Think about this hypothetical (not real) situation: Astronaut Dustin and Astronaut Barb are floating in space. The force of grav

ity between Astronaut Dustin and Planet Demi
120,265 Newtons. The force of gravity between Astronaut Barb and Planet Demi is 354,999 Newtons. What can you infer about the relative DISTANCE of each astronaut
from planet Demi? Explain your answer. ​

The distance between Dustin and the planet is larger than the distance between Barb and the planet

Explanation:

The magnitude of the gravitational force between each astronaut and the planet is given by

F=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}

where :

G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2} is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the planet

m is the mass of the astronaut

r is the separation between the astronaut and the planet

In this problem, we have:

  • The force of gravity between Dustin and the planet is 120,265 N
  • The force of gravity between Barb and the planet is 354,999 N

We see that the force exerted by the Planet on Barb is much greater than the force exerted by the planet on Dustin. Assuming that the mass of Dustin and Barb is similar, then we can say that the magnitude of the force of gravity depends mainly on the distance:

F=\frac{1}{r^2}

And since the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, this means that the distance between Dustin and the planet is larger than the distance between Barb and the planet.

Describe and explain how the movement and arrangement of the particles in a block of ice change as the ice melts to form liquid
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Ice is water in solid phase, in this phase, the particles are very close together and relatively in fixed positions.

As the temperature starts to increase (thermal energy), also does the kinetic energy of the particles (so we have a change from thermal energy to kinetic energy), so they start to move "more", and the position of the particles starts to be less "fixed". There is a point where the particles have enough energy, and this point is where the phase of the water changes from solid to liquid phase (the fusion point). After this point the water can not hold his shape, and takes the shape of the container where it is.

a DJ uses a 110-volt outlet to plug in a strobe light. if the current flowing through the light is 0.050 amps, how much resistan
tigry1 [53]

Ohms Law: V = IR

V is the voltage in volts

I is the current in amps

R is the resistance in Ohms

Rearrange: R = V/I

R = (110)/(0.050)

R = 2200

There are 2200 Ohms of resistance in the circuit.
