Which of two factors influence the weight of an object due to gravitational pull?

1 answer:

5 0

The weight of an object when calculated by multiplying with the pull of the gravity is dependent on the mass of the object and the value of g. The value of g is constant however is still dependent on the distance of the object from the center of the Earth. Thus, the answers are <em>mass and distance. </em>

Goryan [66]

Answer:

d- Earth revolves around the sun.

Explanation:

Earth rotation can be defined as the amount of time taken by planet earth to complete its spinning movement on its axis.

This ultimately implies that, the rotation of earth refers to the time taken by earth to rotate once on its axis. One spinning movement of the earth on its axis takes approximately 24 hours to complete with respect to the sun.

On the other hand, earth revolution can be defined as a complete trip along a path around the sun. This path is known as an orbit and it typically takes the Earth 365¼ days to complete it's journey around the Sun.

When a constellation (stars) changes its position in the sky, at the same time of the evening and over a period of several weeks; it ultimately implies or is an evidence that Earth revolves around the sun.

If I have a picosecond laser how would that be expressed in terms of zeptoseconds? In terms of petaseconds?

kolbaska11 [484]

Picosecond = 10 ^ -12 seconds.
Zeptosecond = 10^ -18 seconsds
Petaseonds = 10^15 seconds

To express Picoseconds into any of other two, you have to divide 10^-12 by the power index of the one in question

1Picosecond : 10^-12 / 10^-18 = 10^ (-12- 18) = 10^ (-12+18)= 10^6 zeptoseconds

1Picosecond : 10^-12 / 10^15 = 10^ (-12-15) = 10^-27 Petaseconds.

1Picosecond = 10^6 zeptoseconds

1Picosecond = 10^-27 Petaseconds

What are (a) the energy of a photon corresponding to wavelength 6.0 nm, (b) the kinetic energy of an electron with de Broglie wa

dlinn [17]

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength = 6.0 nm

de Broglie wavelength = 6.0 nm

(a). We need to calculate the energy of photon

Using formula of energy

$E = \dfrac{hc}{\lambda}$

$E=\dfrac{6.63\times10^{-34}\times3\times10^{8}}{6.0\times10^{-9}}$

$E=3.315\times10^{-17}\ J$

(b). We need to calculate the kinetic energy of an electron

Using formula of kinetic energy

$\lambda=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2mE}}$

$E=\dfrac{h^2}{2m\lambda^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$E=\dfrac{(6.63\times10^{-34})^2}{2\times9.1\times10^{-31}\times(6.0\times10^{-9})^2}$

$E=6.709\times10^{-21}\ J$

(c). We need to calculate the energy of photon

Using formula of energy

$E = \dfrac{hc}{\lambda}$

$E=\dfrac{6.63\times10^{-34}\times3\times10^{8}}{6.0\times10^{-15}}$

$E=3.315\times10^{-11}\ J$

(d). We need to calculate the kinetic energy of an electron

Using formula of kinetic energy

$\lambda=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2mE}}$

$E=\dfrac{h^2}{2m\lambda^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$E=\dfrac{(6.63\times10^{-34})^2}{2\times9.1\times10^{-31}\times(6.0\times10^{-15})^2}$

$E=6.709\times10^{-9}\ J$

Hence, This is the required solution.

Why is there an upward force on objects in water?

Paraphin [41]

If you'r referring to some objects, it means that the mass of the object is less than the water so it floats. If the mass of an object is greater than the mass of the water, it will sink. Compare it to a balloon, helium makes it rise, while normal air makes it sink.
