If the earth were placed five times farther from the sun how would the gravitational effect of the sun on the earth change?

The gravitational force would be 1/25 of the current value. Gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.

Is there any way to change the average amount of radiation emitted from a radioactive substance?
No, there is none at all. Shielding can be placed around it to limit exposure, but it has no effect on what the substance is emitting.
What would eventually happen to the gravitational force between the earth and moon?
To gravity - nothing. The gravitational attraction between them would weaken. The tidal effect would be less. (Note - the Moon is - and has been - moving away from the Earth ever since it was created.)
What would happen to the magnitude of the gravitational force between the sun and Earth if Earth were placed in Pluto's orbit?
The magnitude of the force would decrease greatly.
Is a red blood cell placed in distilled water will swell and burst a chemical or physical change?
When a red blood cell is placed in distilled water it will swell and burst. This is a physical change.
When Acid is placed into limestone and produces carbon dioxide gas is this a physical or a chemical change?
This is a chemical change.
Where does the object have the most gravitational energy?
The higher an object is placed, the larger will its gravitational potential energy be.
Use gravitational potential energy in a sentence?
A roller coaster on the top of the ride Book on top of bookshelf Apple on top of table
Does the weight of heavy objects change when placed on a lever?
No, the weight never changes unless the object is taken to a different gravitational field. The force required to move them changes, but this is only an application of mechanical advantage.
Why luggage is compartment placed to the bottom of the bus?
To increase stability of a
Why was the hubble telescope placed in space?
Otherwise it would fall towards the earth due to gravitational attraction.
What is the definiton of gravitational potential energy?
Gravitational potential energy is a type of energy that an object possesses because of where it is placed in a gravitational field. The higher the object the more energy it has, so if you had an object that was on the ground and then you put it on a high shelf then it would have more energy when it is on the shelf.
What are the three factors at work when an object is placed in a fluid?
volume of the displaced fluid, gravitational acceleration, and the fluid's density
Is there any way to change the average amount of radiation emitted from a radioactive substance?
No, there is none at all. Shielding can be placed around it to limit exposure, but it has no effect on what the substance is emitting.
What is difference between gravitational potential energy and gravitational potential?
A body A of mass m is placed in the gravitational field of a body B of mass M. The gravitational potential of body B at a point in the field is the work done is bringing unit mass from infinity to that point and is independent of body A. On the other hand, the gravitational potential energy of body A is the energy possessed by it due to its position in the field. In fact, Gravitational potential energy = mass of body(A) x gravitational potential
What type of energy is converted into internal energy when loads are placed on a bridge until it breaks?
Gravitational potential energy (GPE)
Will different weights effect the speed?
The answer depends on where the weights are placed.
