Answer:

The gravitational force b) Increases with increase in mass.

Explanation:

The gravitational force between two objects is given by

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}F=Gr2m1m2

where

G is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between the objects

From the equation, we notice that:

- The force is proportional to the masses, m1 and m2: so, if the masses increase, the force will increase, and if the masses decrease, the force will decrease

- The force is inversely proportional to the distance between the masses, r: so, if the distance increases, the force will decreases, and if the distance decreases , the force will increases

Therefore, the correct options is only:

Increases with increase in mass

What is the period of a soundwave whose wavelength is 20.0 m? Use values from the book and show ALL of your work.

Liono4ka [1.6K]

<h3>Answer;</h3>

Period = 1/17 seconds

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

Wavelength is related to period by the expression:

speed = wavelength / period 

If we are given the speed, then we can easily calculate the period at the wavelength of 20 m.

Given the speed of sound wave as 340 m/s

Period = Wavelength/ speed

= 20 m/340 m/s

= 1/17 seconds

A 0.3-kg object connected to a light spring with a force constant of 19.3 N/m oscillates on a frictionless horizontal surface. A

Ghella [55]

The total work W done by the spring on the object as it pushes the object from 6 cm from equilibrium to 1.9 cm from equilibrium is

W = 1/2 (19.3 N/m) ((0.060 m)² - (0.019 m)²) ≈ 0.031 J

That is,

• the spring would perform 1/2 (19.3 N/m) (0.060 m)² ≈ 0.035 J by pushing the object from the 6 cm position to the equilibrium point

• the spring would perform 1/2 (19.3 N/m) (0.019 m)² ≈ 0.0035 J by pushing the object from the 1.9 cm position to equilbrium

so the work done in pushing the object from the 6 cm position to the 1.9 cm position is the difference between these.

By the work-energy theorem,

W = ∆K = K

where K is the kinetic energy of the object at the 1.9 cm position. Initial kinetic energy is zero because the object starts at rest. So

W = 1/2 mv ²

where m is the mass of the object and v is the speed you want to find. Solving for v, you get

v = √(2W/m) ≈ 0.46 m/s

Imagine you can take all the atoms in a single drop of water and put them on a single line as closely packed as they can be. How

tester [92]

Answer:

option a

Explanation:

Size of an atom (diameter) = 10⁻¹⁰ m

There are approximately 10²² atoms in a single drop of water. If they are put in a straight line, the length would be

l = diameter of an atom × number of atoms

l = 10²²× 10⁻¹⁰ m = 10¹² m

Distance between the Sun and the Earth is 1.47 × 10¹¹ m. The calculated length is greater than the distance between the Sun and the Earth.

Thus, option a is correct.
