Force of gravity = 'G' (mass₁)(mass₂) / (distance)²

'G' is the gravitational constant for SI units =  6.67 x10⁻¹¹ newton-meter²/kg²

You said that the force is          <u>2.99 x 10⁻¹⁰</u> = (6.67x10⁻¹¹) (4) (7) / D²

Multiply each side by D² :    2.99 x 10⁻¹⁰ D²  =  (6.67x10⁻¹¹) (28)

Divide each side by  2.99 x 10⁻¹⁰  :          D² = (28) (6.67 x10⁻¹¹) / (2.99 x 10⁻¹⁰)

Take the square root of each side:      D = square root of all that

Stuff it through my calculator:

                               D = square root of  [  (28) (6.67 x10⁻¹¹) / (2.99 x 10⁻¹⁰)  ] =

                                  √ ( 6.2462...) meters²  = 

                                        <em>2.5 meters </em> (rounded)

===================

To get the feel:

-- The book weighs about    8.8  pounds  (big book)
-- The lamp weighs about  15.4  pounds
-- They're about 8.2 feet apart.
-- The strength of the gravitational force
           between them is about                  0.000 000 001 075 of an ounce .

If the frequency of the motion of a simple harmonic oscillator is doubled, by what factor does the maximum speed of the oscillat
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

If the frequency of the motion of a simple harmonic oscillator is doubled , then maximum speed of the oscillator changes by the factor 2

Explanation:

We know that in a simple harmonic oscillator the maximum speed is given by

    v_{max} = Aw

  Here A is amplitude which is constant , so from above equation we see that maximum speed is directly proportional to w\\ of the oscillation .

  Since  w = 2 \pi f

      v_{max}^{|}/v_{max} = 2f/f = 2

  Where v_{max}^{|} is the maximum speed when frequency is doubled .

1. Which statement about subatomic particles is not true?
igomit [66]

1. Protons and neutrons have the same charge.

Protons have positive charge, equal to e=+1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C, while neutrons have zero charge.

2. mass number

The mass number of an atom is equal to the sum of protons and neutrons inside its nucleus.

3. Atoms are made up of smaller particles.

According to Dalton's theory, atoms are the smallest particles that make matter, and they are indivisible and indestructible, so they are NOT made up of smaller particles.

4. a solid sphere

In Dalton's theory, atoms are not made of smaller particles, so we can think them as solid spheres.

5. J. J. Thomson

In his experiment with cathode ray tubes, JJ Thomson demonstrated the existance of the electrons, which are negatively charged particles inside the atom. In his model of the atom (plum-pudding model), Thomson thought the atom consists of a uniform positive charge and the electrons are located inside this positive charge.

6. An electron has the same amount of energy in all orbitals.

In fact, each orbital corresponds to a different energy level: the farther the orbital from the nucleus, the higher the energy of the electrons contained in that orbital.

7. A hydrogen atom in heavy water has an extra neutron.

Heavy water is a type of water that contains deuterium, which is an isotope of the hydrogen consisting of one proton and one neutron (so, one extra neutron).

8. The glowing beam was always deflected by charged plates

In his cathode's ray tube experiment, Thomson shows that the beam of unknown particles (= the electrons) were deflected by charge plates, so the particles had to be also electrically charged.

9. electrons move to a lower energy level

When electrons move from a higher energy level to a lower energy, they emit a photon (light) of energy equal to the difference in energy between the two energy levels.

10. orbital

In quantum mechanics, electrons in the atom are not precisely located, since we cannot determine their exact position and velocity at the same time. Therefore, we can only describe regions of space where the electrons have a certain probability to be found, and these regions of space are called orbitals.

11. 14

According to Dalton's theory, the proportions of the reactants must be respected in order to form the same compound. Therefore, we can write:

2 g: 4 g = X : 28 g\\X=\frac{2 g \cdot 28 g}{4 g}=14 g

12. negative charge, found outside the nucleus

Electrons are particles with negative charge of magnitude e=-1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C that orbit around the nucleus. The nucleus, instead, consists of protons (positively charged, with charge opposite to the electron) and neutrons (neutrally charged).

13. move from higher to lower energy levels

When electrons move from a higher energy level to a lower energy inside a neon atom, they emit a photon (which is light) whose energy is equal to the difference in energy between the two energy levels.

14. atomic number from its mass number

In fact:

- the atomic number of an atom (Z) is equal to the number of protons inside the nucleus

- the mass number of an atom (A) is equal to the sum of protons+neutrons inside the nucleus

Therefore, we can find the number of neutrons in the nucleus by calculating the difference between A and Z:

Number of neutrons = A - Z

15. None of them

None of these examples is a good analogy to describe the location of an electron in an atomic orbital: in fact, the position of an electron in an orbital cannot be precisely described, we can only describe the probability to find the electron in a certain position, and none of these example is an analogy of this model.
