Answer:

$1.94\cdot 10^{20} N$

Explanation:

The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is given by the equation:

$F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between the objects

The gravitational force is always attractive.

In this problem, we have:

$m_1 = 5.98\cdot 10^{24}kg$ is the mass of the Earth

$m_2 = 7.34\cdot 10^{22} kg$ is the mass of the Moon

$r=3.88\cdot 10^8 m$ is the separation between the Earth and the Moon

Therefore, the gravitational force between them is

$F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(5.98\cdot 10^{24})(7.34\cdot 10^{22})}{(3.88\cdot 10^8)^2}=1.94\cdot 10^{20} N$

Answer:

Answer explained below

Explanation:

(a) The rays are diverging near the lens. They change the direction when they passed through the converging lens

(b) If the light rays don't bend they will move away from the optical (principal axis) as the other waves are moving.

(c) If we decrease the distance between lens and light source, most of the rays diverge and no ray converges on the screen even after passing through the lens. Here is a screenshot.

A resistor with an unknown resistance is connected in parallel to a 13 Ω resistor. When both resistors are connected in parallel

Answer:

R2 = 10.31Ω

Explanation:

For two resistors in parallel you have that the equivalent resistance is:

$\frac{1}{R_{eq}}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}\\\\$ (1)

R1 = 13 Ω

R2 = ?

The equivalent resistance of the circuit can also be calculated by using the Ohm's law:

$I=\frac{V}{R_{eq}}\\\\R_{eq}=\frac{V}{I}$ (2)

V: emf source voltage = 23 V

I: current = 4 A

You calculate the Req by using the equation (2):

$R_{eq}=\frac{23V}{4A}=5.75\Omega$

Now, you can calculate the unknown resistor R2 by using the equation (1):

$\frac{1}{R_2}=\frac{1}{R_{eq}}-\frac{1}{R_1}\\\\R_2=\frac{R_{eq}R_1}{R_1-R_{eq}}\\\\R_2=\frac{(5.75\Omega)(13\Omega)}{13\Omega-5.75\Omega}=10.31\Omega$
