Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Newton's law of gravity states that the force between two bodies is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The law is expressed by the formula:

F=G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2} \\\\Where\ F=force,G=gravitational\ constant, m_1\ and\ m_1=mass\ of\ objects,r\ =distance\ between \ the\ two\ objects.

The masses and distances for this question is in common units, Therefore the result would be in ratios

a) 4 MEarth / 2 MSolar / 3 AU

The force (F) = (4 * 3) / 3² = 4/3

b) 1 MEarth / 1 MSolar / 1 AU

The force (F) = (1 * 1) / 1² = 1

c) 1 MEarth / 2 MSolar / 2 AU

The force (F) = (1 * 2) / 2² = 1/2

Light of wavelength 608.0 nm is incident on a narrow slit. The diffraction pattern is viewed on a screen 88.5 cm from the slit.
Effectus [21]

Answer:

The width of the slit is 0.167 mm

Explanation:

Wavelength of light, \lambda=608\ nm=608\times 10^{-9}\ m

Distance from screen to slit, D = 88.5 cm = 0.885 m

The distance on the screen between the fifth order minimum and the central maximum is 1.61 cm, y = 1.61 cm = 0.0161 m

We need to find the width of the slit. The formula for the distance on the screen between the fifth order minimum and the central maximum is :

y=\dfrac{mD\lambda}{a}

where

a = width of the slit

a=\dfrac{mD\lambda}{y}

a=\dfrac{5\times 0.885\ m\times 608\times 10^{-9}\ m}{0.0161\ m}

a = 0.000167 m

a=1.67\times 10^{-4}\ m

a = 0.167 mm

So, the width of the slit is 0.167 mm. Hence, this is the required solution.

A total of 875 J of work was done when a force of 175 N was exerted on a box to move it. How far was the box moved
Vladimir [108]
Work = Force times Distance
W = Fd

Given W = 750J, F = 125N;

750 = 125d

Solving for d:
d = 750/125
d = 6

The box moved a distance of 6 meters.

Whats this symbol?<br> ∑
olga2289 [7]
That is the Sigma Symbol. It’s the addition of a sequence of numbers; the result is the sum of the total. if numbers are added sequentially from left to right, any intermediate result is a partial sum, prefix sum, or running total of the summation

The gravitational force between two objects is 2400 N. What will be the gravitational force between the objects if the mass of o
motikmotik

Answer:

4800N

Explanation:

Lets assume,

Mass of first object = m₁

Mass of second object = m₂

Distance between the two objects = r

Thus the force between the two objects will be

F = \frac{G\times m_{1}\times m_{2}}{r^{2}}

where, G = Universal gravitational constant

Given, F = 2400N

New mass of second object = 2m₂

Now, the force will be

F_{2} = \frac{G\times m_{1}\times 2m_{2}}{r^{2}}

F_{2}= 2\frac{G\times m_{1}\times m_{2}}{r^{2}}

F_{2}= 2F

F_{2}= 2\times2400

Thus, F₂ = 4800N
