Both are constants used in the definition of Forces (gravitational and electric,respectively)

Since those constants are proportional to the magnitude of the forces:

Having a small gravitational constant explains why there is no apparent force of attraction with objects of considerable low mass (they would need to have great value of mass for the equation to give an apreciable force)

Electrical interactions are usually strong, and thus require an appropiate constant to depict the phenomenon. We deal in this case with charges really small, but the forces are in different order of magnitude.

2) [25 pts] The bob of mass m=5 kg shown in the figure is being held by a force F. If the angle is 0⃗
Colt1911 [192]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image  

Answer:

a

   The tension is  T =  48.255 \ N

b

   The time taken is  t =  0.226 \ s

c

   The position for maximum velocity is  

        S = 0  

d

     The maximum velocity is  V_{max} =0.384 \ m/s

Explanation:

The free body for this question is shown on the second uploaded image

From the question we are told that

    The mass of the bob  is m_b  =  5 \ kg

     The angle is  \theta = 10^o

     The length of the string is  L =  0.5 \ m

The tension on the string is mathematically represented as

              T  = mg cos \theta

substituting values

             T =  5 * 9.8 cos(10)

             T =  48.255 \ N

The motion of the bob is mathematically represented as

             S =  A sin (w t  + \frac{\pi }{2} )

     =>   S =  A sin (wt)

Where  w is the angular speed

and  \frac{\pi}{2} is the phase change

At initial position S =  0

   So   wt  = cos^{-1} (0)

          wt  = 1

Generally w can be mathematically represented as

          w =  \frac{2 \pi }{T}

Where T is the period of oscillation which i mathematically represented as

          T  =  2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g} }

So  

      t   = \frac{1}{w}

       t   = \frac{T}{2 \pi}

       t =  \sqrt{\frac{L}{g} }

substituting values

       t =  \sqrt{\frac{0.5}{9.8} }

       t =  0.226 \ s

Looking at the equation

         wt =  1

We see that maximum velocity of the bob will be at  S = 0  

i. e     w =  \frac{1}{t}

The maximum velocity is mathematically represented as

          V_{max}   =  w A

Where A is the amplitude which is mathematically represented as

         A = L sin \theta

So

      V_{max} = \frac{2 \pi }{T }  L sin \theta

      V_{max} = \frac{2 \pi }{2 \pi } \sqrt{\frac{g}{L} }   L sin \theta  Recall   T  =  2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g} }

     V_{max} = \sqrt{gL} sin \theta

substituting values        

       V_{max} = \sqrt{9.8 * 0.5 } sin (10)

       V_{max} =0.384 \ m/s

Hurricane sandy produced some of the greatest destruction along the new jersey coast in communities situated along narrow strips
FrozenT [24]

The correct answer to fill in the blank would be:

“a barrier island”

Barrier islands are coastal landforms and a category of dune system that are remarkably even or lumpy areas of sand that was formed by wave and tidal actions that are parallel to the mainland coast. Due to this feature, there are no enough sand blockades to minimize the destruction by Hurricane Sandy.

The vitreous humor, a transparent, gelatinous fluid that fills most of the eyeball, has an index of refraction of 1.34. Visible
Leto [7]

Answer:

a)   298.5 nm ,  522.4 nm  and b)  radiation frequency does not change

Explanation:

When electromagnetic radiation reaches a medium with a different index of refraction, the medium vibrates the molecules, as if it were a resonance process, whereby the medium vibrates at the same frequency as the incident light.

On the other hand, when the light reaches another medium its average speed within the medium changes, it is now less than the speed of light in a vacuum (c) for this to happen as we saw that the frequency is constant there must be a change in the wavelength of the radiation that is characterized by the ratio

    λₙ = λ₀ / n

    λₙ = 400 nm    in the void

    λₙ = 400 / 1.34

    λₙ= 298.5 nm

   λ₀ = 700 nm

   λₙ = 700 / 1.34

   λₙ = 522.4 nm

The radiation frequency does not change
