The force of gravity between two objects is stronger when the objects have more mass and stronger when they are closer together. Specifically,

F = G * m1 * m2 / ( r^2 )

where F is the force, m1 and m2 are the masses, and r^2 is the distance between them squared. G is a universal constant that only depends on the system of units you use.

An electron and a proton are situated in a uniform electric field.what is the ratio of their acceleration?

The charges on proton and electron are equal in magnitude. hence, the electric force F(=eE) on them will be equal in magnitude.Acceleration of electron,ae=F/me=eE/meAcceleration of proton,ap=F/mp=eE/1836meTherefore,ae/ap=1836


How is chocked nozzle thrust calculated?

Choked nozzle thrust can be calculated using the equation: F = mdot * ve + (pe - pa) * Ae, where F is the thrust, mdot is the mass flow rate, ve is the exhaust velocity, pe is the exit pressure, pa is the ambient pressure, and Ae is the exit area. This equation takes into account the momentum change of the exhaust gas and the pressure difference between the exit and ambient pressures.


What is the value of a 50 caliber bullet?

It depends. A box of 10 .50 BMG cartridges are something like $25 or $30. .50 AE is much cheaper. There are also other types of 50 caliber ammo and bullets.


What made Albert Einstein succeed as a scientist?

Two initials: EGO and IQ. AE had a very big ego. So when his colleagues made fun of him for some of his thought experiments, he set out to prove them wrong. And he was able to do that because his IQ was rated at around 160; he had the smarts to think out of the box.


Why vector quantities are not divisible?

I'll assume you are referring to the inverse of the most common process of vector multiplication, namely the formation of an inner product, also called a scalar product or dot product, between two vectors of the same size. In this operation, vectors with, for example, components (a,b,c,d) and (e,f,g,h) must be pairwise multiplied and summed, to arrive at the scalar result ae + bf + cg + dh. Any two ordinary vectors of matching size (number of components) can be "multiplied" to get an inner product. (There is another kind of multiplication of two 3-vectors called the cross-product, which is sometimes invertible, but because the cross-product only works with two vectors in 3-space, it does not seem useful to discuss the cross-product further in the context of general vector division. Similarly, one could individually multiply the components of the two vectors to get a sort of third vector. Although that operation would be invertible under some conditions, I am not aware of any meaning, or physical significance, for the use of that technique. Since the result of taking the inner product of two vectors is a scalar, that is, a single real number, most of the information about the two vectors is lost during the computation. The only information retained by the inner product is the magnitude of the projection of one vector A onto the direction of another vector B, multiplied by the magnitude of B. But division is the inverse operation of multiplication. In a sense, division undoes the work of a previous multiplication. Since all information about the direction of each vector is discarded during the calculation of an inner product, there is not enough information remaining to uniquely invert this operation and bring back, say, vector A, knowing vector B and the value of the scalar product.
