<span> gravitational force varies based on 1/r^2
when you're double the distance =10,000 to 20,000, the force is 4 times smaller so on and so forth.
</span><span>As force is proportional to 1 / {distance squared}, the force will be 1 / 2^2 (i.e. 1/4) of the force at the reference distance (i.e. 1/4 * 600 = 150 lb)
</span>hope this helps
In an alpha decay, an atom emits an alpha particle. An alpha particle consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons: this means that during this kind of decay, the original atom loses 2 protons and 2 neutrons from its nucleus.
This also means that the atomic number Z of the element (the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus) decreases by 2 units in the process, while the mass number A (the mass number is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons) decreases by 4 units.
Answer: The height above the release point is 2.96 meters.
Explanation:
The acceleration of the ball is the gravitational acceleration in the y axis.
A = (0, -9.8m/s^)
For the velocity we can integrate over time and get:
V(t) = (9.20m/s*cos(69°), -9.8m/s^2*t + 9.20m/s^2*sin(69°))
for the position we can integrate it again over time, but this time we do not have any integration constant because the initial position of the ball will be (0,0)
P(t) = (9.20*cos(69°)*t, -4.9m/s^2*t^2 + 9.20m/s^2*sin(69°)*t)
now, the time at wich the horizontal displacement is 4.22 m will be:
4.22m = 9.20*cos(69°)*t
t = (4.22/ 9.20*cos(69°)) = 1.28s
Now we evaluate the y-position in this time:
h = -4.9m/s^2*(1.28s)^2 + 9.20m/s^2*sin(69°)*1.28s = 2.96m
The height above the release point is 2.96 meters.
