Answer:

Decreased by a factor of 4.5

Explanation:

"We have Newton formula for attraction force between 2 objects with mass and a distance between them:

F_G = G\frac{M_1M_2}{R^2}

where G =6.67408 × 10^{-11} m^3/kgs^2 is the gravitational constant on Earth. M_1, M_2 are the masses of the object and Earth itself. and R distance between, or the Earth radius.

So when R is tripled and mass is doubled, we have the following ratio of the new gravity over the old ones:

\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{G\frac{M_1M_2}{R^2}}{G\frac{M_1m_2}{r^2}}

\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{\frac{M_2}{R^2}}{\frac{m_2}{r^2}}

\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{M_2}{R^2}\frac{r^2}{m_2}

\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{M_2}{m_2}(\frac{r}{R})^2

Since M_2 = 2m_2 and r = R/3

\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{2}{3^2} = 2/9 = 1/4.5

So gravity would have been decreased by a factor of 4.5

A Young's interference experiment is performed with blue-green laser light. The separation between the slits is 0.500 mm, and th
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

λ = 5.2 x 10⁻⁷ m = 520 nm

Explanation:

From Young's Double Slit Experiment, we know the following formula for the distance between consecutive bright fringes:

Δx = λL/d

where,

Δx = fringe spacing = distance of 1st bright fringe from center = 0.00322 m

L = Distance between slits and screen = 3.1 m

d = Separation between slits = 0.0005 m

λ = wavelength of light = ?

Therefore,

0.00322 m = λ(3.1 m)/(0.0005 m)

λ = (0.00322 m)(0.0005 m)/(3.1 m)

<u>λ = 5.2 x 10⁻⁷ m = 520 nm</u>

A person with a mass of 72 kg is riding a bicycle is accelerating at a rate of 5m/s on a horizontal surface. What is the weight
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

w = 706.32 [N]

Explanation:

The force due to gravitational acceleration can be calculated by means of the product of mass by gravitational acceleration.

w = m*g

where:

w = weight [N] (units of Newtons)

m = mass = 72 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

Then we have:

w = 72*9.81\\w = 706.32 [N]
