Since the law of gravitation is an inverse square law if you quadruple the radius the f will drop by a factor of 16 SO the object would weigh 200/16 = 12.5N

In other words, as the distance, or radius, quadruples the weight becomes 1/16 of the original weight. Just plug in 4 for r and when you square it you get 16. The numerator is 1 so that is how the weight becomes 1/16.

Suppose that you lift four boxes individually, each at a constant velocity. The boxes have weights of 3.0 N, 4.0 N, 6.0 N, and 2
Alona [7]

Answer:

The vertical distance of weight 3.0 N = 4 m, vertical distance of weight 4.0 N = 3 m, vertical distance of weight 6.0 N = 2 m, vertical distance of weight 2.0 N = 6 m

Explanation:

Worked : work can be defined as the product of force and distance.

The S.I unit of work is Joules (J).

Mathematically it can be represented as,

W = F×d.................. Equation 1

d = W/F.............................. Equation 2

where W = work, F = force, d = distance.

<em>Given: W = 12 J</em>

(i) for the 3.0 N weight,

using equation 2

d = 12/3

d= 4 m.

(ii) for the 4.0 N weight,

d = 12/4

d = 3 m.

(iii) for the 6.0 N weight,

d = 12/6

d = 2 m.

(iv) for the 2.0 N weight,

d = 12/2

d = 6 m

Therefore vertical distance of weight 3.0 N = 4 m, vertical distance of weight 4.0 N = 3 m, vertical distance of weight 6.0 N = 2 m, vertical distance of weight 2.0 N = 6 m

Two identical carts travel at the same speed toward each other, and then a collision occurs. The graphs show the momentum of eac
madam [21]

Explanation :

The interaction between two objects is termed as the collision. The collision can be of two types i.e. elastic collision and inelastic collision.

In this case, two identical carts travel at the same speed toward each other, and then a collision occurs. In an inelastic collision, the momentum before and after the collision remains the same but its kinetic energy gets lost.

After the collision, both the object sticks over each other and moves with one velocity.

Out of the given graph, the graph that shows a perfectly inelastic collision is attached. It shows that after the collision both the carts move with the same velocity.

Bjorn is holding a tennis ball outside a second floor window (3.5 meters from the ground) and billie jean is holding one outside
MArishka [77]
The answer is 1.01 x 10^(-11) N. I arrived to this answer through calculating the GPEs of both balls. Bjorn's ball has a GPE of 1.402 x 10^(-11) N. Billie Jean's ball has a GPE of <span>2.503 x 10^(-11) N. I subtracted the two and I found that Billie Jean's tennis ball has a GPE of 1.01 x 10^(-11) more than Bjorn's tennis ball.</span>

A mouse runs along a baseboard in your house. The mouse's position as a function of time is given by x(t)=pt2+qt, with p = 0.36
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

0.60 m/s

Explanation:

The average velocity from t = a to t = b is:

v_avg = (x(b) − x(a)) / (b − a)

Given that x(t) = 0.36t² − 1.20t, and the time is from 1.0 to 4.0:

v_avg = (x(4.0) − x(1.0)) / (4.0 − 1.0)

v_avg = [(0.36(4.0)² − 1.20(4.0)) − (0.36(1.0)² − 1.20(1.0))] / 3.0

v_avg = [(5.76 − 4.8) − (0.36 − 1.20)] / 3.0

v_avg = [0.96 − (-0.84)] / 3.0

v_avg = 0.60

The average speed is 0.60 m/s.
