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 wave A has twice the amplitude and three times the frequency as wave B, then the energy carried by wave A must be ____ times
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

4 times

Explanation:

As we know that the energy of a wave is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude of the wave,

Here, the amplitude of the wave A is twice as compared to B.

So, the energy of wave A is 4 times the energy of wave B.

Why is it important foe scientists to know how many valence electrons a given element has
Vikentia [17]
Because the number of valence electrons of an element determines the properties and in particular the reactivity of that element.

In fact, elements of the first group (i.e. only one valence electron) have high reactivity, because they can easily give away their valence electron to atoms of other elements forming bonds. On the contrary, elements of the 8th group (noble gases) have their outermost shell completely filled with electrons, so they do not have valence electrons, and they have little or no reactivity at all.
