The gravitational force between <em>m₁</em> and <em>m₂</em> has magnitude

F_{1,2} = \dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{x^2}

while the gravitational force between <em>m₁</em> and <em>m₃</em> has magnitude

F_{1,3} = \dfrac{Gm_1m_3}{(15-x)^2}

where <em>x</em> is measured in m.

The mass <em>m₁</em> is attracted to <em>m₂</em> in one direction, and attracted to <em>m₃</em> in the opposite direction such that <em>m₁</em> in equilibrium. So by Newton's second law, we have

F_{1,2} - F_{1,3} = 0

Solve for <em>x</em> :

\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{x^2} = \dfrac{Gm_1m_3}{(15-x)^2} \\\\ \dfrac{m_2}{x^2} = \dfrac{m_3}{(15-x)^2} \\\\ \dfrac{(15-x)^2}{x^2} = \dfrac{m_3}{m_2} = \dfrac{60\,\rm kg}{40\,\rm kg} = \dfrac32 \\\\ \left(\dfrac{15-x}x\right)^2 = \dfrac32 \\\\ \left(\dfrac{15}x-1\right)^2 = \dfrac32 \\\\ \dfrac{15}x - 1 = \pm \sqrt{\dfrac32} \\\\ \dfrac{15}x = 1 \pm \sqrt{\dfrac32} \\\\ x = \dfrac{15}{1\pm\sqrt{\dfrac32}}

The solution with the negative square root is negative, so we throw it out. The other is the one we want,

x \approx 6.74\,\mathrm m

How does a change in thermal energy cause matter to change from one state to another?
Mnenie [13.5K]
Thermal energy gives the particles of the substance kinetic energy because temperature is an average measure of kinetic enegy of the particle. If we give them thermal energy the particle will move faster, gaining enough energy to escape and become free. For example, from solid to liquid, the particles would espace their fixed position and be free to move as a liquid.

What is the energy of the photon emitted when an electron in a mercury atom drops from energy level f to energy level b?
xeze [42]

The energy of the photon emitted when an electron in a mercury atom drops from energy level f to energy level b is 3.06 eV.

<h3>Change in energy level of the electron</h3>

When photons jump from a higher energy level to a lower level, they emit or radiate energy.

The change in energy level of the electrons is calculated as follows;

ΔE = Eb - Ef

ΔE = -2.68 eV - (-5.74 eV)

ΔE = 3.06 eV

Thus, the energy of the photon emitted when an electron in a mercury atom drops from energy level f to energy level b is 3.06 eV.
