Answer:

4

Explanation:

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

m_1 = Mass of Earth

m_2 = Mass of Moon

r = Distance between Earth and Moon

Old gravitational force

F_o=\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

New gravitational force

F_n=\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{(\dfrac{1}{2}r)^2}

Dividing the equations

\dfrac{F_n}{F_o}=\dfrac{\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{(\dfrac{1}{2}r)^2}}{\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{F_n}{F_o}=\dfrac{\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{\dfrac{1}{4}r^2}}{\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{F_n}{F_o}=4

The ratio is \dfrac{F_n}{F_o}=4

The new force would be 4 times the old force

What is the difference between static and Kenetic friction?
rusak2 [61]
Static friction is the friction between an object at rest and the surface on which it is resting on.

Kinetic friction is the friction between a moving object and the surface on which it moves.

You should be extra careful during the hours of sunrise, sunset, and nighttime because
skelet666 [1.2K]

Poor visibility, difficulties in colour perception, lessened colour contrast vision due to darker shadows and reduced peripheral vision, these are the reasons why one has to be extra careful while driving during hours of sunrise, sunset and night time.  

<h3><u> Explanation: </u></h3>

Sunrise, sunset and night time are parts of the day with minimal or absolutely no presence of sunlight. To safely navigate roads, we require enough light in order to detect presence of other vehicles, signs and pedestrians. Less sunlight during sunrise and sunset light the sky but makes the roads and vehicles have a darker, less bright view. The contrast between colours is the least, making it difficult to identify objects and see clearly.  

A rising or a setting sun can also lead to glares on the driver’s view and thus obstruct it. Since a change in ambient light is observed, our eyes need to adjust with this change and this isn’t spontaneous. Night time driving has headlight glares from approaching vehicles and reduced surrounding visibility. The eyes switching for vision adaptability from dark to bright light if vehicles approach and pass by is not a quick action. Hence the driver’s vision is compromised in every such case and this may lead to accidents.

DetermiOne of the lines in the Balmer series of the hydrogen atom emission spectrum is at 397 nm. It results from a transition f
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

a)n =7 , b) n = 5

Explanation:

The energy levels of the hydrogen atom is described by the Bohr model

       E_{n} = - 13.606   1/n²

This equation energy is given in elector volts and n is an integer

A transition occurs when the electro sees from a superior to a lower state

       E₀ - E_{n} = -13.606 (1/n_{f}² - 1/n₀²)

Let's apply this expression

         n₀ = 2

Let's look for the energy of the different levels and subtract it

n₀          E_{n} (eV)

1            -13,606

2            -3.4015

3           - 1.5118

4           -0.850375

5           -0.54424

6           -0.3779

7           -0.2777

The wavelength of the transition is 397 nm = 397 10⁻⁹ m

The speed of light is related to wavelength and frequency

       c = λ f

The Planck equation gives the energy of a transition

      E = h f

      E = h c /λ

Let's calculate

     E = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸/397 10⁻⁹

     E = 5.01 10⁻¹⁹ J

Let's reduce to eV

     E = 5.01 10⁻¹⁹ J (1 eV / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J)

     E = 3.1313 eV

Let's examine the possible transitions from the initial level ni = 2

     ΔE = E_{2} - E_{n} = -3.1313

     En = 3.13 -3.4015

     E_{n} = 0.2702 eV

When examining the table we see that the level that this energy has is the level of n = 7

Part B      the transition is in the infrared

The frequency is 74 10¹² Hz

We use the Planck equation

       E = h f

       E = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 74 10¹²

       E = 4.9062 10⁻²⁰ J

       E = 4.9062 10⁻²⁰ / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹

       E = 0.3066 eV

We look for the level with the energy difference

     ΔE = E₄- E_{n} = 0.3066

     E_{n} = 0.3066 - 0.85037

     E_{n} = -0.54376 eV

When examining the table this energy has the level n = 5, therefore from this level the transition occurs
