement divided by the time interval.
