In the nucleus of all atoms are sub-atomic particles called protons and neutrons. all protons have a positive charge. since all

like-charged particles repel each other, you would logically conclude that protons could not stay in close proximity to each other in an atom's nucleus. how do you explain the fact that protons stay close together in the nucleus?

Protons stay close together in the nucleus because the strong nuclear force.


There are four natural elemental forces: 1) gravity, 2) electromagnetic force, 3) weak nuclear force, and 4) strong nuclear force.


Gravity is an attractive force. It acts at long distance and is proportion to the product of the masses. It is not relevant in the nucleous of an atoms because the masses are tiny.


Electrotmagnetic force may be attractive or repulsive. Indeed, as stated since the protons have all positive charge, this force is repulsive, and you could expect that they the protons cannot stand so close to each other in the nucleous.


Strong nuclear force is the strongest of the four forces in nature and acts only to very short distances. It is the atractive force between the partilces in the atom nuclei. This force overcomes the electromagnetic repulsion between the protons. This force is responsible for keeping the protons and the neutrons together in the nuclei.

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

There are so many planets out there that there must be habitable planets if not in our galaxy but the Universe.

Although the chances of advanced life are slim, small primitive life like microbes or sea life may still exist.

A 4000 kg satellite is placed 2.60 x 10^6 m above the surface of the Earth.
mash [69]

a) The acceleration of gravity is 4.96 m/s^2

b) The critical velocity is 6668 m/s (24,006 km/h)

c) The period of the orbit is 8452 s

d) The satellite completes 10.2 orbits per day

e) The escape velocity of the satellite is 9430 m/s

f) The escape velocity of the rocket is 11,191 m/s

Explanation:

a)

The acceleration of gravity for an object near a planet is given by

g=\frac{GM}{(R+h)^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the planet

R is the radius of the planet

h is the height above the surface

In this problem,

M=5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg (mass of the Earth)

R=6.37\cdot 10^6 m (Earth's radius)

h=2.60\cdot 10^6 m (altitude of the satellite)

Substituting,

g=\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.98\cdot 10^{24}}{(6.37\cdot 10^6 + 2.60\cdot 10^6)^2}=4.96 m/s^2

b)

The critical velocity for a satellite orbiting around a planet is given by

v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{R+h}}

where we have again:

M=5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg (mass of the Earth)

R=6.37\cdot 10^6 m (Earth's radius)

h=2.60\cdot 10^6 m (altitude of the satellite)

Substituting,

v=\sqrt{\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.98\cdot 10^{24}}{(6.37\cdot 10^6 + 2.60\cdot 10^6)}}=6668 m/s

Converting into km/h,

v=6668 m/s \cdot \frac{3600 s/h}{1000 m/km}=24,006 km/h

c)

The period of the orbit is given by the circumference of the orbit divided by the velocity:

T=\frac{2\pi (R+h)}{v}

where

R=6.37\cdot 10^6 m

h=2.60\cdot 10^6 m

v = 6668 m/s

Substituting,

T=\frac{2\pi (6.37\cdot 10^6 + 2.60\cdot 10^6)}{6668}=8452 s

d)

One day consists of:

t = 24 \frac{hours}{day} \cdot 60 \frac{min}{hours} \cdot 60 \frac{s}{min}=86400 s

While the period of the orbit is

T = 8452 s

So, the number of orbits completed by the satellite in one day is

n=\frac{t}{T}=\frac{86400}{8452}=10.2

e)

The escape velocity for an object in the gravitational field of a planet is given by

v=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R+h}}

where here we have:

M=5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg

R=6.37\cdot 10^6 m

h=2.60\cdot 10^6 m

Substituting, we find

v=\sqrt{\frac{2(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.98\cdot 10^{24}}{(6.37\cdot 10^6 + 2.60\cdot 10^6)}}=9430 m/s

f)

We can apply again the formula to find the escape velocity for the rocket:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R+h}}

Where this time we have:

M=5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg

R=6.37\cdot 10^6 m

h=0, because the rocket is located at the Earth's surface, so its altitude is zero.

And substituting,

v=\sqrt{\frac{2(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.98\cdot 10^{24}}{(6.37\cdot 10^6)}}=11,191 m/s

A light bulb can be all of the following except
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer: A light bulb can be all of the following except option C (a consumer product if it is used to light the office of the board of directors.)

Explanation:

Products are classified as being BUSINESS or CONSUMER products according to the buyer's intended use of the product.

-Consumer products: these are sold goods that are used for personal, family, or household use. The intention of the buyer is for the products to satisfy his personal needs and desires. Example of some of the consumer products include: toothpaste, eatables and clothes.

Business products: products that are not for personal use but for the manufacturing of other goods are called business products.

Therefore a bulb is not serving as a personal use when used to light the office of the board of directors rather it's serving as a business product .

What's the gravity?
poizon [28]

Answer:

gravity is the force by which a planet or another body draws objects towards its Centre. the force of gravity keeps all of the planets in an orbit around the sun.

Explanation:

what is gravity made of?

gravity are made of proposed gravity parts that are made quantum particles which called gravitational anywhere there is gravitation there is gravity like on Earth in the Solar System most importantly in the minisclue infant and intervention universe .
