Answer:

one third

Explanation:

F = 2000 N

Initially, masses are m1 and m2 and the distance between the two masses be r.

Now, the masses are changed.

m1' = m1 / 3, m2' = m2 / 3

Let the new distance between the two masses is r'.

F = G m1 x m2 / r^2 ..... (1)

F = G m1' x m2' / r'^2

F = G (m1/3) (m2/3) / r'^2

Substitute the value of F from equation (1)

G m1 x m2 / r^2 = G m1 x m2 / 9 r'^2

By solving we get

r' = r /3

Thus, the distance between them is also one third.

What is the measured value always positive from one point to another

LekaFEV [45]

It is called "distance". In fact, distance measures how far apart two points are from each other, and it is always a positive number.
In mathematics, for instance, the distance between two points of coordinates (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) on a xy-plane is defined as
$d= \sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2 + (y_1-y_2)^2}$
and by definition, this number is always positive.

You have a radioactive sample with a half-life of 1 hour. At t = 1 hour, a Geiger counter measures its radiation at 40 counts/mi

Mama L [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that, .

The half-life of a radioactive element is

t½ = 1 hr.

At the first hour, the radioactive element has 40 counts/minute

After 4 hours it has 5 counts/minute

So,

We want to filled the table.

0 hours, I.e at the start

40 counts/mins × 2 = 80 counts / mis

First half-life (first hour) is

40 counts/mins

Second half-life (second hour)

40 counts/mins × ½ = 20 counts/mins

Third half-life (third hour)

40 counts/mins × ¼ = 10 counts / mins

Fourth half life (fourth hour)

40 counts/mins × ⅛ = 5 counts / mins

So, the table is

Time........................Geiger Counter Rate

0 hours.................... 80 counts / minutes

1 hour........................ 40 counts / minutes

2 hours..................... 20 counts / minutes

3 hours..................... 10counts / minutes

4 hours...................... 5 counts / minute

Is lateral shift or lateral displacement same ?

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

When a ray of light passes through a glass slab of a certain thickness, the ray gets displaced or shifted from the original path. This is called lateral shift/displacement.
