Question: Why do both the moon and the earth pull on the spaceship the entire time? Why must you be closer to the moon before th

e pull of the earth and moon are equal?

-- There's no limit to the distance of gravitational forces. 
There's gravitational force between Pluto and the lint in your
pocket ... not much, but it's there, and it can be calculated.

So there's ALWAYS gravitational force between the Earth and the
spaceship, AND ALSO between the Moon and the spaceship. 
Even before it's ever launched !

-- The Earth has about 80 times as much mass as the Moon has,
so you have to be much closer to the Moon before the gravitational
forces in each direction are equal.

Red shift is one piece of observational evidence which supports the big bang theory. The fact that galaxies are moving away from us means that the universe was once much smaller, supporting the big bang theory which states that all the matter in the universe once occupied a single point with infinite density.

Which of the following statements about the conservation of momentum is not correct? Momentum is conserved for a system of objec
Olin [163]

Answer:

wrong statement :  Momentum is not conserved for a system of objects in a head-on collision.

Explanation:

In a head on collision of two objects , two equal and opposite forces are created at the point of collision . These two forces create two impulses in opposite direction which results in equal and opposite changes in momentum in each of them . Hence net change in momentum is zero. In this way momentum is conserved in head on collision of two objects.

An x-ray beam of wavelength 1.4×10−10m makes an angle of 20° with a set of planes in a crystal(the Bragg angle)causing first ord
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Second order line appears at 43.33° Bragg angle.

Explanation:

When there is a scattering of x- rays from the crystal lattice and interference occurs, this is known as Bragg's law.

The Bragg's diffraction equation is :

n\lambda=2d\sin\theta      .....(1)

Here n is order of constructive interference, λ is wavelength of x-ray beam, d is the inter spacing distance of lattice and θ is the Bragg's angle or scattering angle.

Given :

Wavelength, λ = 1.4 x 10⁻¹⁰ m

Bragg's angle, θ = 20°

Order of constructive interference, n =1

Substitute these value in equation (1).

1\times1.4\times10^{-10} =2d\sin20

d = 2.04 x 10⁻¹⁰ m

For second order constructive interference, let the Bragg's angle be θ₁.

Substitute 2 for n, 2.04 x 10⁻¹⁰ m for d and 1.4 x 10⁻¹⁰ m for λ in equation (1).

2\times1.4\times10^{-10} =2\times2.04\times10^{-10} \sin\theta_{1}

\sin\theta_{1} =0.68

<em>θ₁ </em>= 43.33°

car is moving at 40 m/s. At 10 meters the driver spots a deer on the road and instantly steps on the brakes. If the car is 400 k
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

32000 N

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 40 m/s

Distance (s) = 10 m

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

Mass (m) of car = 400 Kg

Force (F) =?

Next, we shall determine the acceleration of the the car. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 40 m/s

Distance (s) = 10 m

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

Acceleration (a) =?

v² = u² + 2as

0² = 40² + (2 × a × 10)

0 = 1600 + 20a

Collect like terms

0 – 1600 = 20a

–1600 = 20a

Divide both side by –1600

a = –1600 / 20

a = –80 m/s²

The negative sign indicate that the car is decelerating i.e coming to rest.

Finally, we shall determine the force needed to stop the car. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) of car = 400 Kg

Acceleration (a) = –80 m/s²

Force (F) =?

F = ma

F = 400 × –80

F = – 32000 N

NOTE: The negative sign indicate that the force is in opposite direction to the motion of the car.
