Gravitational force acts on all objects in proportion to their masses. Why, then, doesn’t a heavy object fall faster than a ligh

Its becuase weight and mass are different. Even if an object weighs more than another object it might not have more mass than the other object.

In the Bohr model of hydrogen, the electron moves in a circular orbit around the nucleus. (a) Determine the orbital frequency of
Airida [17]

Answer:

(a) 6.567 * 10^15 rev/s or hertz

(b) 8.21 * 10^14 rev/s or hertz

Explanation:

Fn= 4π^2k^2e^4m * z^2/(h^3*n^3)

Where Fn is frequency at all levels of n.

Z = 1 (nucleus)

e = 1.6 * 10^-19c

m = 9.1 * 10^-31 kg

h = 6.62 * 10-34

K = 9 * 10^9 Nm2/c2

(a) for groundstate n = 1

Fn = 4 * π^2 * (9*10^9)^2*(1.6*10^-19)^4* (9.1 * 10^-31) * 1 / (6.62 * 10^-31)^3 = 6.567 * 10^15 rev/s

(b) first excited state

n = 1

We multiple the groundstate answer by 1/n^3

6.567 * 10^15 rev/s/ 2^3

F2 = 8.2 * 10^ 14 rev/s

Please answer this question for me and explain why.
horsena [70]

Answer:

D.None of these

Explanation:

The derivation of acceleration formula:

Let us call the 5kg mass m_2 and the 4kg mass m_1. If the tension in the string is T then for the mass m_2

(1). T-m_2g=-m_2a <em>(the negative sign on the right side indicates that acceleration is downwards)</em>

And for the mass m_1

(2). T-m_1g =m_1a<em> (the acceleration is upwards, hence the positive sign)</em>

Solving for T in the 2nd equation we get:

T =m_1a+m_1g,

and putting this into the 1st equation we get:

m_1a+m_1g-m_2g=-m_2a\\\\m_1a+m_2a = m_2g-m_1g\\\\a(m_1+m_2)= (m_2-m_1)g

\boxed{a= \dfrac{(m_2-m_1)}{(m_1+m_2)} g}

Back to the question:

Using the formula for the acceleration we find

a= \dfrac{(5kg-4kg)}{(5kg+4kg)} g

a = \dfrac{g}{9},

which is the acceleration that none of the given choices offer. Also, the acceleration of the two blocks is the same, because if it weren't, the difference in the instantaneous velocities of the objects would cause the string to break. Therefore, these two reasons make us decide that none of the choices are correct.

PLEASE HEELP!!!
Ann [662]

Answer:

The "pressure" of the electricity is electric potential. Electric potential is the amount of energy available to push each unit of charge through an electric circuit. The unit of electric potential is the volt. ... A volt is the force needed to move one amp through a conductor that has 1 ohm of resistance
