1). the product of the two masses being gravitationally attracted to each other
2). the distance between their centers of mass
And that's IT. The gravitational force between them depends on
only those two things, nothing else.
The elastic potential energy of a spring is given by
where k is the spring's constant and x is the displacement with respect to the relaxed position of the spring.
The work done by the spring is the negative of the potential energy difference between the final and initial condition of the spring:
In our problem, initially the spring is uncompressed, so
. Therefore, the work done by the spring when it is compressed until
is
And this value is actually negative, because the box is responsible for the spring's compression, so the work is done by the box.
Answer:
Convergent.
Explanation:
Just as oceanic crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges, it is destroyed in subduction zones. Subduction is the important geologic process in which a tectonic plate made of dense lithospheric material melts or falls below a plate made of less-dense lithosphere at a convergent plate boundary.
Answer:
2.83
Explanation:
Kepler's discovered that the square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit, that is called Kepler's third law of planet motion and can be expressed as:
(1)
with T the orbital period, M the mass of the sun, G the Cavendish constant and a the semi major axis of the elliptical orbit of the planet. By (1) we can see that orbital period is independent of the mass of the planet and depends of the semi major axis, rearranging (1):
(2)
Because in the right side of the equation (2) we have only constant quantities, that implies the ratio is constant for all the planets orbiting the same sun, so we can said that:
Answer:
Explanation:
We need to find the frequency of green light having wavelength o. It can be calculated as follows :
So, the required frequency of green light is equal to .
