The Law of Universal Gravitation

- Gravity is an attractive force that pulls two objects toward one another.
Gravity is stronger coming from heavy objects when compared to light objects. The force of gravity weakens as the distance between objects increases.

- All objects in the universe feel the effects of gravity. Us humans feel the Earth’s gravitational pull towards its center. The Sun, which is larger than the other planets, pulls all of them toward itself, and each planet pulls back against the Sun. Since they are much smaller than the Sun, their pull is much weaker.

- Humans have a gravitational pull toward other humans, but it is weak and not noticeable. Therefore, the force of gravity diminishes with the decrease in size.

The force due of attraction between two bodies is proportional to the mass of both objects but inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

The rhinestones in costume jewelry are glass with index of refraction 1.50. To make them more reflective, they are often coated

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to the given question, the computation of minimum coating thickness is shown below:-

The condition for constructive interference is

$2t_{min} = (m + \frac{1}{2} )\times \frac{\lambda}{^nmateral}$

$= (0 + \frac{1}{2} )\times \frac{\lambda}{^nmateral}$

$t = \frac{\lambda}{4n}$

Now we will put the values to the above formula to reach the answer

$= \frac{480nm}{4\times 2.0}$

= 60

Therefore we simply applied the above formula to determine the minimum coating thickness

Calculate the Schwarzschild radius (in kilometers) for each of the following.1.) A 1 ×108MSun black hole in the center of a quas

Westkost [7]

Answer:

(I). The Schwarzschild radius is $2.94\times10^{8}\ km$

(II). The Schwarzschild radius is 17.7 km.

(III). The Schwarzschild radius is $1.1\times10^{-7}\ km$

(IV). The Schwarzschild radius is $7.4\times10^{-29}\ km$

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of black hole $m= 1\times10^{8} M_{sun}$

(I). We need to calculate the Schwarzschild radius

Using formula of radius

$R_{g}=\dfrac{2MG}{c^2}$

Where, G = gravitational constant

M = mass

c = speed of light

Put the value into the formula

$R_{g}=\dfrac{2\times6.67\times10^{-11}\times1\times10^{8}\times1.989\times10^{30}}{(3\times10^{8})^2}$

$R_{g}=2.94\times10^{8}\ km$

(II). Mass of block hole $m= 6 M_{sun}$

We need to calculate the Schwarzschild radius

Using formula of radius

$R_{g}=\dfrac{2MG}{c^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$R_{g}=\dfrac{2\times6.67\times10^{-11}\times6\times1.989\times10^{30}}{(3\times10^{8})^2}$

$R_{g}=17.7\ km$

(III). Mass of block hole m= mass of moon

We need to calculate the Schwarzschild radius

Using formula of radius

$R_{g}=\dfrac{2MG}{c^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$R_{g}=\dfrac{2\times6.67\times10^{-11}\times7.35\times10^{22}}{(3\times10^{8})^2}$

$R_{g}=1.1\times10^{-7}\ km$

(IV). Mass = 50 kg

We need to calculate the Schwarzschild radius

Using formula of radius

$R_{g}=\dfrac{2MG}{c^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$R_{g}=\dfrac{2\times6.67\times10^{-11}\times50}{(3\times10^{8})^2}$

$R_{g}=7.4\times10^{-29}\ km$

Hence, (I). The Schwarzschild radius is $2.94\times10^{8}\ km$

(II). The Schwarzschild radius is 17.7 km.

(III). The Schwarzschild radius is $1.1\times10^{-7}\ km$

(IV). The Schwarzschild radius is $7.4\times10^{-29}\ km$

How do greenhouse gases such as CO2 and N2O contribute to an increase in Earth’s atmospheric temperature?

konstantin123 [22]

CO2 and N2O keep the energy that gets to Earth from the sun inside the atmosphere. Without greenhouse gases, our planet would be too cold. But due to the recent increase in greenhouse gases, more energy released from the sun is contained in the Earth, heating it up.

Spiderman, whose mass is 70.0 kg, is dangling on the free end of a 12.2-m-long rope, the other end of which is fixed to a tree l

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

U = -3978.8 J

Explanation:

The work of the gravitational force U just depends of the heigth and is calculated as:

U = -mgh

Where m is the mass, g is the gravitational acceleration and h the alture.

for calculate the alture we will use the following equation:

h = L-Lcos(θ)

Where L is the large of the rope and θ is the angle.

Replacing data:

h = 12.2-12.2cos(58.4)

h = 5.8 m

Finally U is equal to:

U = -70(9.8)(5.8)

U = -3,978.8 J

A 4kg brick is dropped from the top of a building whose hight is 30m.what is the velocity with which it reaches the ground

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

=24.25 ^−1

Explanation:

Let and be initial and final velocity of the body respectively,

be acceleration due to gravity ( 9.8^−2 ), ℎ be the height of the body.

=0 ^ −1

ℎ=30

we know that, ^2−^ 2=2ℎ

^2=2∗9.8∗30

^2=588

=24.25 ^−1
