Answer: It would increase.

Explanation:

The equation for determining the force of the gravitational pull between any two objects is:

$F = G \frac{m1m2}{r^2}$

Where G is the universal gravitational constant, m1 is the mass of one body, m2 is the mass of the other body, and r^2 is the distance between the two objects' centers squared.

Assuming the Earth's mass but not its diameter increased, in the equation above m1 (the term usually indicative of the object of larger mass) would increase, while the r^2 would not.

Thus, it goes without saying that, with some simple reasoning about fractions, an increasing numerator over a constant denominator would result in a larger number to multiply by G, thus also meaning a larger gravitational strength between Earth and whatever other object is of interest.

The speed of sound in air changes with the temperature. When the temperature T is 32 degrees Fahrenheit, the speed S of sound is

dezoksy [38]

Answer and Explanation:

A. We have temperature t = 32

Speed of sound, s = 1087.5

As t increases by 1⁰f speed increases by 1.2

So that

S = 1088.6

T= 33⁰f

We have 2 equations

1087.5 = k(32) + c

1088.6 = k(33) + c

Subtracting both equations

(33-32)k = 1088.6-1087.5

K = 1.1

b.). S = kT + c

1087.5 = 32(1.1) + c

Such that

C = 1052.3

Therefore

S = 1.1(t) + 1052.3

C.). S = 1.1t + 1052.3

We make t subject of the formula

T = s/1.1 - 1052.3/1.1

T = 0.90(s) - 956.3

D. This means that We have temperature to rise by 0.90 whenever speed is increased

If you find an igneous rock which has 450 radioactive isotopes and 3,150 stable daughter isotopes, how many half-lifes of this i

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

$3t_{1/2}$

Explanation:

To find the half-lifes of the isotope we need to use the following equation:

$N_{t} = N_{0}2^{-\frac{t}{t_{1/2}}}$ (1)

where Nt: is the amount of the isotope that has not yet decayed after a time t, N₀: is the initial amount of the isotope, t: is the time and $t_{1/2}$ : is the half-lifes.

By solving equation (1) for t we have:

$\frac{t}{t_{1/2}} = - \frac{Ln(Nt/N_{0})}{Ln(2)}$

Having that:

Nt = 450

N₀ = 3150 + 450 = 3600,

The half-lifes of the isotope is:

$t = - \frac{Ln(450/3600)}{Ln(2)} \cdot t_{1/2} = 3t_{1/2}$

Therefore, 3 half-lives of the isotope passed since the rock was formed.

I hope it helps you!

The speed v of a sound wave traveling in a medium that has bulk modulus b and mass density ρ (mass divided by the volume) is v=b

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

As it is given that Bulk modulus and density related to velocity of sound

$v = \sqrt{\frac{B}{\rho}}$

by rearranging the equation we can say

$B = \rho * v^2$

now we need to find the SI unit of Bulk modulus here

we can find it by plug in the units of density and speed here

$B = \frac{kg}{m^3} * (\frac{m}{s})^2$

so SI unit will be

$B = \frac{kg}{m* s^2}$

SO above is the SI unit of bulk Modulus
