The Earth's gravity keeps us from flying out to space. How can you explain that we have a stronger gravitational attraction to t

he Earth than to the Sun?
Question options:

The sun is bigger, but has a less mass than the Earth.


The sun has a larger mass so it has less gravitational pull.


We are closer to the sun than the Earth.


We are closer to the Earth than the sun.

It's the fourth choice.

This is because, since we are closer to the Earth, the Earth will have a stronger gravitational pull on us since again, we are closer.
That also explains tides, but that's just getting off topic. Hope I helped.

This exercise uses the radioactive decay model. After 3 days a sample of radon-222 has decayed to 58% of its original amount. (a
Vadim26 [7]

Answer: a) 3.85 days

b) 10.54 days

Explanation:-

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant  = ?

t = time taken for decomposition  = 3 days

a = let initial amount of the reactant  = 100 g

a - x = amount left after decay process  = \frac{58}{100}\times 100=58g

First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get

k=\frac{2.303}{3}\log\frac{100}{58}

k=0.18days^{-1}

a) Half-life of radon-222:

t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}

t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{0.18}=3.85days

Thus half-life of radon-222 is 3.85 days.

b) Time taken for the sample to decay to 15% of its original amount:

where,

k = rate constant  = 0.18days^{-1}

t = time taken for decomposition  = ?

a = let initial amount of the reactant  = 100 g

a - x = amount left after decay process  = \frac{15}{100}\times 100=15g

t=\frac{2.303}{0.18}\log\frac{100}{15}

t=10.54days

Thus it will take 10.54 days for the sample to decay to 15% of its original amount.

rosijanka [135]
The correct answer is (b.) does not have crankshaft. The main difference between the internal combustion engine and the diesel engine is that the diesel engine does not have a crankshaft. The crankshaft is for the conversion of the reciprocal into a circular motion.

If you want to make a strong battery, should you pair two metals with high electron affinities, low electron affinities, or a mi
inysia [295]
A battery has two electrodes, at one end it has the anode and the other end has the cathode. Electrons travel through the circuit from the anode (negative) to the cathode (positive), and this is the driving force that provides electricity to flow through circuits.
The anode needs to have a low electron affinity because it needs to readily release electrons, and the cathode needs to have a high electron affinity because it needs to readily accept electrons.
