The net force on an object is:
F = ma
The only force acting on the speck of dust as it is lays on the CD is centripetal force given by:
F = (mv²)/r
Equating the two
ma = (mv²)/r
We get:
a = v²/r
v is the linear velocity in this case; however, we can calculate only the angular velocity with the given data. Therefore, we must use:
v = ωr; where
ω = 2πf; f is the rotations per second
f = 9500 / 60
f = 950/6
ω = 2π(950/6)
ω = (950π)/3
v = (950π)/3 × 0.12
v = 38π
a = (38π)²/0.12
a = 1.2 × 10⁵ m/s²
To express this in terms of gravitational acceleration, we divide by the value of gravitational acceleration, 9.81
a = 1.2 × 10⁴ g

Which configuration is common to the outer shells of the elements neon, argon, and krypton?
Alexandra [31]
Answer: S2P6

The electronic configuraiton of given elements are as follows:

Ne =<span><span><span>[<span>He</span><span>]2</span></span><span>s2 2</span><span>p6<span>
</span></span></span>Ar = </span><span><span><span>[<span>Ne</span><span>]3</span></span><span>s2 3</span><span>p6<span>
</span></span></span>Kr = </span><span><span>[<span>Ar</span><span>]4</span></span><span>s2 3</span><span>d10 4</span>p6</span>

As it can be seen that for all three elements, their outermost orbital are completely filled, that is it has both s orbital, p orbital and d orbital fulfilled. Noble or inert gas atoms like Neon, Argon, Krypton have fulfilled valence shell. Fulfilled outermost orbital is the most stable electronic state, hence all elements tends to achieve such stability. These noble gas elements are called inert gas because of their fulfilled outermost shell. This means they don't react easily or take part in eletron donating, receiving or sharing. This is because, for all other elements except inert gas atoms, their valence shell is incomplete and they tend to react by other atoms so as to complete their outermost shell , which we call as duplet (in case of Helium like) or Octet state. Such elements either donate some electrons or receive some to acheive such stable state..

What is the gravitational force between two masses of 15kg each, when their centers are 0.25m? Could you detect this force with
Lunna [17]
Well I don't know !
Let's work it out.

The gravitational force between two objects is

                     F  =  G  ·  M₁·M₂ / R²     .

'G'    is the 'universal gravitational constant'.  We could look it up. 
'M₁'  is the mass of one object
'M₂'  is the mass of the other object 
'R'    is the distance between their centers. 

It looks complicated, but stay with me.  We can do this !
We know all the numbers, so we can calculate the force.

'G'    is  6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ newton·meter² / kg²   (I looked it up.  You're welcome.)
'M₁'  is  15 kg
'M₂'  is  15 kg 
'R'    is  0.25 meter.

Now it's time to pluggum in.

       F  =  G  ·  M₁·M₂ / R²

           = (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹  newton·meter² / kg²) · (15 kg) · (15 kg)  /  (0.25 m²)

           = (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹  ·  15  ·  15 / 0.0625)  N·m²·kg·kg / kg²·m²

           =      2.4 x 10⁻⁷  Newton  .

That a force equivalent to about  0.00000086  of an ounce.
This is the answer to part-a.

Concerning the answer to part-b ...
Personally, I could not detect this force, no matter what kind of equipment
I had. But I am just a poor schlepper engineer, educated in the last Century,
living out my days on Brainly and getting my kicks from YouTube videos. 
I am not pushing the box to the envelope, or thinking outside the cutting
edge ... whatever.
I am sure there are people ... I can't name them, because they keep a
low profile, they stay under the radar, they don't attract a lot of media
attention, their work is not as newsworthy as the Kardashians, and plus,
they seldom call me or write to me ... but I know in my bones that there
are people who have measured the speed of light to NINE significant figures,
aimed a spacecraft accurately enough to take close-up pix of Pluto ten years
later, and detected gravity waves from massive blobs that merged 13 billion
years ago, and I tell you that YES !  THESE guys could detect and measure
a force of  0.86 micro-ounce if they felt like it !

calculate minimum number of incident photons per area and of the minimum dose needed to visualize an object of 1 mm squared usin
Lynna [10]

Answer:

minimum number of photon is 4.05 × 10^{7}

Explanation:

given data

energy = 50 keV = 50 × 10^{3} eV =  50 × 10^{3} × 1.602× 10^{-19}  J

thickness = 10^-3

contrast = 1%

to find out

number of incident photons

solution

we know here equation that is

E  = n  × h  × ν   .......................1

put here all these value

50 × 10^{3} = n × 6.6× 10^{-34} × c/ 1× 10^{-3}

50 × 10^{3} × 1.602× 10^{-19}  = n × 6.6× 10^{-34} ×( 3 × 10^{8} / 1× 10^{-3})

solve it and find n

n = 4.05 × 10^{7}

so here minimum number of photon is 4.05 × 10^{7}
