Because earths gravitational force is greater than that of the moon.

4 0

Answer:

Gravitational force exists between any two bodies having mass. It is proportional to the mass of two bodies and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.

F=G\frac{Mm}{d^2}

Thus, with increase in distance, the gravitational force decreases.

Acorn falls to Earth because of the following two reasons:

1. Mass of Earth > Mass of Moon

2. Acorn is closer to the Earth

Thus, the gravitation force of attraction is greater towards the Earth.

A helium nucleus contains two protons and two neutrons. The mass of the helium nucleus is greater than the combined masses of tw
dsp73

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Actually, the converse is true. The mass number would be lower than the sum of the mass of the individual nucleons combined. According to Einstein’s equation of E=MC², this will be due to a phenomenon called mass defect. This ‘anomaly’ is due to the loss of some energy (now the nuclear binding energy) when the nucleons were brought in together to form the nucleus.

Closed circuit
VMariaS [17]

A. the light bulb goes out once the circuit is open since it causes the flow of electricity to cut off. the light bulb dosent get the energy it needs to light up

Explanation:

B. a simple example of this in our every day life is a light switch. when you switch the light on then the circuit is closed and the energy transfers to the light bulb, when u switch the light off then you cut off the lights source of energy which causes the light to turn off.

When determining whether a chemical reaction has taken place, you observe and look for several indicators. Which would be consid
Inga [223]
The answer is B.

A cannot be the answer is melting is a physical change. No chemical reaction took place.

B is the answer as it is a EXOTHERMIC REACTION so heat will be given off.

C cannot be the answer as dissolving is basically atoms becoming ions, not a chemical reaction whereby a reactant reacts with another reactant to form a product.

D cannot be the answer. Same reason as for why A is not the answer.

Cheers.

"A thin film with an index of refraction of 1.50 is placed in one of the beams of a Michelson interferometer. If this causes a s
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

The film thickness is 4.32 * 10^-6 m

Explanation:

Here in this question, we are interested in calculating the thickness of the film.

Mathematically;

The number of fringes shifted when we insert a film of refractive index n and thickness L in the Michelson Interferometer is given as;

ΔN = (2L/λ) (n-1)

where λ is the wavelength of the light used

Let’s make L the subject of the formula

(λ * ΔN)/2(n-1) = L

From the question ΔN = 8 , λ = 540 nm, n = 1.5

Plugging these values, we have

L = ((540 * 10^-9 * 8)/2(1.5-1) = (4320 * 10^-9)/1 = 4.32 * 10^-6 m

Explain the following observations:
Deffense [45]

Answer and Explanation:

a. An oxygen-filled balloon is not able to float in the air, because the oxygen inside the balloon is of the same density, that is, the same "weight" as the oxygen outside the balloon and present in the atmosphere. The balloon can only float if the gas inside it is less dense than atmospheric oxygen. Helium gas is less dense than atmospheric gas, so if a balloon is filled with helium gas, that balloon will be able to float because of the difference in density.

b. The ship is able to float in the water because its steel construction is hollow and full of air. This makes the average density of this ship less than the density of water, which makes the ship lighter than water and for this reason, this ship is able to float. In addition, the ship is partially immersed, allowing the weight of the ship on the water to counteract the buoyant force that the water promotes on the ship. Weight and buoyant are two opposing forces that keep the ship afloat.
