Answer&Explanation:

According to the Newton gravitational law is directly proportional to the Product between masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance..

Hence from the law and corresponding question the correct answer is D:if the mass of each object is very small

Thus it would make it undetectable

Answer:

Explanation:

Newton's Law of Gravitation states that:

$F_G = \frac{-Gm_1m_2}{r^2}$

If the masses of each object is small, then $m_1*m_2$ would be very small, making the gravitational force between the two objects hard to detect - as it itself would be very small.

A piece of plastic has a net charge of +9.9 μC. How many more protons than electrons does this piece of plastic have? (e = 1.60

Leto [7]

Answer:

The number of protons 6.19 more than electron.

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge $Q=+9.9\times10^{-6}\ C$

We know that,

formula of charge

$Q = nc$

Where,

Q = total charge

n = number of protons

e = charge of electron

Put the value into the formula

$n = \dfrac{Q}{e}$

$n=\dfrac{9.9\times10^{-6}}{1.6\times10^{-19}}$

$n=6.1875\times10^{13}\ C$

According to statement of question

Divide the answer by $10^{13}$

$n=\dfrac{6.1875\times10^{13}}{10^{13}}$

$n=6.19\ C$

Hence, The number of protons 6.19 more than electron.

On a typical clear day, the atmospheric electric field points downward and has a magnitude of approximately 103 N/C. Compare the

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

a) FE = 0.764FG

b) a = 2.30 m/s^2

Explanation:

a) To compare the gravitational and electric force over the particle you calculate the following ratio:

$\frac{F_E}{F_G}=\frac{qE}{mg}$ (1)

FE: electric force

FG: gravitational force

q: charge of the particle = 1.6*10^-19 C

g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2

E: electric field = 103N/C

m: mass of the particle = 2.2*10^-15 g = 2.2*10^-18 kg

You replace the values of all parameters in the equation (1):

$\frac{F_E}{F_G}=\frac{(1.6*10^{-19}C)(103N/C)}{(2.2*10^{-18}kg)(9.8m/s^2)}\\\\\frac{F_E}{F_G}=0.764$

Then, the gravitational force is 0.764 times the electric force on the particle

The acceleration of the particle is obtained by using the second Newton law:

$F_E-F_G=ma\\\\a=\frac{qE-mg}{m}$

you replace the values of all variables:

$a=\frac{(1.6*10^{-19}C)(103N/C)-(2.2*10^{-18}kg)(9.8m/s^2)}{2.2*10^{-18}kg}\\\\a=-2.30\frac{m}{s^2}$

hence, the acceleration of the particle is 2.30m/s^2, the minus sign means that the particle moves downward.

Consider two less-than-desirable options.

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

The force would be the same in both cases - option C.

Explanation:

The change in momentum is known as an impulse. In the two cases under consideration, the change in momentum is the same, thus impulse for both cases is the same.

Impulse is the average force multiplied by time interval.

I = F(average)*ΔT. Where F(average) is the average force and ΔT is the time interval.

The average force in both cases is the same since the collision time is the same.

Thus option C is the correct answer.

Scuba divers are warned that if they must make a rapid ascent, they should exhale on the way up. If a diver rapidly ascends to t

Whitepunk [10]

Air for a diver comes out of a high pressure tank at - Same- pressure compared to the water around the diver (metered by the regulator).

This means the lungs are inflated with - Highly pressurized- gas.

This does not adversely affect the diver when deep underwater, because the entire environment around the diver is at -Same - pressure.

If the diver suddenly surface, the air in the alveoli in the lungs will still be at - a higher - pressure compared to the air around the diver, which will be at - a lower - pressure.

The gas in the diver's lungs will - expand - and can damage the alveoli.
