The gravitational force between two masses is given by:
where
G is the gravitational constant
m1 and m2 are the two masses
r is the separation between the two masses
We see that the force is proportional to the inverse of the square of the distance:
therefore, if the distance is tripled:
r'=3r
The force decreases by a factor 1/9:
Since the original force was 36 N, the new force will be
Answer: 45 joules of energy
Explanation:
Matter can be many things, but is mostly made of atoms. Atoms are small things that cannot be seen directly, as lights either passes through it or alters it. However, we know that atoms are made of 3 parts, those being the proton, neutron, and electron.
Protons have a positive electromagnetic charge.
Neutrons have no charge.
Electrons have a negative charge equal to the protons positive charge.
Protons and neutrons make up what's called the nucleus, which is orbited by the electrons.
Protons and neutrons also share another thing in common, that being their composition.
Until relatively recently, we thought that these were the smallest particles in the universe, and indestructible. However, modern discoveries have revealed that they are actually made of quarks and gluons.
These are actually indestructible, being part of the group that is elementary particles.
I believe Intangibility is the answer! :P I hope this helps!
Plugging in for the Earth's mass and for G, we have 11.2 km/s for the escape velocity for an object launched from the Earth's surface. This is about 25,000 miles per hour
