What do we mean by gravitational time dilation?

Physics
1 answer:
Katena32 [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The dilation of time is a phenomenon that results from the theory of relativity proposed on 1905 by Einstein.

This theory, states (under the condition of the invariance of the speed of light in vacuum) the measurement on a body is made with reference to the system in which it is being measured and that time passes at different rates in regions of different gravitational potential.  

That is:

<h2>The greater the local distortion of space-time due to gravity, the slower the time passes.  </h2>

If you could see the electric field coming off a proton you would notice that electric field lines are what?
Readme [11.4K]
The electric field generated by a proton is a radial field, so we would see the field lines going radially from the proton toward every direction. I've attached a picture representing the electric field generated by a positive charge, such as a proton, and we can see the field lines going radially from the charge toward every direction.

If the atomic mass of Sodium-18 is 18.02597 u, what is the binding energy?
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

<h3>The binding energy of sodium Na=<em>5.407791×10⁹J</em></h3>

Explanation:

<h3>Greetings !</h3>

Binding energy, amount of energy required to separate a particle from a system of particles or to disperse all the particles of the system. Binding energy is especially applicable to subatomic particles in atomic nuclei, to electrons bound to nuclei in atoms, and to atoms and ions bound together in crystals.

<h2>Formula : Eb=(Δm)c²</h2><h3>where:Eb= binding energy</h3><h3> .Δm= mass defect(kg)</h3><h3> c= speed of light 3.00×10⁸ms¯¹</h3><h2 /><h3><u>Given</u><u> </u><u>values</u></h3>
  • m= 18.02597
  • c=3.00×10⁸ms¯¹

<h3><u>required </u><u>value</u></h3>
  • Eb=?

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>
  • Eb=(Δm)c²
  • Eb=(18.02597)*(3.00*10⁸ms¯¹
  • Eb=5.407791*10⁹J
