Answer:
Explanation:
The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is given by the equation:
where
G is the gravitational constant
m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects
r is the separation between the objects
The gravitational force is always attractive.
In this problem, we have:
is the mass of the Earth
is the mass of the Moon
is the separation between the Earth and the Moon
Therefore, the gravitational force between them is
Answer:
C ) 1.53
Explanation:
The critical angle of a material is given by the formula
where
c is the critical angle
n is the refractive index
This formula is valid if the second medium is air (which is the case of the problem).
In this problem, we know the critical angle:
Therefore we can rearrange the equation to find the refractive index:
Answer:
GE = ME - , which agrees with option C in your list.
Explanation:
The definition of Mechanical Energy (ME) of a system is the addition of the gravitational potential energy (GE) plus the kinetic energy (KE) of the system:
ME = GE + KE
Given that the KE is: ,
solving for GE in the formula above gives:
GE = ME - KE = ME - , which agrees with option C
