Chapter 3, Problem 20SEQ

Explain all answer clearly, with complete sentences and proper essay structure if needed. An asterisk (*) designates a quantitative problem, for which you should show all your work.

The Universal Law of Gravitation.

  1. How does quadrupling the distance between two objects affect the gravitational force between them?
  2. Suppose the Sun were somehow replaced by a star with twice as much mass. What would happen to the gravitational force between Earth and the Sun?
  3. Suppose Earth were moved to one-third of its current distance from the Sun. What would happen to the gravitational force between Earth and the Sun?

Read each problem carefully. Solve each quadratic equation for the variable(s) specified. Be sure to show all of your work. Explain in two to three sentences what the meaning of the solution(s) are in relation to the problem situation. A rubric has been provided for reference. 1. An object is propelled off of a platform that is 75 feet high at a speed of 45 feet per second (ft./s). The height of the object off the ground is given by the formula h(t) = - 16t+45t+75, where h(t) is the object's height at time (t) seconds after the -16 object is propelled. The downward negative pull on the object is represented by Solve for t.
