Question:

A spaceship enters the solar system moving toward the Sun at a constant speed relative to the Sun. By its own clock, the time elapsed between the time it crosses the orbit of Jupiter and the time it crosses the orbit of Mars is 35.0 minutes

How fast is the spaceship traveling towards the Sun? The radius of the orbit of Jupiter is 43.2 light-minutes, and that of the orbit of Mars is 12.6 light-minutes.

Answer:

S = 5.508 × 10¹¹m

V = 2.62 × 10⁸ m/s

Explanation:

The radius of the orbit of Jupiter, Rj is 43.2 light-minutes

radius of the orbit of Mars, Rm is 12.6 light-minutes

Distance travelled S = (Rj - Rm)

= 43.2 - 12.6 = 30.6 light- minutes

= 30.6 × (3 ×10⁸m/s) × 60 s

= 5.508 × 10¹¹m

time = 35mins = (35 × 60 secs)

= 2100 secs

speed = distance/time

V = 5.508 × 10¹¹m / 2100 s

V = 2.62 × 10⁸ m/s

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

2874.33 m/s²

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-0^2}{2\times h}\\\Rightarrow v^2=2ah\ m/s

Now H-h = 0.588 - 0.002 = 0.586 m

The final velocity will be the initial velocity

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow 0^2-u^2=2gs\\\Rightarrow -2ah=2\times g(H-h)\\\Rightarrow -2a0.002=2\times g0.586\\\Rightarrow a=-\frac{0.586\times -9.81}{0.002}\\\Rightarrow a=2874.33\ m/s^2

Acceleration of the frog is 2874.33 m/s²

what should be done in order to increase the gravitational force between two objects? Decrease the mass of both of the objects.
sesenic [268]

Answer:

Decrease the distance between the two objects.

Explanation:

The force (F) of attraction between two masses (M₁ and M₂) separated by a distance (r) is given by:

F = GM₁M₂ / r²

NOTE: G is the gravitational force constant.

From the equation:

F = GM₁M₂ / r²

We can say that the force is directly proportional to the masses of the object and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. This implies that an increase in any of the masses will increase the force of attraction and likewise, a decrease in any of the masses will lead to a decrease in the force of attraction.

Also, an increase in the distance between the masses will result in a decrease in the force of attraction and a decrease in the distance between the masses, will result in an increase in the force of attraction.

Considering the question given above,

To increase the gravitational force between the two objects, we must decrease the distance between the two objects as explained above.

The model of the atom has changed as scientists have gathered new evidence. Four models of the atom are shown below, but one imp
nexus9112 [7]

Answer: Dalton’s model

Explanation:

In the attached image we can see four atomic models labeled with four letters:

W represents the current and accepeted atomic model: a nucleus with an electron cloud, where the orbit and position of the electrons around the nucleus is defined by specific regions (associated with specific energy levels) where there is a greater probability of finding the electron at any given moment. It is important to note this model was improved by the works in quantum physics done by Louis de Broglie and Erwin Schrodinger.

X represents Rutherford's model (This model was proposed after Thomson's model). Ernest Rutherford conducted a series of experiments in order to corroborate Thomson's atomic model. However the results of the experiment led him to find out there is a concentration of charge in the atom's core (which was later called nucleus) surrounded by electrons.  This lead to a new atomic model, in which the atom has a positive charged nucleus surrounded by negative charged particles that move similar to the orbit of the planet around the Sun.

Y represents Thomson's model, also called  the <em>plum pudding</em> model. This scientific found out that atoms contain small subatomic particles with a negative charge (later called electrons). However, taking into consideration that at that time there was still no evidence of the atom nucleus, Thomson thought the electrons were immersed in the atom of positive charge that counteracted the negative charge of the electrons. Just like the raisins embedded in a pudding or bread.

Z represents Bohr's model. This model was proposed by the danish physicist Niels Bohr after Rutherford's model. In fact, this model was Rutherford's model with the following addition: electrons orbit the nucleus (like planets around the sun) in specific orbits at different energy levels around the nucleus.

So, the only missing model is <u>Dalton's model</u>, which was the first atomic model:  the atom represented as a solid, indestructible and indivisible mass. An idea that was already accepted by that time since the ancient Greeks.
