Gravity is directly proportional to the product of the two. Masses and inversely proportional to the square distance between the two masses.

Answer:

The Law of Universal Gravitation states that gravity is <u> </u><u><em>directly</em></u> proportional to the product of the two masses and <u><em>inversely</em></u> proportional to the squared distance between the two masses.

Explanation:

The Law of Universal Gravitation is:

F=G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^{2} }

Where F represent the gravitational force, m1 and m2 are the two masses and r2 is the distance between the two masses.

As state in the equation, the two masses  appear as multiplicative factors of equality, therefore they are directly proportional, before any increase N of m1 or m2, the force will increase N times; contrary case is with r which appears as dividing factor, before an increase N of r, the force will decay exponentially to the square, reason why it is an inverse proportion.

dayshawn is traveling at 12 m/s away from the school. dayshaun's mom is looking for him because he is late coming home so she le
vivado [14]

Speed of Dayshawn travelling towards his home is 12 m/s

Speed of her mom towards his school is 5 m/s

They both starts at same time so whenever they will meet on their path the sum of the distance covered by Dayshawn and distance covered by his mom must be equal to the total distance of school and home

Now let say they both meet after "t" time when they starts motion

so we can write the total distance between school and home as

d = v_1*t + v_2*t

here d = 6492 m

v_1 = 12 m/s = speed of dayshawn

v_2 = 5 m/s = speed of his mom

now by solving the above equation

6492 = 12t + 5 t

t = \frac{6492}{17}

t = 381.9 s

so they will meet after 381.9 s from start which will be 3.36 minutes from there start

Also at this time the distance covered by her mom will be

d_2 = v_2*t

d_2 = 5* 381.9 = 1909.4 m

so they will meet at distance 1909.4 m from their home

Waves are observed passing under a dock. Wave crests are 8.0 meters apart. The time for a complete wave to pass by
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

Option D

2 m/s

Explanation:

The speed is given by distance/time

The complete wave has a distance of 8 m (This is the wavelength)

Time taken for complete wave is 4 s

Therefore, velocity= 8 m/ 4 s= 2 m/s

The amplitude is the distance between crest and trough hence 9 m- 6 m= 3 m

Frequency is 1/period and in this case period is 4 s hence frequency= 1/4= 0.25 Hz

Essentially, what we wanted is velocity

Help with these please someone
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

Five: B

Ten: A

Explanation:

Five

An alpha decay looks like this.

A^x_y====> B^{x-4}_{y - 2}+alpha^4_2

So whatever is produced must have a mass of 4 less than 234 and a number on the periodic table of 2 less than 92. In other words, B has a mass of 230 and a number on the periodic table of 90.

The answer should be Thorium which is B.

Ten

There is actually not enough information to do 10. You get it by making an assumption and seeing if it works.

In general a beta decay can (the most common one ) look like this.

A^x_y====> B^{x}_{y-1}+Beta^0_{-1}

Is there anything that looks like that?

The weight stays the same (234) and the atomic number of the mother element (on the left) is 1 lower than the given chemical on the right.

Th^{234}_{90}====> Pa^{234}_{91}+Beta^0_{-1}

The answer is Thorium A

Beta decays are very tricky. Be very careful how you handle them. One of three items can be what is decayed. I have assumed it was an electron, but there are two other possibilities. I won't confuse you by adding them. Just be aware that they exist.
