One of the asteroids, Ida, looks like an elongated potato. Surprisingly it has a tiny (compared to Ida) spherical moon! This moo

n called Dactyl has a mass of 4.20 × 10^16 kg, and a radius of 1.57 × 10^4 meters, according to Wikipedia. Ida has a radius of 3.14 x 10^4 meters.
Find the acceleration of gravity on the surface of this little moon.

Answer:

g = 0.0114 m/s²

Explanation:

The value of acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the moon can be given by the following formula:

g = \frac{Gm}{r^2}

where,

g = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of moon = ?

G = Universal Gravitational Constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²

m = mass of moon = 4.2 x 10¹⁶ kg

r = radius of moon = 1.57 x 10⁴ m

Therefore,

g= \frac{(6.67\ x\ 10^{-11}\ N.m^2/kg^2)(4.2\ x\ 10^{16}\ kg)}{(1.57\ x\ 10^4\ m)^2}

<u>g = 0.0114 m/s²</u>

Which elements will bond ionically with barium such that the formula would be written as BaX2? A) Nitrogen, chlorine, and sodium
erma4kov [3.2K]

The answer would be:

B. Chlorine, iodine and Fluorine

Barium has 2 valence electrons. To satisfy the BaX₂ , this would mean that Barium will need to give one of each of its electrons. The elements that need 1 electron would be those that have 7 valence electrons to complete the octet. These elements would fall in group 7 or halogens. Chlorine, iodine and fluorine are all in Group 7, so this would be the best choice.

Consider an oil droplet of mass m and charge q. We want to determine the charge on the droplet in a Millikan-type experiment. We
Katen [24]

Answer:

q=\frac{mg}{E_o}              

Explanation:

Given:

Charge = <em>q</em>

Electric field strength =E_o

weight of the droplet = <em>mg</em>

The charge is suspended motionless. This is because the electric force on the charge is balanced by the weight of the droplet.

electric force on charged droplet, F=qE_o

This is balanced by the weight, mg

Equating the two:

qE_o=mg\\\Rightarrow q=\frac{mg}{E_o}
