A)The mass of planet B is one-fourth the mass of planet A.
B)The mass of planet B is twice the mass of planet A.
C)The mass of planet B is equal to the mass of planet A.
D)The mass of planet B is four times the mass of planet A.
E)The mass of planet B is one-half the mass of planet A.

Answer: D) The mass of planet B is four times the mass of planet A.

Explanation:

If the surface gravity is the same, this means that the attractive force exerted by both planets upon any body  on  the surface ,is the same.

This means that FgA and FgB are equal each other, so, applying the Universal Law of Gravitation to both planets, we can write:

FgA = G mMa / ra² = FgB = GmMb/rb²

Equating both sides, and simplyfing common terms, we have:

Ma/ra² = Mb/(2ra)²

Solving for Mb:

Mb = Ma . (4ra)² / ra² = 4 Ma

The figure in Figure 1 shows two single-slit diffraction patterns. The distance between the slit and the viewing screen is the s
V125BC [204]

Answer:

"The wavelengths are the same for both. The width of slit 1 is larger than the width of slit 2."

Explanation:

The full question has not been provided, so I just copied this into the web and found this answer and explanation on quizlet:

"The wavelengths are the same for both. The width of slit 1 is larger than the width of slit 2.

D sin θ = m λ

if the wavelengths are the same, then if the angle is smaller, the slit width must be larger. The top photo shows a pattern that is more closely spaced. That means the angle is smaller. The slit width must be larger."

This answer/explanation should be correct, as we are looking at bright fringes and the formula being used corresponds to the parameters of the question.

Hope this helps!

A convex lens has a focal length of 0.33 m. The object distance is 0.7 m. What is the image distance?
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

1/v - 1/u = 1/f

given, f = 0.3 m, u = -0.4m

so, 1/v - 1/-0.4 = 1/0.3

or, 1/v = 1/0.3 - 1/0.4 = 1/1.2

v = 1.2 m

now, differentiating 1/v - 1/u = 1/f with respect to t,

-1/v² dv/dt + 1/u² du/dt = 0

or, dv/dt = (v/u)² du/dt

putting, du/dt = 0.01 m/s , v = 1.2 m and u = -0.4 m

so, dv/dt = (1.2/-0.4)² × 0.01

= 0.09 m/s

hence, speed of image with respect to lens is 0.09 m/s .

from formula of magnification

magnification, m = v/u

differentiating with respect to time both sides,

dm/dt = (u dv/dt - vdu/dt)/u²

= (-0.4 × 0.09 - 1.2 × 0.01)/(-0.4)²

= (-0.036 - 0.012)/0.16

= -0.048/0.16

= -0.3 m/s

hence, magnitude of rate of change of lateral magnification is 0.3 m/s
