Newton states: F=G*M*m/ r^2, where M= ρ* (4/3)*pi*r^3 is mass of iron planet, r is radius of the planet; 
<span> the same gravity force F=m*w^2*r is the centripetal force for the orbiting satellite, where angular speed w=2pi/T, T is period; </span>
<span> thus F=F; G*M*m/ r^2 = m*w^2*r; or; </span>
<span>G*(ρ* (4/3)*pi*r^3)/ r^2 = (2pi/T)^2*r; or; </span>
<span>G*ρ/3 = pi/T^2, hence T= √(3pi/(G*ρ)) = </span>
<span>= √(3pi/(6.6742E-11 *7860)) =4238.62s = 70h 38’;</span>

Atomic physicists usually ignore the effect of gravity within an atom. To see why, we may calculate and compare the magnitude of
STatiana [176]

Answer:

2.27\cdot 10^{49}

Explanation:

The gravitational force between the proton and the electron is given by

F_G=G\frac{m_p m_e}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

m_p is the proton mass

m_e is the electron mass

r = 3 m is the distance between the proton and the electron

Substituting numbers into the equation,

F_G=(6.67259\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg s^{-2})\frac{(1.67262\cdot 10^{-27}kg) (9.10939\cdot 10^{-31}kg)}{(3 m)^2}=1.13\cdot 10^{-68}N

The electrical force between the proton and the electron is given by

F_E=k\frac{q_p q_e}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb constant

q_p = q_e = q is the elementary charge (charge of the proton and of the electron)

r = 3 m is the distance between the proton and the electron

Substituting numbers into the equation,

F_E=(8.98755\cdot 10^9 Nm^2 C^{-2})\frac{(1.602\cdot 10^{-19}C)^2}{(3 m)^2}=2.56\cdot 10^{-19}N

So, the ratio of the electrical force to the gravitational force is

\frac{F_E}{F_G}=\frac{2.56\cdot 10^{-19} N}{1.13\cdot 10^{-68}N}=2.27\cdot 10^{49}

So, we see that the electrical force is much larger than the gravitational force.

What is a non-example of gravitational force?
qaws [65]
A non-example of force would be something that stay sill like a balloon in the air..... taste, smell, feel, texture, color, opinion, faith, hope, sincerity, honest, speed, momentum, altitude, volume, loudness, area, length, acidity, obesity, nationalism, current, resistance, viscosity, wavelength, flow, rate, frequency, albedo, diameter, age, temperature, acceleration, body mass index, salinity, specific, specific gravity, consciousness, intelligence, refraction index, mass, time, date rate, switching speed, libido, focal length, and latency are not force. And even there are many other things that also are not force, too.

Sindrei [870]
The answer that best fits the blank is the term WAXING. The moon is waxing whenever it reaches to the period that its phases are transitioning from new to full. The answer is the first option. This is when it is more that half is illuminated. Hope this helps.
