Answer:

Explanation:

Gravitational law states that, the force of attraction or repulsion between two masses is directly proportional to the product of the two masses and inversely proportional to the square of their distance apart.

So,

Let the masses be M1 and M2,

F ∝ M1 × M2

Let the distance apart be R

F ∝ 1 / R²

Combining the two equation

F ∝ M1•M2 / R²

G is the constant of proportional and it is called gravitational constant

F = G•M1•M2 / R²

So, to increase the gravitational force, the masses to the object must be increased and the distance apart must be reduced.

So, option c is correct

C. Both objects have large masses and are close together.

A ski lift carries people along a 220-meter cable up the side of a mountain. Riders are lifted a total of 110 meters in elevatio

jeka94

The ideal mechanical advantage (IMA) can be determined by the following equation:

IMA= Input distance/Output distance

The Input distance and Output distance are:

Input distance=220 meters

Output distance=110 meters

When you substitute in the equation of the ideal mechanical advantage (IMA), you obtain:

IMA= Input distance/Output distance

IMA= 220 meters/110 meters

IMA=2

Be sure to answer all parts. Assume the diameter of a neutral helium atom is 1.40 × 102 pm. Suppose that we could line up helium

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

The number of atoms are $1.86\times10^{8}$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter $D = 1.40\times10^{2}\ pm$

$D=1.40\times10^{2}\times10^{-12}\ m$

Distance = 2.60 cm

We calculate the number of atoms

Using formula of numbers of atoms

$Number\ of\ atoms =\dfrac{2.60\times10^{-2}}{1.40\times10^{2}\times10^{-12}}$

$Number\of\atoms =1.86\times10^{8}$

Hence, The number of atoms are $1.86\times10^{8}$ .

In one of the classic nuclear physics experiments at the beginning of the 20th century, an alpha particle was accelerated toward

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

The answer is " $1.01 \times 10^{-13}$ "

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation for energy. Equating the kinetic energy to the potential energy.

$KE=U=\frac{kqq'}{r}\\\\$

Calculating the closest distance:

$\to r=\frac{kqq'}{KE}\\\\$

$=\frac{k(2e)(79e)}{KE}\\\\=\frac{k(2)(79)e^2}{KE}\\\\=\frac{9.0\times 10^9 \ N \cdot \frac{m^2}{c}(2)(79)(1.6 \times10^{-19} \ C)^2}{(2.25\ meV) (\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-13} \ J}{1 \ MeV})}\\\\$

$=\frac{9.0\times 10^9 \times 2\times 79\times 1.6 \times10^{-19}\times 1.6 \times10^{-19} }{(2.25 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-13}) }\\\\=\frac{3,640.32\times 10^{-29}}{3.6 \times 10^{-13} }\\\\=\frac{3,640.32}{3.6} \times 10^{-16}\\\\=1011.2 \times 10^{-16}\\\\=1.01 \times 10^{-13}$

How are scientists monitoring and studying the effects on the herring?

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:In the decades prior to 1993 there was a robust Pacific herring population in Prince William Sound (PWS). Not only are these forage fish a key link in the complex food web of PWS, but they supported a lucrative early-season commercial fishery that brought the communities of the Sound to life each spring. By 1994, that fishery was closed and only briefly reopened for two years in the late 1990s. The current, approximately 10,000-ton biomass, is tiny compared to the peak value of 130,000 tons or the long-term average prior to the collapse of around 65,000 ton.
