Just how strong is the electric force? suppose you had two small boxes, each containing 1.0 g of protons. (a) if one were placed

on the moon by an astronaut and the other were left on the earth, and if they were connected by a very light (and very long!) string, what would be the tension in the string? express your answer in newtons and in pounds. do you need to take into account the gravitational forces of the earth and moon on the protons? why? (b) what gravitational force would each box of protons exert on the other box?

Let's use Newton's Law of Second Motion: F=ma. When no other direct force is acting on the system, the acceleration is due to the gravity. The modified equation becomes: F = mg. So, yes, you need to take into account the gravitational accelerations in the moon and on Earth. 

g,moon = 1.622 m/s²
g,Earth = 9.81 m/s²

The net force is the tension of the string:

F,Earth - F,moon = Tension
Tension = (1/1000 kg)(9.81 m/s²) - (1/1000 kg)(1.622 m/s²)
Tension = 8.188×10⁻³ N

To convert, 1 pound force is equal to 4.45 Newtons:

Tension = 8.188×10⁻³ N * 1 lbf/4.45 N
Tension = 1.84×10⁻³ lbf

Plsss help I don’t understand this
nekit [7.7K]

B is the correct option.

1. Given eqn;

S(t) = 1/2t² - 4t + 8

2.Differentiate the above eqn with respect to t;

<u>d(S(t))</u> = t - 4

dt

When distance, S, is differentiated it results to velocity.

V = t - 4

at t = 10

V = 10 - 4

V = 6 feet/s

Newer telephone circuits, built during the last decade, offer higher quality because they were built using analog transmission.
hammer [34]

Answer:

Well, newer telephone circuits built during the last decade are based on the digital transmission, not on the analog transmission. So it's the digital transmission circuit that has made the higher quality. Digital circuits converts the voice signals into the binary codes which is then translated again into the voice signal at the receiving end.

The answer is false.

Isotope what is the meaning
Nesterboy [21]

Isotope means that a chemical element that has the same number of protons but neutron number differs.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In isotope, the chemical element differs in neutron and nucleon number. Thus, different isotopes of a single component hold the same place in the periodic table.

Within the atom’s nucleus, protons are defined as an atomic number that is significantly equal to electrons in a neutral atom. An isotope of a given element has a different mass number. In general, every atomic number has a specific element, but in isotope, an atom may have a wide range of neutrons.
