Answer: The statement first and the fourth statement are true.

Explanation:

According to Newton's gravitational law, every particle in the universe attracts every other particle with the force of attraction between the masses is directly proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

As we move to higher altitude, the force of gravity on use decreases because the force of gravity is inversely proportional to the distance.

If the masses of the two objects are more then there will be greater force of gravity between them.

Therefore, the statement first and the fourth statement are true.

A beam of monochromatic light (f =5.09 ×1014 Hz) has a wavelength of 589 nanometers in air. What is the wavelength of this light
frosja888 [35]
Lucite has a refractive index of n=1.50. This means that the speed of the light in lucite is decreased according to:
v=\frac{c}{n}
where c=3 \cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light in air. Putting the number in the formula, we find that the speed of light in lucite is
v=\frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{1.50}=2\cdot 10^8 m/s
The frequency of the light is f=5.09 \cdot 10^{14}Hz, so now we can calculate the wavelength in lucite by using the formula:
\lambda=\frac{v}{f}=\frac{2\cdot 10^8 m/s}{5.09 \cdot 10^{14} Hz}=3.93 \cdot 10^{-7} m=393 nm
<span>Therefore, the correct answer is (2) 393 nm.</span>

A 1500 kg car is pushing a 4000 kg truck. The car and truck are accelerating at 2.0 m/s^2. Assuming that the frictional force on
Crazy boy [7]

To solve this problem we will use the Force equation according to the definition given in Newton's second law. There we have that the Force is equal to

F =ma

Where,

m = mass

a = acceleration

Our values are given as

m_1 = 1500 kg

m_2 = 4000 kg

a = 2.0 m/s^2

Considering that both mass are equal to one, we have that:

F = (m_1+m_2)* a

F = (1500 + 4000)(2.0)

F = 11000 N = 11kN

Therefore the truck exert a force on the car of 11kN

The index of refraction for silicate flint glass is 1.66 for violet light that has a wavelength in air equal to 400 nm and 1.61
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

(a) Angle of incidence for violet is more than the angle of incidence for red

(b) 2.4°

Explanation:

refractive index for violet , v = 1.66

refractive index for red, nR = 1.61

wavelength for violet, λv = 400 nm

wavelength for red, λR = 700 nm

Angle of refraction, r = 30°

(a) Let iv be the angle of incidence for violet.

Use Snell,s law

nv = Sin iv / Sin r

1.66 = Sin iv / Sin 30

Sin iv = 0.83

iv = 56°

Use Snell's law for red

nR  = Sin iR / Sin r  

where, iR be the angle of incidence for red

1.61 = Sin iR / Sin 30

Sin iR = 0.805

iR = 53.6°

So, the angle of incidence for violet is more than red.

(b) iv - iR = 56° - 53.6° = 2.4°

The charged particles in the beams that Thomson studied came from atoms. As these particles moved away from their original atoms
aalyn [17]

The question to the above information is;

What is the best use of an atomic model to explain the charge of the particles in Thomson's beams?

Answer;

An atom's smaller negative particles are at a distance from the central positive particles, so the negative particles are easier to remove.

Explanation;

-Atoms are comprised of a nucleus consisting of protons (red) and neutrons (blue). The number of orbiting electrons is the same as the number of protons and is termed the "atomic number" of the element.

J.J. Thomson discovered the electron. Atoms are neutral overall, therefore in Thomson’s ‘plum pudding model’:

  • atoms are spheres of positive charge
  • electrons are dotted around inside
