What are the similarities and differences between gravitational and electric fields?

Both gravitational and electric field obey inverse square laws (e.g. F(grav)=GMm/r^2 and F(electric)=kq1q2/r^2 where GMm and kq1q2 are constants). They both act between two bodies without any means of con...

Why are fringes are formed in the Young double slit experiment?

In the Young double slit experiment, coherent light of wavelength λ from a single source illuminates a system of two slits separated from each other by a small distance a. Each slit causes the light enter...

What is the density of a rock (mass 75g) submerged in water which displaced by a volume of 37.5cm^3? SI units

75g = 0.075kg/ 37.5cm3 = (37.5 divided by 1003) m3 = 3.7510-5m3/ density = mass divided by volume/ 0.075 divided by 3.7510-5 = 20...

Explain the role of the moderator in a fission reaction.

slows neutrons/reduces KE of neutrons so that neutrons can be absorbed by the U-235 nucleus to cause fission to release kinetic energy. (nuclear reactor and energy)

A ball in a room is thrown with a speed v = 15 m/s at an angle 45 degrees above the horizontal. If the ceiling is 4 m high, will the ball hit the ceiling? If so, what is the minimum angle at which the ball will not hit the ceiling? Neglect air resistance.

Since we want to find the height reached by the ball, we only want to consider the vertical component of the ball's velocity. Using trigonometry, the y component will be:
vy= 15 * sin (45)...
