Diamond is the material in which light ray entering from air slows down more.
Ksivusya [100]3 years ago

<span>Diamond slowdown light more than Quartz , because diamonds have a greater index of refraction. Light will bend when its move from one medium to another. The Index of Refraction of Material is found by comparing the speed of light in their respective mediums.</span>

The gravitational force between two objects has a magnitude of F. If both masses were doubled and the distance between them doub
Fofino [41]

Answer:

F' = F

Explanation:

The gravitational force of attraction between two objects can be given by Newton's Gravitational Law as follows:

F = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

where,

F = Force of attraction

G = Universal gravitational costant

m₁ = mass of first object

m₂ = mass of second object

r = distance between objects

Now, if the masses and the distance between them is doubled:

F' = \frac{G(2m_1)(2m_2)}{(2r)^2}\\\\F' = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

<u>F' = F</u>

When a star goes from the main sequence to the red giant phase, it becomes larger rather than smaller. This is true because grav

I believe this is electron degeneracy, because the star is essentially having too many reactions too fast and collapses in on itself eventually.

g The potential energy of a pair of hydrogen atoms separated by a large distance x is given by U(x)=−C6/x6, where C6 is a positi
Arisa [49]

Answer:

F_x = -\frac{6 C_6}{2^7}

Attractive

Explanation:

Data provided in the question

The potential energy of a pair of hydrogen atoms given by \frac{C_6}{X_6}

Based on the given information, the force that one atom exerts on the other is

Potential energy μ = \frac{C_6}{X_6}

Force exerted by one atom upon another

F_x = \frac{\partial U}{\partial X} = \frac{\partial}{\partial X}  (-\frac{C_6}{X^6})

or

F_x = \frac{\partial}{\partial X}  (\frac{C_6}{X^6})

or

F_x = -\frac{6 C_6}{2^7}

As we can see that the C_6 comes in positive and constant which represents that the force is negative that means the force is attractive in nature

Newton’s laws do not apply to small objects?
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Yes Newton's laws apply to small objects

EX: Newton s first law

when body at rest always want to be at rest

or body at motion always want to be at motion

unles an external force acts upon it

for example a eraser on the table will be at rest

if so e apply some force then it comes motion

so, Newton s law apply to small object s

Gwen is researching the effects of a small asteroid impact in an area that has started to regrow after being hit ten years ago.
Bumek [7]

Answer:

Gwen’s assumption of asteroid hit as long term change is incorrect. Asteroid hit is not a long term change, instead, it is a short term change.  

Explanation:

Examples of short term changes are drought, flood, volcanic eruption, etc. A short term change occurs quickly and can immediately affect organisms but it doesn’t become a reason for species extinction. The effects of a short term change don’t prevail over a long span of time.

Examples of long term changes are ice age, global warming, deforestation, etc. Unlike a short term change, it takes time but the consequences are far-reaching. It can lead to species extinction.

In this question, asteroid hit is a quick and unexpected hazard, unlike the slow long term environmental changes.
