Humans first traveled to the Moon in a spacecraft in 1969. What happened as the spacecraft traveled farther from Earth?

horsena [70]

Answer:

The answer is C)The force of gravity from Earth acting on the spacecraft decreased because the distance from Earth increased.

Explanation:

Gravity, a force, is dependent on the mass of the object exerting the gravity and the distance of an outside object from that object. The larger the object, the more gravity it will exert on an outside object. This force decreases as you move away from the object, but it will always still exist and never be equal to 0.

When the electron in a hydrogen atom moves from n = 6 to n = 1, light with a wavelength of ________ nm is emitted?

Oduvanchick [21]

First we find the energy level with the following formula, where a is the energy level, n1 is the final energy level, n2 is the starting energy level and r is Rydberg's constant in Joules
$a = r \times ( \frac{1}{n1} - \frac{1}{n2} )$
We insert the values

$a = 2.18 \times {10}^{ - 18} \times ( \frac{1}{ {1}^{2} } - \frac{1}{ {6}^{2} } )$
$= 2.12 \times {10}^{ - 18}$
The wavelength is found with this formula, where h is Planck's constant and c is the speed of light
$wavelength = \frac{h \times c}{a}$
Finally we insert the values
$\frac{6.626 \times {10}^{ - 34} \times 3 \times {10}^{8} }{2.12 \times {10}^{ - 18} } = 9.376 \times {10}^{ - 8}$
Which is the same as 93.8 nm

What is x-rays ? and how it's formed ?

tia_tia [17]

X - rays are highly penetrating electromagnetic radiations that are formed when the cathode rays strikes a dense metal.

It has many characteristics such as :

bears no charge.

travels with the speed of light.

can ionize gases.

g a small smetal sphere, carrying a net charge is held stationarry. what is the speed are 0.4 m apart

weeeeeb [17]

Complete Question

A small metal sphere, carrying a net charge q1=−2μC, is held in a stationary position by insulating supports. A second small metal sphere, with a net charge of q2= -8μC and mass 1.50g, is projected toward q1. When the two spheres are 0.80m apart, q2 is moving toward q1 with speed 20ms−1. Assume that the two spheres can be treated as point charges. You can ignore the force of gravity.The speed of q2 when the spheres are 0.400m apart is.

Answer:

The value $v_2 = 4 \sqrt{10} \ m/s$
