Answer: It would increase.

Explanation:

The equation for determining the force of the gravitational pull between any two objects is:

F = G \frac{m1m2}{r^2}

Where G is the universal gravitational constant, m1 is the mass of one body, m2 is the mass of the other body, and r^2 is the distance between the two objects' centers squared.

Assuming the Earth's mass but not its diameter increased, in the equation above m1 (the term usually indicative of the object of larger mass) would increase, while the r^2 would not.

Thus, it goes without saying that, with some simple reasoning about fractions, an increasing numerator over a constant denominator would result in a larger number to multiply by G, thus also meaning a larger gravitational strength between Earth and whatever other object is of interest.

An object initially at rest experiences a constant horizontal acceleration due to the action of a resultant force applied for 10
Marianna [84]

Answer:

a = 18.28 ft/s²

Explanation:

given,

time of force application, t= 10 s

Work = 10 Btu

mass of the object = 15 lb

acceleration, a =  ? ft/s²

1 btu = 778.15 ft.lbf

10 btu = 7781.5 ft.lbf

m = \dfrac{15}{32.174}\ slug

m = 0.466 slug

now,

work done  is equal to change in kinetic energy

W = \dfrac{1}{2} m (v_f^2-v_i^2)

7781.5 = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.466\times v_f^2

 v_f = 182.75\ ft/s

now, acceleration of object

  a = \dfrac{v_f-v_o}{t}

  a = \dfrac{182.75-0}{10}

         a = 18.28 ft/s²

constant acceleration of the object is equal to 18.28 ft/s²

A meter stick balances horizontally on a knife-edge at the 50.0cm mark. With two 5.0g coins stacked over the 12.0cm mark l, the
xenn [34]

Answer:

mass of the scale is 7.44 g

Explanation:

As we know that the meter scale is balanced at 45.5 cm mark when two coins are placed at 12 cm mark

now we can say that the torque due to weight of the coin is balanced by the weight of scale above the knife edge because the scale remains horizontal

so we will have

mg(50 - 45.5) = (5g + 5g)(45.5 - 12)

m (4.5) = 10(33.5

m = \frac{335}{4.5}

m = 7.44 g

A car covers 72 kilometers in the first hour of its journey. In the next hour, it covers 90 kilometers. What is the amount of wo
kap26 [50]
The amount of work done can be solved using the formula:

Work = Force x Distance = Change in kinetic energy

Kinetic energy can be solved using the formula: KE = (1/2)*m*v^2
So, change in kinetic energy = (1/2)*m*(Vf)^2 - (1/2)*m*(Vo)^2

Where:

Vf = final velocity = 90 kph = 25 m/s
Vo = initial velocity = 72 kph = 20 m/s

substituting the given values:

Work = (1/2)*2500*(25^2) - (1/2)*2500*(20^2) = 281250 J, which can also be expressed as 2.8 x 10^5 Joules.

Among the choices, the correct answer is A.

Thepotemich [5.8K]

That particular strike was very roughly 2.4 km (1.5 miles) away from them.

That's if you use 340 m/s (1120 ft/sec) for the speed of sound. 
But the air in the region for several thousand feet around a thunderstorm
is doing weird things to sounds that pass through it, so you can't use any
exact number for the speed of sound in a stormy area.

The only thing you can be absolutely sure of is that Johnny and his friends
need to round up their equipment and get in the house.  NOW !
