Earth is about 93 million miles from the Sun but only 239,000 miles from the Moon. Likewise, the Sun has a mass that is over 20 million times that of the Moon. Earth experiences a strong gravitational attraction to both of these bodies, but for two different reasons. Using what you know about the factors that influence gravity, what specific characteristic or characteristics contribute to the attraction between Earth and the Moon? What specific characteristic or characteristics contribute to the attraction between Earth and the Sun?

Ablock of mass m = 2.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring constant k = 710 n/m. it is initially at rest on an inclined plane that is at an angle of θ = 23° with respect to the horizontal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is μk = 0.19. in the initial position, where the spring is compressed by a distance of d = 0.16 m, the mass is at its lowest position and the spring is compressed the maximum amount. take the initial gravitational energy of the block as zero. a) what is the block's initial mechanical energy? b) if the spring pushes the block up the incline, what distance, l, in meters will the block travel before coming to rest? the spring remains attached to both the block and the fixed wall throughout its motion.

Because air contracts as it cools, the air pressure inside a freezer is typically lower than on the outside. why do ice cubes inside a freezer tend to shrink over time? a. the ice dissolves oxygen from the air, forming a denser crystalline matrix.b. the ice reacts chemically with carbon dioxide in the air, forming gaseous carbon compounds.c. the ice melts, and then the liquid freezes as ice crystals on the bottom of the freezer.d. the ice sublimes, and then the water vapor deposits as ice crystals on the sides of the freezer.

Consider a hydrogen atom in the ground state. what is the energy of its electron? =e= jj now consider an excited‑state hydrogen atom. what is the energy of the electron in the =5n=5 level? =e5= j
