Answer: The model is described by :

The strength of the field increases as you get closer to Earth, as shown by the smaller spaces between the circles.

Explanation :

According to universal gravitational law, the force acting in the universe between two objects is given by :

$F=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{r^2}$

It is clear that the gravitational force depends directly on the product of masses and inversely on the square of the distance between them.

The given image shows a model of the gravitational field around Earth. The arrows in the image show the direction of the force. Gravitational field depends on the position of objects.

As we move closer to the earth, the force increases and hence the field increase.

So, the correct option is (D) " The strength of the field increases as you get closer to Earth, as shown by the smaller spaces between the circles ".

If a = 8i + j - 2k and b = 5i - 3j + k show that a) a x b = -5i - 18j - 29k b) b X a = 50 + 18j +29k

loris [4]

Recall the definition of the cross product with respect to the unit vectors:

i × i = j × j = k × k = 0

i × j = k

j × k = i

k × i = j

and that the product is anticommutative, so that for any two vectors u and v, we have u × v = - (v × u). (This essentially takes care of part (b).)

Now, given a = 8i + j - 2k and b = 5i - 3j + k, we have

a × b = (8i + j - 2k) × (5i - 3j + k)

a × b = 40 (i × i) + 5 (j × i) - 10 (k × i)

… … … … - 24 (i × j) - 3 (j × j) + 6 (k × j)

… … … … + 8 (i × k) + (j × k) - 2 (k × k)

a × b = - 5 (i × j) - 10 (k × i) - 24 (i × j) - 6 (j × k) - 8 (k × i) + (j × k)

a × b = - 5k - 10j - 24k - 6i - 8j + i

a × b = -5i - 18j - 29k

How much heat is removed from 60 grams of steam at 100 °C to change it to 60 grams

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

45200J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Heat of vaporization of water = 2260J/g

Mass of steam = 20g

Temperature = 100°C

Unknown:

Energy released during the condensation = ?

Solution:

This change is a phase change and there is no change in temperature

To find the amount of heat released;

H = mL

m is the mass

L is the latent heat of vaporization

Insert the parameters and solve;

H = 20g x 2260J/g

H = 45200J

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

F = ⅔ F₀

Explanation:

For this exercise we use Coulomb's law

F = k q₁q₂ / r²

let's use the subscript "o" for the initial conditions

F₀ = k q² / r²

now the charge changes q₁ = q₂ = 2q and the new distance is r = 3 r

we substitute

F = k 4q² / 9 r²

F = k q² r² 4/9

F = ⅔ F₀

An iron atom (Fe) has 26 protons in it. If the atom has 20 electrons in it, explain what type of charge it has and how you can t

gogolik [260]

Answer:

The iron atom has a positive charge, making it a cation.

Explanation:

The atom has a nucleus, where the protons and neutrons, which are the subatomic particles with the highest mass, are located. Practically all the mass of the atom is concentrated in the nucleus.Protons have a positive electrical charge, while neutrons have no charge.

Electrons move around the nucleus with other negatively charged particles.

An iron atom (Fe) has 26 protons and 20 electrons in it. That is, there are 6 more protons than electrons. As mentioned, protons are positively charged. So the iron atom has a positive charge, making it a cation.
