it would be less than what it was before
The gravitational pull between earth and the spacecraft will become insignificant.
The gravitational force between the Earth and the Moon will continue to exist and affect their orbits. Over time, tidal forces will cause the Moon to move further away from the Earth, which will result in a weaker gravitational force between them.
As the moon gets further and further away, the gravitational force between the Earth and the Moon decreases. Because the Moon is not being attracted but being pushed away from the Earth. If the gravitational force would have increased, the moon would come closer and closer to the Earth.
The earth's constant orbit around the sun is caused by an equilibrium between two forces - the gravitational pull of the sun, and the earth's velocity acting at a right angle to it. If that gravitational pull was suddenly eliminated, the earth would continue onwards in a straight line.
we would probably die
The magnitude of the force would decrease greatly.
The magnitude of the force would decrease greatly.
The magnitude of the gravitational force between the Sun and Pluto is determined by Newton's law of universal gravitation, which states that the force is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. As Pluto orbits the Sun, its distance varies, affecting the gravitational force. If Pluto moves closer to the Sun, the gravitational force increases; conversely, if it moves farther away, the force decreases. However, since both the Sun and Pluto have relatively constant masses, the primary factor affecting the force is their changing distance.
Tidal waves
The gravitational pull between earth and the spacecraft will become insignificant.
If the radius is doubled, the gravitational force between two objects will decrease by a factor of 4. This is because the gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects.
Nothing, the force in question IS gravitational attraction.
The force will increase fourfold.
The gravitational force between the Earth and the Moon will continue to exist and affect their orbits. Over time, tidal forces will cause the Moon to move further away from the Earth, which will result in a weaker gravitational force between them.
If the distance between two masses is doubled, the gravitational force of attraction between them will decrease by a factor of 4. This is because the gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the masses, according to Newton's law of universal gravitation.
Double
The magnitude of the sum of any two vectors can be anywhere between zero and the sum of their two magnitudes, depending on their magnitudes and the angle between them. When you say "components", you're simply describing a sum of two vectors that happen to be perpendicular to each other. In that case, the magnitude of their sum is Square root of [ (magnitude of one component)2 + (magnitude of the other component)2 ] It looks to me like that can't be less than the the magnitude of the greater component.
