Answer:

System D --> System C --> System A --> System B

Explanation:

The gravitational force between two masses m1, m2 separated by a distance r is given by:

F=G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where G is the gravitational constant. Let's apply this formula to each case now to calculate the relative force for each system:

System A has masses m and m separated by a distance r:

F=G\frac{m \cdot m}{r^2}=G \frac{m^2}{r^2}

system B has masses m and 2m separated by a distance 2r:

F=G\frac{m \cdot 2m}{(2r)^2}=G \frac{2m^2}{4r^2}=\frac{1}{2} G \frac{m^2}{r^2}

system C has masses 2m and 3m separated by a distance 2r:

F=G\frac{2m \cdot 3m}{(2r)^2}=G \frac{6m^2}{4r^2}=\frac{3}{2} G \frac{m^2}{r^2}

system D has masses 4m and 5m separated by a distance 3r:

F=G\frac{4m \cdot 5m}{(3r)^2}=G \frac{20m^2}{9r^2}=\frac{20}{9} G \frac{m^2}{r^2}

Now, by looking at the 4 different forces, we can rank them from the greatest to the smallest force, and we find:

System D --> System C --> System A --> System B

Answer:

The magnitude of force is 1593.4N

Explanation:

The sum of the horizontal components of the friction and the normal force will be equal to the centripetal force on the car. This can be represented as

fcostheta + Nsintheta = mv^2/r

Where F = force of friction

Theta = angle of banking

N = normal force

m = mass of car

v = velocity of car

r = radius of curve

The car has no motion in the vertical direction so the sum of forces = 0

The vertical component of the normal force acts upwards whereas the weight of the car and the vertical component friction acts downwards.

Taking the upward direction to be positive,rewrite the equation above to get:

Ncos thetha = mg - fsintheta =0

Ncistheta = mg + fain theta

N = mg/cos theta + sintheta/ costheta

fcostheta +[mg/costheta + ftan theta] sin theta = mv^2/r

Substituting gives:

f = (1/(costheta + tanthetasintheta) + mgtantheta = mv^2/r - mgtantheta)

Substituting given values into the above equation

f = 1/(cos25 + tan 25 )(sin25)[ 600×30/120 - (600×9.81)tan

f = 1593.4N25

Why is it important foe scientists to know how many valence electrons a given element has
Vikentia [17]
Because the number of valence electrons of an element determines the properties and in particular the reactivity of that element.

In fact, elements of the first group (i.e. only one valence electron) have high reactivity, because they can easily give away their valence electron to atoms of other elements forming bonds. On the contrary, elements of the 8th group (noble gases) have their outermost shell completely filled with electrons, so they do not have valence electrons, and they have little or no reactivity at all.
