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.

Why does the cannon move backward when the cannon ball is shot?
seropon [69]

Answer:

This came to mind

Explanation:

when a cannon fires (in real life or in the movies) have noticed that the cannon recoils, sliding backwards after the explosion. Again, a non-zero net force on the cannon changes its momentum.

How is the wavelength of a sound affected when (a) a sound source moves toward a stationary observer and (b) the observer moves
Westkost [7]

Answer:

If the observer is stationary but the source moves toward the observer at a speed vs, the observer still intercepts more waves per second and the frequency goes up. This time it is the wavelength of the wave received by the observer that is effectively shifted by the motion, rather than the speed.

Suppose that the sound level of a conversation is initially at an angry 71 dB and then drops to a soothing 54 dB. Assuming that
Goryan [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

In the decibel scale , intensity of sound changes logarithmically as follows

10log\frac{I}{I_0} = Value in decibel scale , the value of I₀ = 10⁻¹² W /m².

Putting the values

10log\frac{I}{10^{-12}} = 71

log\frac{I}{10^{-12}} = 7.1

\frac{I}{10^{-12}} = 10^{7.1}

I= 10^{-4.9} W/m²

Similarly for 54 dB sound intensity can be given as follows

I = 10⁻¹² x 10^{5.4}

I= 10^{-6.6 } W / m²

For intensity of sound the relation is as follows

I = 2π²υ²A²ρc where υ is frequency , A is amplitude , ρ is density of air and c is velocity of sound .

Putting the given values for 71 dB

I= 10^{-4.9}  = 2π² x 504²xA²x 1.21 x  346

A² = 60.03 x 10⁻¹⁶

A = 7.74 x 10⁻⁸ m

For 54 dB sound

10^{-6.6} = 2π² x 504²xA²x 1.21 x  346

A² = 1.1978 x 10⁻¹⁶

A = 1.1 x 10⁻⁸ m
