Answer:

Explanation:

(a) The force of gravity is called an attractive force because it is the force (although weak) in which a planetary body or matter uses to attract an object towards itself.

(b) Yes, it does and the formula for force of gravity between any two object is

F = G\frac{m1m2}{r}

where m1 and m2 are masses of the first and second object respectively

r is the distance between the center of the two masses

G is the gravitational constant

An electron in the n = 7 level of the hydrogen atom relaxes to a lower energy level, emitting light of 397 nm. what is the value
Dimas [21]

Answer:

n_f=2

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initially, the electron is in n = 7 energy level. When it relaxes to a lower energy level, emitting light of 397 nm. We need to find the value of n for the level to which the electron relaxed. It can be calculate using the formula as :

\dfrac{1}{\lambda}=R(\dfrac{1}{n_f^2}-\dfrac{1}{n_i^2})

\dfrac{1}{397\times 10^{-9}\ m}=R(\dfrac{1}{n_f^2}-\dfrac{1}{(7)^2})

R = Rydberg constant, R=1.097\times 10^7\ m^{-1}

\dfrac{1}{397\times 10^{-9}\ m}=1.097\times 10^7\ m^{-1}\times (\dfrac{1}{n_f^2}-\dfrac{1}{(7)^2})

Solving above equation we get the value of final n is,

n_f=2.04

or

n_f=2

So, it will relax in the n = 2. Hence, this is the required solution.

Technician A says crimping solderless connections is the best method of splicing wires. Technician B says crimping should not be
algol13

Answer:

Technician b is correct.

Explanation:

Crimping cable allows a firm connection in mechanical terms and allows a low resistance path for the signal or the current flow, solder although it is better in terms of electrical conduction, can be impractical if the cable is subjected to excessive movement.

A crimped cable with excessive movement can also be easily broken at the ends, where it joins the part of the cable that is crimped, for this reason, a cable that is in excessive motion is recomended to be spliced ​​by joining cable with cable .

In order to decide which metod is better for splicing cables its necessary to evaluate each situation separatly.

A supertanker ( = 1.70 × 108 kg) is moving with a constant velocity. Its engines generate a forward thrust of 7.40 × 105 N. Dete
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

(a) 0 (b) F=1.67\times 10^9\ N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a supertanker, m=1.7\times 10^8\ kg

The engine of a generate a forward thrust of, F=7.4\times 10^5\ N

(a) As the supertanker is moving with a constant velocity. We need to find the magnitude of the resistive force exerted on the tanker by the water. It is given by :

F = ma, a is the acceleration

For constant velocity, a = 0

So, F = 0

(b) The magnitude of the upward buoyant force exerted on the tanker by the water is equal to the weight of the ship.

F = mg

F=1.7\times 10^8\times 9.8\\\\F=1.67\times 10^9\ N

Hence, this is the required solution.

A grasshopper hops along a level road. on each hop, the grasshopper launches itself itself at an angle of 45 degrees. and achiev
Harman [31]

Answer: 1.9 m/s


Explanation:


1) Data:

height, y = 0

range, x = 0.77m

angle, α = 45°

question, horizontal velocity, Vox = ?


2) Physical principles and formulas

Projectile motion.

y=V_{0y}t-gt^{2} /2\\ \\ x=V_{0x}t\\ \\ V_{0y}=V_0sin\alpha \\ \\ V_{0x}=V_0cos\alpha


3) Solution

0.77=V_0cos(45)t\\ t=0.77/(V_0cos(45))


y=0=V_0sin(45)t-gt^{2} /2


Factor


0=t[V_0sin(45)-gt/2]


Discard t = 0 and solve for the other factor:


gt/2=V_0sin(45)\\ \\  V_0= gt/(2sin(45))=9.81[0.77/V_{0}cos(45)]/[2sin(45)]\\ \\ V_0^2=9.81[0.77/(2cos(45)sin(45)=9.81[0.77/sin(90)]=7.55\\ \\ V_0}=\sqrt{7.55} =2.8


Find Vx:


Vx=V_{0x}=V_{0}cos(45)=2.75(\sqrt{2} /2]=1.9


Vx = 1.9m/s ← answer
