Answer:

The VSEPR theory and how it predicts the shapes of molecules:

Explanation:

The Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) theory is a model used in chemistry to predict the shapes of individual molecules by the number of electron pairs that they have in the center of the atom. This theory is also based on the notion that the electrons around the atom repel one another. The Valence electrons on the outermost layer of the molecule are the most important in defining the geometry as they are the first to interact with other atoms and will be involved in bonding.

In order to go in a circle at a constant speed an object needs
maxonik [38]

Answer:

So for an object moving in a circle, there must be an inward force acting upon it in order to cause its inward acceleration. This is sometimes referred to as the centripetal force requirement. The word centripetal (not to be confused with the F-word centrifugal) means center seeking.

One peice of evidence that the universe is expanding
AnnyKZ [126]
Who Figured This Out? The American astronomer Edwin Hubble made the observations in 1925 and was the first to prove that the universe is expanding. He proved that there is a direct relationship between the speeds of distant galaxies and their distances from Earth. This is now known as Hubble's Law.

An interference pattern is produced by light with a wavelength 550 nm from a distant source incident on two identical parallel s
ad-work [718]

Answer:

a

 \theta  =  0.0022 rad

b

 I  =  0.000304 I_o

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

   The  wavelength of the light is \lambda  = 550 \ nm  =  550 *10^{-9} \ m

    The  distance of the slit separation is  d = 0.500 \ mm = 5.0 *10^{-4} \ m

 

Generally the condition for two slit interference  is  

     dsin \theta =  m \lambda

Where m is the order which is given from the question as  m = 2

=>    \theta  =  sin ^{-1} [\frac{m \lambda}{d} ]

 substituting values  

      \theta  =  0.0022 rad

Now on the second question  

   The distance of separation of the slit is  

       d =  0.300 \ mm  =  3.0 *10^{-4} \ m

The  intensity at the  the angular position in part "a" is mathematically evaluated as

      I  =  I_o  [\frac{sin \beta}{\beta} ]^2

Where  \beta is mathematically evaluated as

       \beta  =  \frac{\pi *  d  *  sin(\theta )}{\lambda }

  substituting values

     \beta  =  \frac{3.142  *  3*10^{-4}  *  sin(0.0022 )}{550 *10^{-9} }

    \beta  = 0.06581

So the intensity is  

    I  =  I_o  [\frac{sin (0.06581)}{0.06581} ]^2

   I  =  0.000304 I_o

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

Increasing the mass and decreasing the distance between the two objects.

Explanation:

An increase in mass will cause them to have a stronger pull or gravity. A decrease of distance will make it easier for the objects to fall into each other because they would be further into the other objects area of influence.
