Star Butterfly is correct
1. Disagree on local scale. Gravity is weaker than electrostatic, unless your masses are huge. It is sort of an unanswerable question though.
2. Disagree. G M1M2/ r^2 / k Q1Q2/r^2
3. yes, 1/r^2 / 1/r^2 = 1
4. well, remember problem 1 ? [7*10^-11*(81^10^-62)] /[9*10^9*(2.6*10^-38)]
is about 2.4*10^-43
5. now you do one
1. A: electromagnetism, weak nuclear, gravitational, strong nuclear. Fun fact: If I had to rate these forces on a scale of 1 to 10, gravity would get a negative potato, while electromagnetism would get a happy dancing banana.
2. C: FG/FE = Kq1q2/Gm1m2. This equation represents the ratio of gravitational force to electrostatic force. Don't worry, I won't let them electrocute you with this question.
3. D: The ratio remains constant. Just like a magician's tricks, changing the distance between the particles won't affect the ratio of the forces.
4. C: 3.093 x 10^22. In the world of tiny particles, the forces can have some really mind-boggling ratios. And here I am struggling with the ratio of popcorn to butter on my movie nights.
5. B: 4.413 x 10^18 C. These particles must be really loving each other with that specific ratio. It's like two peas in a (very small) pod.
To answer the questions correctly, let's go through each one step by step:
1. Which list presents the four fundamental forces in order of relative strength from weakest to strongest?
To determine the order of relative strength of the fundamental forces, you need to be familiar with them. The four fundamental forces are electromagnetism, weak nuclear force, gravitational force, and strong nuclear force. Gravitational force is the weakest, followed by weak nuclear force, electromagnetism, and strong nuclear force. So the correct answer is option B: gravitational, weak nuclear, electromagnetism, strong nuclear.
2. Which equation shows the correct ratio of the gravitational force to the electrostatic force?
The correct equation to find the ratio of the gravitational force to the electrostatic force is:
FG/FE = Gm1m2 / Kq1q2, where FG represents the gravitational force, FE represents the electrostatic force, G is the gravitational constant, K is the electrostatic constant, m1 and m2 are the masses, and q1 and q2 are the charges. Therefore, the correct answer is option B: FG/FE = Gm1m2/Kq1q2.
3. What happens to the ratio of the gravitational force to the electrostatic force between two charged particles after the distance between them is doubled?
To determine the effect of doubling the distance between two charged particles on the ratio of the gravitational force to the electrostatic force, you need to understand their relationship. The gravitational force decreases with the square of the distance, while the electrostatic force decreases with the square of the distance as well. Since both forces decrease by the same factor (squared value) when the distance is doubled, the ratio between them remains constant. Therefore, the correct answer is option D: the ratio remains constant.
4. What is the ratio of the gravitational force to the electrostatic force between two electrons?
To calculate the ratio of the gravitational force to the electrostatic force between two electrons, you need to apply the appropriate formulas and constants. The gravitational force between two objects can be calculated using the equation F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2, where G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects, and r is the distance between them. The electrostatic force between two charged particles can be calculated using the equation F = k * (q1 * q2) / r^2, where k is the electrostatic constant, q1 and q2 are the charges of the particles, and r is the distance between them. By substituting the values of the electron mass, charge, and constants into the formulas, you can obtain the correct ratio. The correct answer is option C: 3.093 × 10^22.
5. What is the charge on each particle if the ratio of the gravitational force to the electrostatic force is 1.619 × 10^−36?
To determine the charge on each particle when the ratio of the gravitational force to the electrostatic force is known, you can rearrange the formula for the electrostatic force. The equation is F = k * (q1 * q2) / r^2. By rearranging the equation to solve for q1, you get:
q1 = sqrt((F * r^2) / (k * q2)). Substituting the given values and constants into the equation, you can calculate the charge on each particle. The correct answer is option B: 4.413 × 10^18 C.
