Two small balls, A and B, attract each other gravitationally with a force of magnitude F. If we now double both masses and the separation of the balls, what will now be the magnitude of the attractive force on each one?A) 16F
B) 8F
C) 4F
D) F
E) F/4

The magnitude of the attractive force on each one will be F.

Explanation:

As two small balls are experiencing gravitational force between them ,then they will obey universal law of gravity. As per the universal law of gravity, the gravitational force acting between two objects will be directly proportional to the product of the masses of the objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects.

So if the mass of the two small balls A and B are considered as M and m, respectively, with the distance of separation be considered as r. Then the gravitational force of attraction acting between A and B will be

, This is the original or initial gravitational force between A and B.

Now, if the masses of A and B are doubled, then the new masses will be M' = 2 M and m' = 2m, respectively. Similarly, if the separation of the balls is also doubled then r' = 2r. So the new gravitational force exerting between A and B is

So after doubling the masses as well as the distance of separation, there will be no change in the gravitational force. So the magnitude of the attractive force on each one will be F.

this means that the temperature of both substances will be equal

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water
