Answer:

free-fall acceleration = 12.25 m/s²

Explanation:

Formula for free fall acceleration is given by the gravity equation;

g = Gm/r²

Where;

M is mass of the Earth

r is radius of the Earth

G is the gravitational constant

Now, that equation applies to the earth.

For this new planet, we are told that the mass = 5 × mass of earth

And radius = 2 × radius of earth.

Thus, free fall acceleration for this planet is;

g_p = G(5m)/(2r)²

g_p = (5/4)(Gm/r²)

Gravitational constant has a value of 6.674 × 10^(−11) N.m²/kg²

Mass of the earth = 5.972 × 10^(24) kg

Radius of the earth = 6378 km = 6378000

Thus;

g_p = (5/4)(6.674 × 10^(−11) × 5.972 × 10^(24))/(6378000²) = 12.25 m/s²

A proton, an electron, and a helium nucleus all move at speed v. Rank their de Broglie wavelengths from largest to smallest. Wri
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

The correct option is 'c':electron,proton,helium nucleus

Explanation:

The De-Broglie's wavelength of particle is given by

\lambda =\frac{h}{mv}

Thus we can see that wavelength is inversely related to mass of the particle since 'h' (Plank's constant) and velocity is same for all the particles  

Thus we conclude that the the lightest particle will have the most wavelength

Electron being the lightest of the 3 particles will have the largest wavelength thus the correct option is 'c'. Since electron has the largest wavelength followed by proton and the least wavelength among the 3 is of helium.

The unit of current, the ampere, is defined in terms of the force between currents. Two 1.0-meter-long sections of very long wir
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

1.6 x 10^{-7} N

Explanation:

If the force between two actual wires has this value, the current is defined to be exactly 1 A.

The force between two parallel wires carrying current can be defined as,

F=  μI_{1} I_{2} L/ 2πd

where,

current I_{1} = 1Amp

current I_{2} = 2amp

Length 'L'= 1m

distance 'd'= 2.5m

permeability of free space 'μ'= 4πx10^{-7} N/m

Putting the above values in the equation,

F=( 4πx10^{-7} x 1 x 2 x 1 )/ 2πx2.5

F= 1.6 x 10^{-7} N
