The relative speed is 10 mph; based on this, use the formula distance = speed x time. Solving for time: time = distance / speed. If distances are in miles, and speeds in mph, the time will obviously be in hours.

How is the force of attraction affected if the distance between their centers is doubled?

Gravity falls as an inverse square of the distance between centres of bodies. In this case doubling the distance apart reduces the attraction to one quarter.


If the distance of the planet from the sun doubles but its mass is unchanged the force of gravity between them will?

Doubling the distance reduces the force of gravity to one quarter its original.


What happends to gravity when you get fuerther away?

Gravity is reduced by the inverse of the square of the distance between the two bodies. Double the distance reduce the gravity by one quarter.


How do I solve this...A block of mass m is projected across a horizontal surface with an initial speed v?

Short answer: should be one-fourth of the distance. Long answer: You can solve with with the equation v^2 = u^2 + 2as We know that the final velocity is zero s = -u^2/2a When we sub in u = 1/2 u, it becomes a quarter of the original displacement. So, it will travel a quarter of the distance.


What should be the weight of the person projected with velocity of sound in vacuum and travellig millions of kilometer of distance?

The force (weight) between the person and earth diminishes with distance. eg double the distance, quarter the force.


When you increase the distance between two objects then what happens to the gravity?

The force of gravity between them decreases. The force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. This means that, for instance, if the distance doubles the force with be one quarter. If the distance is ten times as great the force will be one one-hundredth as big.
