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 lad, waiting for his friend walks in the sidewalk, in front of her house, from the front door, first, he moves towards the Pos
Andreas93 [3]

His total displacement from his original position is -1 m

We know that total displacement of an object from a position x to a position x', d = final position - initial position.

d = x' - x

If we assume the lad's initial position in front of her house is x = 0 m. The lad then moves towards the positive x-axis, 5 m. He then ends up at x' = 5 m. He then finally goes back 6 m.

Since displacement = final position - initial position, and his displacement is d' = -6 m (since he moves in the negative x - direction or moves back) from his initial position of x' = 5 m.

His final position, x" after moving back 6 m is gotten from

x" - x' = -6 m

x" = -6 + x'

x" = -6 + 5

x" = -1 m

Thus, his total displacement from his original position is

d = final position - initial position

d = x" - x

d = -1 m - 0 m

d = -1 m

So, his total displacement from his original position is -1 m

The transfer of heat from the Sun is in the form of thermal radiation (also called infrared radiation)
The transfer of heat at the person’s feet is by thermal conduction. During the day the sand will be hot so if you step on it with bare feet there will be conduction of heat to the feet.

A paper airplane moving 2.33 m/s has 0.161 J of KE. What is its mass? (Unit = kg)
LekaFEV [45]

The kinetic energy of an object is given by:

KE = 0.5mv²

KE = kinetic energy, m = mass, v = speed

Given values:

KE = 0.161J, v = 2.33m/s

Plug in and solve for m:

0.161 = 0.5m(2.33)²

m = 0.059kg

Which property helps to explain differences in the specific heat capacities of
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

D. Forces between molecules

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity of water can be defined as the amount of heat a gram of water must lose or absorb in order to change its temperature by a degree Celsius. It is measured in Joules per kilogram per degree Celsius (J/kg°C). Generally, the specific heat capacity of water is 4.182J/kg°C and is the highest among liquids.

Mathematically, the specific heat capacity of a substance is given by the formula;

c = \frac {Q}{mdt}

Where;

Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.

m represents the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity of water.

dt represents the change in temperature.

Cohesion is a property of water and it typically refers to the attraction between molecules of water which holds them together.

In Science, the property which helps to explain differences in the specific heat capacities of two substances is the forces between molecules.

This ultimately implies that, the more closely bonded the atoms of a substance are, the higher or greater would be the substance's specific heat capacity. Thus, it varies for the various states of matter i.e solid, liquid and gas.
