Newton's Law of Gravitation states: F=GMm/r^2, where G is the gravitational constant (6.67×10−11m^3kg^−1s^−2). Kepler's Third Law, states t^2=kR^3. The mass of the sun is 1.99x10^30kg. Find the value of k and its units

F=GMm/r²=mv²/r, v=2pir/t

equating the two values for F and remembering to include the equation for v, GMm/r^2 = m(2pir/t^2)^2/r. Rearranging to find t^2, t^2 = 4pi^...

An electron of mass 9.11x10^(-31) is fired from an electron gun at 7x10^6 m/s. What size object will the electron need to interact with in order to diffract?

Momentum of electron=mv=6.377x10^^-24 kg m/s

λ=h/mv=6.63x10^-34/6.377x10^-24=1.039...x10^-10=1x10^-10m

Describe the difference between reflection and refraction (assume the mediums have smooth surfaces)

Reflection: a wave hits a surface, and bounces back into the medium it was originaly in

Refraction: a wave enters a medium with a different refractive index to the original medium it was travelling...
