b=(L)/(4pid^(2)) The brightness of a celestial body, like a star decrease as you move away from it. In contrast, the luminosity of a celestial body is a constant number that represents its intrinsic brightness. The inverse square law, shown above, is used to find the brightness, b, of a celestrial body when you know its luminosity, L, and the distance, d, in meters to the body. Which equation shows the distance to a celestrial body, given its brightness and luminosity?

Show that the temperature of a planet varies inversely as the square root of its distance from the sum.

Let r be the distance of a particle from a fixed point to which it is attracted by an inverse square law force given by F=k//r^2 (k=constant). Let m be the mass of the particle and L be its angular momentum with respect to the fixed point. Which of the following formulae is correct about the total energy of the system?

Coulomb's law for electrostatic force between two point charges and Newton's law for gravitational force between two stationary point masses, both have inverse square dependence on the distance between the charges // masees (a) compare the strength of these forces by determining the ratio of their maagnitudes (i) for an electron and as proton (ii) for two protons (b) estimate the accelerations for election and proton due to electrical force of their mutal attraction when they are 1 A apart.
