Two massive objects are fixed in position. A third object is placed directly between the first two at the position at which the

total gravitational force on the third object due to the two massive objects is zero. The object is displaced slightly toward one of the two massive objects, the total gravitational force on the third object is now

Answer:

Explanation:

Be M1 and M2 the two massive objects and m the third one

The gravitational force over the third object at the beginning is zero (assuming that the position of the third object is x=0)

F_{m}=-G\frac{mM_{1}}{x_{1}^{2}}-G\frac{mM_{2}}{x_{2}^{2}}=0

when the third object is displaced we have that the new position is x=Δx. Hence

F_{m}=-G\frac{mM_{1}}{(-x_{1}+\Delta x)^{2}}-G\frac{mM_{2}}{(x_{2}-\Delta x)^{2}}

I attached a scheme of the system

I hope this is useful for you

The specific heat of substance A is greater than that of substance B. Both A and B are at the same initial temperature when equa
Sonja [21]

Answer:

m_A c_{pA} (T_{fA} -T) = m_B c_{pB} (T_{fB}- T)

For this case, if we try to find the final temperature of A and B, we see that we will obtain an expression in terms of specific heats and masses, from the information given we know the relationship between specific heats, but we don't know the relationship that exists among the masses, then the best option for this case is:

d) More information is needed

(The relation between the masses is not given)

Explanation:

For this case we know the following info:

c_{pA} > c_{pB}

Where c means specific heat for the substance A and B.

We also know that the initial temperatures for both sustances are equal:

T_{iA}= T_{iB}

We assume that we don't have melting or vaporization in the 2 substances. So we just have presence of sensible heat given by this formula:

Q = m c_p \Delta T

And for this case we know that Both A and B are at the same initial temperature when equal amounts of energy are added to them, so then we have this:

Q_A = Q_B

And if we replace the formula for sensible heat we got:

m_A c_{pA} \Delta T_A = m_B c_{pB} \Delta T_B

And if we replace for the change of the temperature we got:

m_A c_{pA} (T_{fA} -T_{iA}) = m_B c_{pB} (T_{fB}- T_{iB})

And since T_{iA}= T_{iB}= T we have this:

m_A c_{pA} (T_{fA} -T) = m_B c_{pB} (T_{fB}- T)

For this case, if we try to find the final temperature of A and B, we see that we will obtain an expression in terms of specific heats and masses, from the information given we know the relationship between specific heats, but we don't know the relationship that exists among the masses, then the best option for this case is:

d) More information is needed

(The relation between the masses is not given)

A diffraction pattern forms when light passes through a single slit. The wavelength of the light is 691 nm. Determine the angle
expeople1 [14]

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of the light, \lambda=691\ nm=691\times 10^{-9}\ m

(a) Slit width, a=3.8\times 10^{-4}\ m

The angle that locates the first dark fringe is given by :

sin\theta=\dfrac{\lambda}{a}

sin\theta=\dfrac{691\times 10^{-9}}{3.8\times 10^{-4}}

\theta=0.104^{\circ}

(b) Slit width, a=3.8\times 10^{-6}\ m

The angle that locates the first dark fringe is given by :

sin\theta=\dfrac{\lambda}{a}

sin\theta=\dfrac{691\times 10^{-9}}{3.8\times 10^{-6}}

\theta=10.47^{\circ}

Hence, this is the required solution.

A wave is traveling through a medium. As it travels, it displaces particles of matter in the same direction as the wave is trave
Alexxandr [17]

<u>Answer</u>

longitudinal wave because the particles move parallel to the direction that the wave is traveling.


<u>Explanation</u>

There are 2 types of a wave, electromagnetic and mechanical wave. These waves can also be categorized into two, longitudinal ans transverse waves.

longitudinal wave is a wave whose particles vibration is in the direction of wave travel.

Transverse wave is a wave whose vibration of particles is perpendicular to the direction of wave travel.

cluponka [151]

Answer:

D) -Q

Explanation:

The charge inserted will induce -Q charge on the inner surface and + Q on the outer surface of the shell . This charge is called bound charge because it remained attached with opposite charge inserted inside.
