The forces of gravity between two objects are inversely proportional to
the square of the distance between them.  So reducing the distance
by 1/2 means increasing the gravitational force by 2² = 4 times. 
The 1 million newtons becomes 4 million newtons.

Note that this does NOT mean the satellite's altitude above the surface.
When you're calculating gravitational forces, it's the distance between
the centers of the objects.  So the question is a meaningful exercise
only if we use the distance between the satellite and the planet's center.

Light of wavelength 597 nm falls on a double slit, and the first bright fringe of the interference pattern is seen at an angle o
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

2.2 µm

Explanation:

For constructive interference, the expression is:

d\times sin\theta=m\times \lambda

Where, m = 1, 2, .....

d is the distance between the slits.

Given wavelength = 597 nm

Angle, \theta  = 15.8°

First bright fringe means , m = 1

So,

d\times sin\ 15.8^0=1\times \597\ nm

d\times 0.2723=1\times \597\ nm

d=2192.43481\ nm

Also,

1 nm = 10⁻⁹ m

1 µm = 10⁻⁶ m

So,

1 nm = 10⁻³ nm

Thus,

<u>Distance between slits ≅ 2.2 µm</u>

The local high school is installing new bleachers at the stadium and must also add handrails to meet code. The students know the
Advocard [28]

Answer:

The handrails must be approximately 10.63 meters long

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The height of the bleachers, h = 8 m

The depth of the bleachers, d = 7 m

The length of the hand rails to go along the bleachers from bottom to top is given by Pythagoras' Theorem as follows;

The length of the hand rail = √(d² + h²)

∴ The length of the hand rail = √(7² + 8²) = √113 ≈ 10.63

In order for the handrails to go along the bleachers from top to bottom, they must be approximately 10.63 meters long.

A motorcycle is moving at 18 m/s when its brakes are applied, bringing the cycle to rest in 4.7 s. To the nearest meter, how far
morpeh [17]

Answer:

the motorcycle travels 42.4 meters until it stops.

Explanation:

Vi= 18 m/s

Vf= 0 m/s

t= 4.7 sec

Vf= Vi - a*t

deceleration:

a= Vi/t

a= 18m/s  / 4.7 sec =>  a=-3.82 m/s²

x= Vi*t - (a * t²)/2

x= 42.4m
