Answer:

hydrogen

Explanation:

pH is a measure of the ion concentration of hydrogen in a solution.

In chemistry, it literally means power of hydrogen ions and it is a measure of the molar concentration of hydrogen ions in a particular solution, thus specifying the acidity, neutrality or basicity of chemical solutions.

Mathematically, the pH of a solution is given by $pH = -log 10[H^{+}]$

Hence, a solution with a pH of 7 is neutral.

Also, a solution with a pH below 7 is acidic but basic if it's pH is above 7.

What happens to the magnitude of the gravitational force as the distance between two bodies increase?

Anna [14]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force will decrease

Explanation:

The gravitational force is one of the four fundamental forces of nature. It is an attractive force exerted between every object having mass.

Its magnitude is given by the equation:

$F=\frac{Gm_1 m_2}{r^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

m1 is the mass of the first object

m2 is the mass of the second object

r is the separation between the objects

As we see from the equation, the magnitude of the gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects:

$F\propto \frac{1}{r^2}$

Therefore, this means that as the distance between two bodies increases, the gravitational force will decrease.

(a)

Marta_Voda [28]

a) The momentum of the coconut is 3 kg m/s

b) At first, the air resistance is negligible, so the coconut accelerates due to the force of gravity

c) The coconut reaches its terminal velocity

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is given by the equation

$p=mv$

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its velocity

For the coconut in this problem, we have:

m = 1.5 kg (mass)

v = 2 m/s (velocity)

Therefore, its momentum is

$p=(1.5)(2)=3 kg m/s$

There are only two forces acting on the coconut during its fall:

The force of gravity, of magnitude $mg$ (m= mass of the coconut, g = acceleration of gravity), acting downward
The air resistance, acting upward, whose magnitude is proportional to the speed of the coconut

During the first momentums of the fall, the speed of the coconut is still low, so the air resistance is mostly negligible, and therefore only the force of gravity is acting on the coconut. Since this force is constant, it means that the acceleration of the coconut is constant: therefore, its velocity keeps increasing during the fall, and the coconut speeds up.

If the tree is very tall, the fall of the coconut lasts long, and the speed of the coconut keeps increasing. Since the air resistance is proportional to the speed, this means that at some point, the air resistance is no longer negligible, and it starts to have some effect on the fall of the coconut. In particular, at a certain point, the air resistance will become equal (in magnitude) to the force of gravity (but opposite in direction): this means that from this point, the acceleration of the coconut will be zero, and therefore the coconut will continue its motion at constant velocity. This velocity is called terminal velocity, and it occurs when the force of gravity is equal to the air resistance:

$mg = F_r$
