The gravitational force between the charged constituents of the atom is negligible compared with the electric force between them

. The electric force is so strong, however, that any net charge on an object quickly attracts nearby opposite charges, neutralizing the object. As a result, gravity plays a greater role in the mechanics of moving objects in everyday life. QUESTION If the distance between two charges is doubled, by what factor is the magnitude of the electric force changed?

Answer: The initial force is reduced a factor 1/4 when the separation between charge is doubled

Explanation: As it well known the electric force between two charges is given by:

Finitial=k*q1*q2/d^2 where d is the distance between charges and k is a constant

if the distance is doubled this means 2*dinitial thus the new force is equal to F initial* 1/4

What is the longest wavelength of light that will emit electrons from a metal whose work function is 3.70 eV
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

h f = Wf + K

where the total energy available is h f, Wf is the work function or the work needed to remove the electron and K is the kinetic energy of the removed electron

If K = zero then hf = Wf

Wf = h f = h c / λ    or

λ = h c / Wf = 6.63E-34 * 3.0E8 / (3.7 * 1.6E-19)

λ = 6.63 * 3 / (3.7 * 1.6) E-7 = 3.36E-7

This would be 3360 angstroms or 336 millimicrons

Visible light = 400-700 millimicrons

Is the earth's gravitational force on the sun larger than, smaller than, or equal to the sun's gravitational force on the earth?
Leona [35]

Answer:

The earth's gravitational force on the sun is equal to the sun's gravitational force on the earth

Explanation:

Newton's third law (law of action-reaction) states that:

"When an object A exerts a force (called action) on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (called reaction) on object A"

In other words, when two objects exert a force on each other, then the magnitude of the two forces is the same (while the directions are opposite).

In this problem, we can call the Sun as "object A" and the Earth as "object B". According to Newton's third law, therefore, we can say that the gravitational force that the Earth exerts on the Sun is equal (in magnitude, and opposite in direction) to the gravitational force that the Sun exerts on the Earth.

1. Define friction. Name and describe two kinds of friction.
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

Friction is a force that holds back the movement of a sliding object.

Explanation:

The two types of friction: Static friction and Kinetic friction.  Static friction operates between two surfaces that aren't moving relative to each other, while kinetic friction acts between objects in motion.

Ms. Stafford wants to try racing with a push start. A student pushes her at 5 m/s before the rocket kicks in. The rocket still o
Gnom [1K]
The initial velocity of Ms. Stafford is v_0 = 5 m/s, while her acceleration is 
a=4 m/s^2
This is a uniform accelerated motion, so we can calculate the total distance travelled by Ms. Stafford in a time of t=7.0 s using the law of motion for a uniform accelerated motion:
S=v_0t +  \frac{1}{2} at^2 = (5 m/s)(7.0 s)+ \frac{1}{2}(2 m/s^2)(7.0 s)^2 = 84 m
