• Objects “fall” toward the center of Earth. (TRUE)

Since the gravitational force between earth and any object is always along the line joining the centers of two so all the objects near the surface of earth will always feel force towards the centre of the earth due to gravity.

• Objects are pulled by Earth but do not pull on Earth. (FALSE)

Since gravitational force will always follow Newton's III law as per which every action has equal and opposite reaction force so object near the surface of earth will also pull the earth as earth is pulling the object towards the center.

• Objects accelerate at a rate of 9.8 m/s each second. (TRUE)

Since acceleration due to gravity of Earth is 9.8 m/s^2 so here we can say that all objects near the surface of earth will accelerate towards the center of earth at rate of 9.8 m/s^2 due to gravitational pull.

• Objects travel at a rate of 9.8 m/s to are the center of Earth. (FALSE)

Since earth is pulling all objects near its surface with gravitational force so objects can not move at constant speed but it will move with constant acceleration.

• Objects are pulled by Earth more strongly than they pull on Earth. (FALSE)

Since gravitational force will always follow Newton's III law which say every action has equal and opposite reaction so we can say that force due to all objects on earth will be same as the force of earth on the object.

What is a mafic rock

sertanlavr [38]

Mafic is an adjective describing a silicate mineral or igneous rock that is rich in magnesium and iron, and is thus a portmanteau of magnesium and ferric. Most mafic minerals are dark in color, and common rock-forming mafic minerals include olivine, pyroxene, amphibole, and biotite

A high-mass star has more "fuel" than a low-mass star. which lives longer? why?

forsale [732]

Low mass lives long .
Because High mass loss his energy sooner and it will die . so low mass longer live

How many photons will be required to raise the temperature of 1.8 g of water by 2.5 k ?'?

tatyana61 [14]

Missing part in the text of the problem:
"<span>Water is exposed to infrared radiation of wavelength 3.0×10^−6 m"</span>

First we can calculate the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of the water, which is given by
$Q=m C_s \Delta T$
where
m=1.8 g is the mass of the water
$C_s = 4.18 J/(g K)$ is the specific heat capacity of the water
$\Delta T=2.5 K$ is the increase in temperature.

Substituting the data, we find
$Q=(1.8 g)(4.18 J/(gK))(2.5 K)=18.8 J=E$

We know that each photon carries an energy of
$E_1 = hf$
where h is the Planck constant and f the frequency of the photon. Using the wavelength, we can find the photon frequency:
$\lambda = \frac{c}{f}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{3 \cdot 10^{-6} m}=1 \cdot 10^{14}Hz$

So, the energy of a single photon of this frequency is
$E_1 = hf =(6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} J)(1 \cdot 10^{14} Hz)=6.6 \cdot 10^{-20} J$

and the number of photons needed is the total energy needed divided by the energy of a single photon:
$N= \frac{E}{E_1}= \frac{18.8 J}{6.6 \cdot 10^{-20} J} =2.84 \cdot 10^{20} photons$
