Answer:

F' = F/16

So, the force of gravity has become 16 times less than initial value.

Explanation:

The force of gravity between two planets, is given by the following formula:

F = Gm₁m₂/r²   ----------- equation 1

where,

F = Force of gravity between two planets

G = Gravitational Constant

m₁ = Mass of one planet

m₂ = Mass of other plant

r = Distance between two planets

Now, if the distance between the planets (r) is 10 times smaller, then Force of gravity will become:

F' = Gm₁m₂/(4r)²

F' = (1/16) (Gm₁m₂/r²)

using equation 1:

<u>F' = F/16</u>

<u>So, the force of gravity has become 16 times less than initial value.</u>

What is the thinnest soap film (excluding the case of zero thickness) that appears black when illuminated with light with a wave
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

thinnest soap film is  206.76 nm

Explanation:

Given data

wavelength = 550 nm

index of refraction n  = 1.33

to find out

What is the thinnest soap film

solution

we have wavelength  λ = 550 nm

that is  λ = 550 × 10^{-9} m

and n = 1.3

we will find the thickness of soap film as given by formula that is

thickness = λ/2n

thickness = 550 × 10^{-9}  / 2(1.33)

thickness = 206.76 × 10^{-9}  m

thinnest soap film is  206.76 nm

CAN SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE!? After chasing its prey, a cougar leaves skid marks that are 236 m in length. Assuming the cougar sk
malfutka [58]

Answer:

u=36.8m/s

Explanation:

because of the acceleration is a constant acceleration we can use one of the "SUVAT" equations

u^2=v^2-2ā*s. where:

u^2 stands for intial velocity

v^2 stands for final velocity

since the cougar skidded to a complete stop the final velocity is zero.

u^2=v^2-2ā*s

u^2=(0)^2 -2(-2.87 m/s^2)*236 m

u^2=0+5.74m/s^2* 236m

u^2=1354.64m^2/s^2

u=√1354.64m^2/s^2

u=36.8m/s (approximate value)

when ever the acceleration is constant you can use one of the following equation to find the required value.

1. v = u + at. (no s)

2. s= 1/2(u+v)t. (no ā)

3. s=ut + 1/2at^2. ( no v)

4. v^2=u^2 + 2āS. (no t). 5. s= vt - 1/2at^2. (no u)

How to calculate the number of protons and neutrons in elements
Nuetrik [128]
The atomic number is the number of protons. So, you can subtract the atomic number from the mass number to find the number of neutrons.
I hope this helps! :)
