The gravitational force between two asteroids is 100N. What would the force be if the distance between the asteroids was cut in

half?

The gravitational forces between two masses are inversely proportional to
the square of the distance between the centers of the masses.

So if the distance between the <u>centers</u> of the asteroids is multiplied by 1/2,
then the gravitational forces between them are multiplied by ...

                         1 / (1/2)²  =  (2)²  =  4 .

The new force is  (100N)  x  (4)  =  <em>400N</em>.

Reptile [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Threshold frequency = 4.17 x 10¹⁴ Hz .

minimum energy required = hν where h is plank's constant and ν is frequency .

E = 6.6 x 10⁻³⁴ x 4.17 x 10¹⁴

= 27.52 x 10⁻²⁰ J .

wavelength of radiation falling = 245 x 10⁻⁹ m

Energy of this radiation = hc / λ

c is velocity of light and  λ  is wavelength of radiation .

= 6.6 x 10⁻³⁴ x 3 x 10⁸ / 245 x 10⁻⁹

= .08081 x 10⁻¹⁷ J

= 80.81 x 10⁻²⁰ J

kinetic energy of electrons ejected = energy of falling radiation - threshold energy

= 80.81 x 10⁻²⁰  - 27.52 x 10⁻²⁰

= 53.29 x 10⁻²⁰ J .

Which illustration represent the substance at a higher temperature? Explain.
mamaluj [8]

The addition of heat energy to a system always causes the temperature of that system to increase. This is always true because you are adding heat of a substance to increase  its temperature. For example, you are going to drink a cup of coffee. And you wanted it hot to boost your attention. So you have to use hot water. In order for your water to become hot or warm, you need boil it in a kettle. Note that you are going to use an electric stove. The electric stove gets it energy from the source giving it a hotter temperature to the water in the kettle. You are applying heat energy to warm the water. So, the statement is true.
