Gravitational force is given by, $F= G\frac{mM}{R^{2}}$

Where, m and M are the masses of the objects, R is the distance between them and G gravitational constant.

Gravitational force of the star on planet 1, $F_{1}= G\frac{m_{1}M}{R^{2}}$

Gravitational force of the star on planet 2, $F_{2}= G\frac{3m_{1}M}{(3R)^{2}}$

Ratio, $\frac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}= \frac{\frac{Gm_{1}M}{R^{2}}}{\frac{G3m_{1}M}{(3R)^{2}}}$

$\frac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}= \frac{3}{1}$

Therefore, the gravitational force of the star on the planet 1 is three times that on planet 2.

The ratio of gravitational forces F₂ : F₁ = 1 : 3

$\texttt{ }$

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Newton's gravitational law states that the force of attraction between two objects can be formulated as follows:

$\large {\boxed {F = G \frac{m_1 ~ m_2}{R^2}} }$

<em>F = Gravitational Force ( Newton )</em>

<em>G = Gravitational Constant ( 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm² / kg² )</em>

<em>m = Object's Mass ( kg )</em>

<em>R = Distance Between Objects ( m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem !

$\texttt{ }$

<u>Given:</u>

Gravitational force on planet 1 = F₁

Gravitational force on planet 2 = F₂

mass of planet 1 = m₁

mass of planet 2 = m₂ = 3m₁

distance between planet 1 and star = R₁

distance between planet 2 and star = R₂ = 3R₁

<u>Asked:</u>

ratio of force = F₂ : F₁ = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

$F_2 : F_1 = G \frac{ M m_2} { (R_2)^2 } : G \frac{ M m_1} { (R_1)^2 }$

$F_2 : F_1 = \frac{m_2} { (R_2)^2 } : \frac{ m_1} { (R_1)^2 }$

$F_2 : F_1 = \frac{3m_1} { (3R_1)^2 } : \frac{ m_1} { (R_1)^2 }$

$F_2 : F_1 = \frac{3} { 9 } : 1$

$F_2 : F_1 = \frac{1} { 3 } : 1$

$\boxed{F_2 : F_1 = 1 : 3}$

Harrison wanted to find out what soil works best for growing roses. He grew them in potting soil, clay, sand, and soil he found

zepelin [54]

Answer:

This question is asking to identify the following variables:

Independent variable (IV): TYPE OF SOIL

Dependent variable (DV): HEIGHT AND NUMBER OF LEAVES

Control group: None in this experiment

Constant: SAME ROSE PLANT, SAME TIME INTERVAL (1 WEEK)

Explanation:

Independent variable in an experiment is the variable that is manipulated or changed by the experimenter in order to effect a measurable outcome. In this case, the independent variable is the TYPE OF SOIL used.

Dependent variable is the measurable variable that responds to changes made to the independent variable. In this experiment, the dependent variable is the HEIGHT AND NUMBER OF LEAVES of each rose.

Constants or control variable is the variable that is kept unchanged or constant for all groups throughout the experiment. In this experiment, the constants are SAME ROSE PLANT, SAME TIME INTERVAL (1 WEEK).

Control group are the groups that does not receive the experimental treatment. In this case, all the groups received the experimental treatment (different soil types). Hence, there is no control

What is E of a hydrogen atom in the 3p state?

notsponge [240]

Answer:

E=-1.51 eV.

$L=\hbar\sqrt{2}$

Explanation:

The nth level energy of a hydrogen atom is defined by the formula,

$E_{n}=-\frac{13.6}{n^{2} }$

Given in the question, the hydrogen atom is in the 3p state.

Then energy of n=3 state is,

$E_{n}=-\frac{13.6}{(3)^{2} }\\E_{n}=-1.51eV$

Therefore, energy of the hydrogen atom in the 3p state is -1.51 eV.

Now, the value of L can be calculated as,

$L=\hbar\sqrt{l(l+1)}$

For 3p state, l=1

$L=\hbar\sqrt{1(1+1)}\\L=\hbar\sqrt{2}$

Therefore, the value of L of a hydrogen atom in 3p state is $L=\hbar\sqrt{2}$ .

A 200kg ball on the end of string is swung in horizontal circle with radius of 0.5m . The ball makes revolution every 2second th

ANEK [815]

Answer: $\dfrac{\pi}{2} ms^{-1}$

Explanation:

Let $T$ be the time required to make one revolution.

Let $r$ be the radius of the circular path.

Let $d$ be the distance travelled by ball in one revolution.

As we know,the distance travelled in one revolution is the circumference of the circle.

So, $d=2\pi r$

Given, $d=0.5m\\T=2sec$

$d=2\times \pi \times 0.5=\pi m$

Speed of an object moving is circular path is define as the ratio of distance travelled in one revolution to the time taken by the object to complete one revolution.

Let $s$ be the speed of the ball.

$s=\frac{d}{T}=\frac{\pi }{2}ms^{-1}$

So,the speed of the ball is $\frac{\pi }{2}ms^{-1}$

A moving particle encounters an external electric field that decreases its kinetic energy from 9520 eV to 7060 eV as the particl

Sati [7]

Given Information:

KEa = 9520 eV

KEb = 7060 eV

Electric potential = Va = -55 V

Electric potential = Vb = +27 V

Required Information:

Charge of the particle = q = ?

Answer:

Charge of the particle = +4.8x10⁻¹⁸ C

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of energy, we have

ΔKE = -qΔV

KEb - KEa = -q(Vb - Va)

-q = KEb - KEa/Vb - Va

-q = 7060 - 9520/27 - (-55)

-q = 7060 - 9520/27 + 55

-q = -2460/82

minus sign cancels out

q = 2460/82

Convert eV into Joules by multiplying it with 1.60x10⁻¹⁹

q = 2460(1.60x10⁻¹⁹)/82

q = +4.8x10⁻¹⁸ C
