The weight of an object on a planet depends not only on its mass, but also on its distance from the planets center. Uranus has m

ore than 14 times as much mass as earth, yet the gravitational force is less. Explain how this could be. Pleas answer cause idk what it means.

The further an object is from the centre of a planet, the lower it's gravitational force. Uranus had 14 times as much mass as earth, but it's also a lot bigger than earth. So assuming an object is on the surface of Uranus, it would be really far away from the centre of Uranus, therefore the gravitational force is less.

Hope this helps!

Weight w=m*g
where m is the mass and g the gravitational acceleration.
Uranus has much more mass than Earth though it has less gravitational force than Earth.

3. What is the difference between an emission spectrum and an absorption spectrum? What is the Bohr model of the atom, and how d
pishuonlain [190]
The Bohr model resembles a planetary system in which the negatively-charged electrons orbit a small and very dense, positively-charged nucleus at the atom's center.
The electrons are held in orbit by the Coulomb (electrical) force between the positively-charged nucleus and the negatively-charged electrons.

The electrons cannot occupy just any orbital radius.
Only orbits with a very specific set of energy values are permitted (which all atoms of a given element have in common and are unique to that element).
The lowest energy (or ground state) corresponds to orbit closest to the nucleus and photons with specific amounts of electromagnetic radiation are absorbed or emitted when an electron moves from one orbit to another (absorbed to move further up the permitted levels and away from the nucleus)


An atomic line spectrum is the whole range of specific photon radiation frequencies that an element can emit or absorb as it's electrons move between the energy levels allowed in those atoms.

The emissions correspond with electrons descending 'down' their energy levels, with the energy differences being carried away by photons with the appropriate frequency. Consequently an emission spectra is a series of specific, single color lines (against a black background) for each of the emitted frequencies.

Photon absorption provides the energy for electrons to 'climb' the set of energy levels for that element. So, putting electrons into higher energy states within an atom.
When the absorbed photons are removed from incident light containing the full spectrum, their absence is seen as a series of fine black lines on an otherwise continuous spectrum background.

<span> The features in absorption and emission spectra coincide exactly for atoms of a given element. </span>

taurus [48]
A small, rocky particle that moves through space and strikes a planet or moon is referred to as a meteorite. A meteorite is a substantial part of the wreckage from a root such as an asteroid including comet, It is described as a meteoroid before its collision. Meteorite's intensity can change from petite to remarkably big.

True or false: the coefficient of thermal expansion governs the way a substance expands or contracts when it is heated or cooled
Kruka [31]
It is true because <span>Thermal expansion is the tendency of matter to change in shape, area, and volume in response to a change in temperature, through heat transfer. Temperature is a monotonic function of the average molecular kinetic energy of a substance. When a substance is heated, the kinetic energy of its molecules increases. Thus, the molecules begin moving more and usually maintain a greater average separation.</span>
