Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Newton's law of universal gravitation is usually stated that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses(m1 and m2) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers(r).

F = Gm1m2/r²

This is a general physical law derived from

empirical observations by what Isaac Newton called inductive reasoning.

when distance is doubled the gravitational force will be reduced by quarter not half.

Yes, that would be the case, because the gravity is pulling you towards the planet, so doubling the the distance cuts the gravitational pull between them in half.

Answer:

The radius of the gold nucleus is 7.1x10⁻¹⁵m

Explanation:

The nearest distance is:

r=\frac{kze^{2} }{mpV^{2} } (eq. 1)

Where

z = atomic number of gold = 79

e = electron charge = 1.6x10⁻¹⁹C

k = electrostatic constant = 9x10⁹Nm²C²

energy of the particle = 32 MeV = 5.12x10⁻¹²J

At the potential energy is zero, all the energy will be kinetic energy:

E_{k} =\frac{1}{2} m V^{2}

Where

m = 4 mp = mass of proton

5.12x10^{-12} =\frac{1}{2} *4*m_{p}* V^{2} \\m_{p}* V^{2} = 2.56x10^{-12}

Replacing in equation 1

r=\frac{9x10^{9}*79*(1.6x10^{-19})^{2}   }{2.56x10^{-12} } =7.1x10^{-15} m

Answer:

 Height of coffee mug = 5 cm

Explanation:

  Changing all the data given in to unit cm

              50 mm = 5 cm

              20 cm  = 20 cm

              8 m    = 800 cm

              0.1 km = 100 m = 10000 cm

Since we need to find the height of coffee mug, it's height will not be more than 10 cm.

  So 5 cm is the correct choice.
