According to the universal law of gravitation, the force due to gravity is a. inversely proportional to the square of the distance between objects.

<h3>What is the universal law of gravitation?</h3>

Newton's law of universal gravitation states that objects are attracted to each other in the universe with a force directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of their distance apart.

The equation that represents this law is;

F = G × M1M2 ÷ r∧2

Where,

F is the gravitational force acting between two objects

M1 and M2 are the masses of the objects

r is the distance between the centers of their masses

G is the gravitational constant.

Thus. according to the universal law of gravitation, the force of gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between objects.

Which choice has more thermal energy?
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

If thermal energy is the motion energy of the particles of a substance, which has more thermal energy—the cup of hot tea or a spoonful of hot tea? It makes sense that the more particles of a substance you have, then the more thermal energy the substance has. The cup of hot tea would have more thermal energy, even if the temperature of the tea is the same in the cup and in the spoon. But which cools down the quickest (has the highest rate of thermal energy transfer)—the tea in the cup or the tea in the spoon? If I have fewer particles of the same substance, then the rate of thermal energy transfer is faster. The tea in the spoon would lose thermal energy more rapidly. So the amount of a substance you have is one factor that affects the rate of thermal energy transfer.

A uniform electric field exists in the region between two oppositely charged plane parallel plates. A proton is released from re
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

a) 17.33 V/m

b) 6308 m/s

Explanation:

We start by using equation of motion

s = ut + 1/2at², where

s = 1.2 cm = 0.012 m

u = 0 m/s

t = 3.8*10^-6 s, so that

0.012 = 0 * 3.8*10^-6 + 0.5 * a * (3.8*10^-6)²

0.012 = 0.5 * a * 1.444*10^-11

a = 0.012 / 7.22*10^-12

a = 1.66*10^9 m/s²

If we assume the electric field to be E, and we know that F =qE. Also, from Newton's law, we have F = ma. So that, ma = qE, and E = ma/q, where

E = electric field

m = mass of proton

a = acceleration

q = charge of proton

E = (1.67*10^-27 * 1.66*10^9) / 1.6*10^-19

E = 2.77*10^-18 / 1.6*10^-19

E = 17.33 V/m

Final speed of the proton can be gotten by using

v = u + at

v = 0 + 1.66*10^9 * 3.8*10^-6

v = 6308 m/s

Please help I'll mark brainliest!!!!
madam [21]

This question is based on the fundamental assumption of  vector direction.

A vector is  a physical quantity which has  magnitude as well direction  for its complete specification.

The magnitude of a physical quantity is simply a  numerical number .Hence it can not be negative.

A negative vector is a vector which comes into existence when it is opposite to our assumed direction with respect to any other vector.  For instance, the vector is taken positive if it is along + X axis and negative if it is along - X axis.

As per the first option it is given that a vector is negative if its magnitude is greater than 1. It is not correct as magnitude play no role in it.

The second option tells that the magnitude of the vector is less than 1. Magnitude can not be negative. So this is also wrong.

Third one tells that a vector is negative if its displacement is along north. It does not give any detail information about the negativity of a vector.

In a general sense we assume that vertically downward motion  is negative and vertically upward is positive. In case of a falling object the motion is  vertically downward. So the velocity of that object is negative .

So last   option is  partially  correct  as  the vector can be negative depending on our choice of co-ordinate system.

<h3>What is Columb's law?</h3>

The force of attraction between two charges, according to Coulomb's law, is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Similar charges repel each other, whereas charges that are opposed attract each other.

Given data;

Electric force,F = 9 × 10 ⁻⁹ N

Distance between charges,d = 7 × 10⁻⁴ m

Chrge,q₁ = q₂ =q C

From Columb's law;

\rm F = K \frac{q_1q_2}{d^2} \\\\ 9 \times 10^{-9}  = 9 \times 10^9 \frac{q^2}{(7 \times 10^{-4})^2} \\\\ q^2 = 4.9 \times 10^{-25} \\\\  q = 7 \times 10^{-13} \ C

Hence the charge on each of the equally charged drops of hairspray willl be 7 × 10 ⁻¹³ C

A wire is stretched between two posts. Another wire is stretched between two posts that are four times as far apart. The tension
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Therefore,

The speed of the wave on the longer wire is 95 m/s.

Explanation:

Given:

For Short wire, speed is

v_{s}=190\ m/s

Let length of Short  and Longer wire be L_{s}\ and\ L_{l} such that

L_{l}=4\times L_{s}

To Find:

v_{l}=?  Speed on the longer wire

Solution:

The speed of a pulse or wave on a string under tension can be found with the equation,

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{F_{T}\times L}{m}

Where,

F_{T} = Tension on the wire

L = Length of Sting

m = mass of String

So here we have,

F_{T} = same

L_{l}=4\times L_{s}

Therefore,

v_{s}=\sqrt{\dfrac{F_{T}\times L_{s}}{m} ......equation ( 1 )

And

v_{l}=\sqrt{\dfrac{F_{T}\times L_{l}}{m}  .......equation ( 2 )

Dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and on Solving we get

\dfrac{v_{s}}{v_{l}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{L_{s}}{L_{l}}}

Therefore,

v_{l}=v_{s}\sqrt{\dfrac{4\times L_{s}}{L_{s}}}=190\times 2=380\ m/s

Therefore,

The speed of the wave on the longer wire is 95 m/s.
