The  gravitational field gx at the surface of planet x  (M/m)(r/R)² times the gravitational field gy at the surface of planet y.

<h3>What is gravitational field?</h3>

A gravitational field, as defined by physics, is the influence a massive body has on the area surrounding it, exerting a force on another huge body. In other words, a gravitational field, which is measured in newtons per kilograms (N/kg), aids in the explanation of gravitational field.

Now, Let planet x has mass M and radius R:  then gravitational field at the surface of planet: gₓ = GM/R².

Let planet y has mass m and radius r:  then gravitational field at the surface of planet: g_y = Gm/r².

Hence, gₓ/g_y = (M/m)(r/R)².

So, the  gravitational field gx at the surface of planet x  (M/m)(r/R)² times the gravitational field gy at the surface of planet y.

An unknown amount of a radioactive isotope with a half-life of 2.0 h was observed for 6.0 h. if the amount of the isotope remain
Grace [21]

The original amount of the radioactive isotope will be 8 grams.

<h3 /><h3>What is the half-life of radioisotopes?</h3>

The amount of time required for half of a radioisotope's nuclide to decay, or change into a different species, is known as its half-life. The conversions release either beta or alpha particles, and the response can be monitored by counting the particles released.

Given that an unknown amount of a radioactive isotope with a half-life of 2.0 h was observed for 6.0 h. if the amount of the isotope remaining after 6.0 h was 24 g.

The original amount will be calculated as below:-

( 2 / 6 ) = ( Original amount / 24 )

Original amount = 4 x 2

Original amount = 8 grams

Therefore, the original amount of the radioactive isotope will be 8 grams.

To know more about the half-life of radioisotopes follow

Explain nuclear fusion briefly
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Nuclear fusion is the process in which two atomic nuclei are fused together into a larger single nucleus, releasing energy in the process. ... In proton-proton fusion, four hydrogen atoms are fused into a single helium-4 atom, releasing a lot of energy in the process.

The surface of an insulating sphere (A) is charged up uniformly with positive charge, and brought very close to an identical–siz
Ilya [14]

Answer:

A) A negative charge of value Q is induced on sphere B

B) there is an attraction between sphere

C) The charge of sphere A is distributed between the two spheres,

Explanation:

This is an electrostatic problem, in general charges of the same sign attract and repel each other.

with this principle let's analyze the different situations

A) The sphere A that is insulating has a charge on its surface and zero charge is its interior

   The conducting sphere B has zero charge, but the sphere A creates an attraction in the electrons, therefore a negative charge of the same value as the charge of the sphere A is induced in the part closest and in the part farther away than one that a positive charge.

A negative charge of value Q is induced on sphere B

B) In this case there is an attraction between sphere A with positive charge and sphere B with negative induced charge

C) When the two spheres come into contact, the charge of sphere A is distributed between the two spheres, therefore each one has a positive charge of value half of the initial charge, as now we have net positive charges in the two spheres charges of the same sign repel each other so the spheres separate
