Levart [38]3 years ago

Answer:

The answer is the principal Quantum number (n)

Explanation:

The principal quantum number is one of the four quantum numbers associated with an atom.

It is denoted by a number n=1,2,3,4 etc

It tells both size (directly) and energy (indirectly) of an orbital.

When n=1 means it is the closest to the nucleus and is the smallest orbital and with increase in principal quantum number, it depicts that size of the orbital is increasing.

It tells the energy of the orbital as well as smaller number means less distance from nucleus and having less energy. Since electrons requires to absorb energy to jump into higher orbitals making n=2,3,4 etc. Thus electrons in the orbitals with higher n number indicates higher energy orbitals.

The question doesn't describe any experiment.  If the same experiment is repeated, no matter how many times, the acceleration due to gravity will remain the same as it was during the non-existent original experiment, and will have no effect on anything.

Compared to the weak nuclear force the electromagnetic force
Crazy boy [7]

Explanation:

Weak nuclear force:

The interaction between the subatomic particles is called weak nuclear force.

The weak nuclear force is one of the four fundamental forces.

The weak nuclear force is effective at very short distance.

The range and relative strength of weak nuclear force is 10⁻¹⁸ m and 10²⁵ with respect to gravitational force respectively

Deuterium is formed due to the fusion of protons and neutrons under the action the weak force.

Example : Beta decay

Electromagnetic force:  

The interaction between the charged particles is called electromagnetic force.

The electromagnetic force is one of the four fundamental forces.

The electromagnetic force is effective at long range distance.  

The range and relative strength of electromagnetic force is infinity and 10³⁶ with respect to gravitational force respectively

Example : light

How do determine which is Y2, Y1, X2, and X1 on a graph. <br><br> And how do find rise over run.
fredd [130]
One point will be X1,Y1 and the other will be X2,Y2. It does not matter which is which except that X1 and Y1 have to be the same point and X2 and Y2 have to be the same point. For example, let's say you were given (2,3) and (6,8). No matter which point is X1,Y1 and the other is X2,Y2, the slope will still be 5/4. 

The rise is the change in y from one point to the other. The run would be the change in x from one point to the other.

What do scientists theorize about the origins of the Moon? Choose the most accepted explanation.
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

What is most widely accepted today is a the giant-impact theory. It proposes that the Moon formed during a collision between the Earth and another small planet, about the size of Mars. The debris from this impact collected in an orbit around Earth to form the Moon.
