On the Moon the acceleration due to gravity is about one sixth that on Earth. If a golfer on the Moon imparted the same initial

velocity to the ball as she does on the Earth, how much farther would the ball go?

6 0

Explanation:

We know that that the range of the ball on the earth

R_{earth}=\frac{v_o^2sin2\theta}{g_{earth}}

therefore, range of the ball on moon

R_{moon}=\frac{v_o^2sin2\theta}{g_{moon}}

R_{moon}=\frac{v_o^2sin2\theta}{g_{earth}/12}

therefore,

R_{moon}=6R_{earth}

Therefore, the range of ball will be 6 times on the moon than that on earth

Consider a small frictionless puck perched at the top of a xed sphere of radius R. If the puck is given a tiny nudge so that it
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the vertical height by which it descends be h . Let it acquire velocity of v .

1/2 mv² = mgh

v² = 2gh

As it leaves the surface of sphere , reaction force of surface  R = 0 , so

centripetal force = mg cosθ where θ is the angular displacement from the vertex .  

mv² / r = mg cosθ

(m/r )x 2gh = mg cosθ

2h / r = cosθ

cosθ = (r-h) / r

2h / r =  r-h / r

2h = r-h

3h = r

h = r / 3

Which does not describe the relationship between the nucleus and the electron cloud of an atom?
Margaret [11]
Choices 'a', 'c', and 'd' are true.

In choice 'b', I'm not sure what it means when it says that masses
are 'balanced'.  To me, masses are only balanced when they're on
a see-saw, or on opposite ends of a rope that goes over a pulley.

Maybe the statement means that the mass of the nucleus and the
mass of the electron cloud are equal.  This is way false.  It takes
more than 1,800 electrons to make the mass of ONE proton or
neutron, and the most complex atom in nature only has 92 electrons
in it.  So there's no way that the masses of the nucleus and the electrons
in one atom could ever be anywhere near equal.

The ratio of the speed of light in a medium to the speed of light in a vacuum
Liula [17]

Answer:D.Refractive Indez

Explanation:

It is usually expressed the other way: the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in a medium. In that case, it is called the "index of refraction".

If an electron is accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 1.60 x 102V, what is its de Broglie wavelength
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

0.09 x10^-10m

Explanation:

Using wavelength=( 12.27 A)/√V

= 12.27 x 10^-10/ √1.6x10^2

= 0.09x10^-10m
