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

Physics
1 answer:
Ymorist [56]2 years ago
4 0

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

If a 4 engine jet accelerates down a runway at 8.7 m/s^2, Suppose now that all 4 engins are operational on the jet from the prev
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

5.22m/s^2

Explanation:

One of the first propulsion characteristics given in the example is that all engines are equal.

In this way if we have 4 engines running at the same time, it means that its capacity is 100%.

Under this premise, if 100% is found, the Jet is capable of reaching a speed of 8.7m / s ^ 2.

However, the question is, what would happen if 2.4 "Engines" now work.

To do this then we make a simple equivalence,

If 4 engines is the equivalent of 100%, when would it be 2.4 engines?

X = \frac{2.4 * 100\%} { 4 }= 60\%

In this way it would mean that the body could be driven to 60% of its total.

So

Speed_{Decreased} = 8.7 * 60\% = 5.22 \frac{m}{s^2}

A hollow sphere of inner radius 8.82 cm and outer radius 9.91 cm floats half-submerged in a liquid of density 948.00 kg/m^3. (a)
kari74 [83]

Answer:

a) 0.568 kg

b) 474 kg/m³

Explanation:

Given:

Inner radius = 8.82 cm = 0.0882 m

Outer radius = 9.91 cm = 0.0991 m

Density of the liquid = 948.00 Kg/m³

a) The volume of the sphere = \frac{4\pi}{3}\times(0.0991^2-0.0882^2)

or

volume of sphere = 0.0012 m³

also, volume of half sphere = \frac{\textup{Total volume}}{\textup{2}}

or

volume of half sphere = \frac{\textup{0.0012}}{\textup{2}}

or

Volume of half sphere =0.0006 m³

Now, from the Archimedes principle

Mass of the sphere = Weight of the volume of object submerged

or

Mass of the sphere = 0.0006× 948.00 = 0.568 kg

b) Now, density =  \frac{\textup{Mass}}{\textup{Volume}}

or

Density = \frac{\textup{0.568}}{\textup{0.0012}}

or

Density = 474 kg/m³

Options are:<br>a)4Cn<br>b)5Cn<br>c)6 Cn<br>d)3 Cn<br>​
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Option B. 5 nC

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Capicitance (C) = 100 pF

Potential difference (V) = 50 V

Quantity of charge (Q) =?

Next, we shall convert 100 pF to Farad (F). This can be obtained as follow:

1 pF = 1×10¯¹² F

Therefore,

100 pF = 100 pF × 1×10¯¹² F / 1 pF

100 pF = 1×10¯¹⁰ F

Next, we shall determine the quantity of charge. This can be obtained as follow:

Capicitance (C) = 1×10¯¹⁰ F

Potential difference (V) = 50 V

Quantity of charge (Q) =?

Q = CV

Q = 1×10¯¹⁰ × 50

Q = 5×10¯⁹ C

Finally, we shall convert 5×10¯⁹ C to nano coulomb (nC). This can be obtained as follow:

1 C = 1×10⁹ nC

Therefore,

5×10¯⁹ C = 5×10¯⁹ C × 1×10⁹ nC / 1 C

5×10¯⁹ C = 5 nC

Thus, the quantity of charge is 5 nC
