Two objects that may be considered point masses are initially separated by a distance d. The separation distance is then decreas

ed to d/3. How does the gravitational force between these two objects change as a result of the decrease?A. The force will not change since it is only dependent on the masses of the objects.B. The force will be nine times larger than the initial value.C. The force will be three times larger than the initial value.D. The force will be one third of the initial value.E. The force will be one ninth of the initial value. If an object at the surface of the Earth has a weight W, what would be the weight of the object if it was transported to the surface of a planet that is one-sixth the mass of Earth and has a radius one third that of Earth?A. 3WB. 4W/3C.

Answer:

a) B. The force will be nine times larger than the initial value.

b) D. 3W/2

Explanation:

a) If we can take both masses as point masses, the attractive force between them, is given by Newton's Universal Law of gravitation:

Fg = G*m₁*m₂ / r₁₂² (1)

where r₁₂ is the distance between the center of the masses.

If we reduce the distance in such a way that r₁₂f = r₁₂₀/3, replacing in (1), we get:

Fgf = G*m₁*m₂  / (r₁₂₀/3)² = 9* (G*m₁*m₂/ r₁₂₀²) = 9* Fg₀

The result is reasonable, as the gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between masses, which is consequence of our 3-D space.

b) We call weight, to the force that earth exerts on any mass on the planet, based on the application of Newton's 2nd Law to the gravitational force between Earth and the mass, as follows:

Fg = G*m*me / re² = m*a

⇒ a = ge = G*me/re² (2)

If we apply the same considerations to the same mass on the surface of a planet with a mass equal to one-sixth the mass of Earth, and a radius one third that of Earth, we can apply the same equation as above:

Fgp = G*m*(me/6) / (re/3)² = m*ap

⇒ap = gp = (G*me/re²)*(9/6) = 3/2* ge

As the mass is the same, we conclude that the gravitational force exerted by the unknown planet on the mass (which we call weight) is 3/2 times the one experimented on Earth's  surface.

So, the right answer is D. 3/2W.

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

165.529454

Explanation:

According to the Pythagorean Theorem for calculating the lengths of a right angle triangle's sides, a^2 + b+2 = c^2, where c is the longest side (and the side opposing the right angle). So in your case it would be 150*150 + 70*70 = 27400. And √ 27400 is your answer.

In the Zeeman effect, the energy levels of hydrogen are split by a magnetic field. Each state with a different value of mlml has
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

the Zeeman effect without spin is three lines

Explanation:

The Zeeman effect is the result of the interaction of the magnetic field with the orbital angular momentum of the electrons, if we do not take the spin into account it is called the Normal Zeeman effect.

Therefore we only take into account the orbital moments (m_l) of the transition, from the selection rules of the refreshed harmonics, only the transition with

             \Delta m_l = 0, ± 1

            ΔE \DeltaE = \mu_B \ \Delta  m_l \ B

Let's analyze for the case of the Hydrogen atom

For a transition between levels n = 1 and n = 2 the values ​​of m_l are n_f = 1 m_l = 0 and for n₀ = 2  m_l = 0, 1

so we only have two lines.

For transition n_f = 2 and n₀ = 3

n_f = 2    m_l = 0, 1

n₀ = 3      m_l = -1, 0, 1

There are only two lines plus the central line, so there are three spectral lines

for n_f = 3 and n_o = 4

n_f = 3   ml = -1, 0, 1

n₀= 4      ml = -2, -1, 0, 1, 2

Only transitions with  Δm_l = ±1 are allowed, so there are only two transitions plus the central transition (Δm_l = 0), so there are only 3 spectral lines.

In summary, due to the selection rule of spherical harmonics, the greatest number of lines in the Zeeman effect without spin is three lines.

Find the x-component of this
valentina_108 [34]

The x-component of this vector inclined from the horizontal axis is  15m.

<h3>What is vector?</h3>

A vector is the representation of a physical quantity in magnitude and direction.

A vector incline at an angle in has two components. On in x direction and other is in y direction.

For the given length of vector = 45.6 m and the angle of inclination from the +x axis θ = 70.8°

The x component of the given vector is

= 45.6cos 70.8°

= 14.99 m

Thus, the x- component of this vector is 15m.
