Select the correct option. Physicist Robert H. Goddard of Clark University was the creator of the technology used by modern rockets (those that are powered by liquid fuels and not by gunpowder). In a Smithsonian Institute publication, the professor said that the rockets would serve, in addition to transporting meteorological measurement equipment beyond the Earth's atmosphere, to travel to the Moon. Due to this, on January 13, 1920, a review "A severe strain on credulity" was published in the "Topics of the Times" of the New York Times, where the possibility of the operation of the rocket outside the Earth's atmosphere is questioned since without a resisting atmosphere, the propulsion engines could not fly, thus mocking Professor Goddard's knowledge. The New York Times published 49 years later (on July 17, 1969, when the Apollo 11 astronauts headed for the Moon): "The Times regrets the mistake." That error was due to the fact that the New York Times considered that: A) would receive a…

Newton's universal law of gravitation states that every particle in the universe attracts every other particle with a force along a line joining them. The force is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Mathematically, it can be written as GMm F According to this law, when mass of both objects is doubled, the force r m becomes two times larger compared to original O becomes four times larger compared to original becomes quarter of the original O becomes half compared to original
The CERN particle accelerator is circular with a circumference of 7.0 km. (a) What is the acceleration of the protons (m = 1.67 × 10−27 kg) that move around the accelerator at 5% of the speed of light? (The speed of light is v = 3.00 × 108 m/s. ) (b) What is the force on the protons?
A cyclotron is a machine that can be used to accelerate charged particles to achieve large kinetic energies. The resulting beams of highly energetic particles then can be used for many medical applications, including Proton Therapy (a more precise form of "radiation" used in the treatment of some cancers). If a proton (of mass 1.673x10-27kg) is accelerated to its maximum velocity inside a dee with radius 4.46cm (this is the radius you would use for the "r" term in the centripetal acceleration), and if the magnetic field has a magnitude of 3.49x10-2T, what is the resulting velocity of the proton in units of km/s (kilometer per second)?
Newton's universal law of gravitation states that every particle in the universe attracts every other particle with a force along a line joining them. The force is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Mathematically, it can be written as GMm F = According to this law, when distance between two masses is reduced by half, the force becomes half compared to original O becomes two times larger compared to original becomes quarter of the original becomes four times larger compared to original
