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

Which of the following best describes why tidal energy is considered a renewable energy resource? A. The Moon receives energy fr
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

D. Tidal energy is replaced naturally by the Moon's gravity.

Explanation:

The reason tidal energy is considered a renewable energy resource is that Tidal energy is replaced naturally by the Moon's gravity. The Moon's gravity creates bulges on the side of Earth that is closest and farthest from the Moon. These bulges also pull water causing high tides in those areas. As the Earth rotates these areas experience low tide while the areas that had low tide now experience high tide. This constant shift creates tidal energy every day, which is replenished naturally.

A diode for which the forward voltage drop is 0.7 V at 1.0 mA is operated at 0.5 V. What is the value of the current
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

the current value is 0.335 \mu A

Explanation:

The computation of the value of the current is given below:

z_i = I_s e^{\frac{0.7}{ut} }= 10^{-3}\\\\Z_z = I_s e^{\frac{0.5}{ut} }\\\\\frac{Z_z}{Z_i}= \frac{Z_z}{10^{-3}}  = e^{\frac{0.5\times 0.7}{0.025} }\\\\= 0.335 \mu A

Hence, the current value is 0.335 \mu A
