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

A bullet can travel at a speed of over 1000 m/s. When a bullet is fired from a rifle, the actual firing makes a distinctive soun
slamgirl [31]

Explanation:

When a bullet is fired from a rifle, the actual firing makes a distinctive sound, but people at a distance may hear a second because the bullet creates a shock wave , a little sonic boom( speed of this sonic boom is greater than the speed of sound). It is this sound only that is heard by the people at a distance from the gun.

How would decreasing the volume of the reaction vessel affect each of the following equilibria?2NOBr(g)⇌2NO(g)+Br2(g)
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

The equilibrium position will shift towards the left hand side or reactants side

Explanation:

Decreasing the volume (increasing the pressure) of the system will shift the equilibrium position towards the lefthand side or reactants side. This is because, decreasing the volume (increasing the pressure) implies shifting the equilibrium position towards the side having the least number of moles.

There are two moles of reactants and a total of three moles of products(total). Hence decreasing the volume and increasing the pressure of the gas phase reaction will shift the equilibrium position towards the lefthand side.

Ratling [72]

Answer:

D) momentum of cannon + momentum of projectile= 0

Explanation:

The law of conservation of momentum states that the total momentum of an isolated system is constant.

In this case, the system cannon+projectile can be considered as isolated, because no external forces act on it (in fact, the surface is frictionless, so there is no friction acting on the cannon). Therefore, the total momentum of the two objects (cannon+projectile) must be equal before and after the firing:

p_i = p_f

But the initial momentum is zero, because at the beginning both the cannon and the projectile are at rest:

p_i = 0

So the final momentum, which is sum of the momentum of the cannon and of the projectile, must also be zero:

p_f = p_{cannon}+p_{projectile} =0

2.A 5 Ohm resistor is connected to a 9 Volt battery. How many Joules of thermal energy are produced in 7 minutes?
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Explanation:

2 )

power of an electric device = V² / R where V is volts and R is resistance

putting given data

power = 9²/ 5

= 16.2 J/s

energy produced in 7 minutes

= 16.2 x 7 x 60

= 6804J .

3 ) Power of an electrical device

= V² / R

= V X I where I  is current

= 4.5 x .5

= 2.25 W or J/s

4 )

energy used in 3 minutes with power of 2.25 W

= 2.25 x 3 x 60

= 405 J .

7 )

power of a electrical device

= V x I

IR x I  where R is resistance .

= I²R

putting given data

power = .005² x 50

= 1.25 x 10⁻³ W .

8 )

Energy used up by a 60 W bulb in 2.5 hours

= 60 x 2.5 x 60 x 60

= 5.4 x 10⁵ J .
