Select one: a. varies inversely with the distance from the center of Earth. by. varies inversely with the square of the distance from the center of Earth. c. is a constant that is independent of altitude d. varies directly with the distance from the center of Earth.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

b. varies inversely with the square of the distance from the center of Earth.

Explanation:

Comparing the Newton's law of universal gravitation and second law of motion;

from Newton's second law of motion,

F = ma ............. 1

from New ton's law of universal gravitation,

F = [tex]\frac{GMm}{r^{2} }[/tex] ........... 2

Equating 1 and 2, we have;

mg =  [tex]\frac{GMm}{r^{2} }[/tex]

g = [tex]\frac{GM}{r^{2} }[/tex]

Therefore, the acceleration due to gravity near Earth, g, is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the center of Earth.

Answers

Explanation:

a) Acceleration is the slope of the velocity vs time graph.  When velocity vs time is a straight line, that means the acceleration is a constant.  F = ma, so the resultant force is also constant.

b) As air resistance increases, the acceleration begins to decrease.

c) A falling object stops accelerating when it reaches terminal velocity.

d) F = ma, so when the acceleration is 0, the resultant force is also 0.

Mr. Franklin uses a machine that has an efficiency of 80%. The machine applies a force of 800 N through a distance of 20 m. Mr. Franklin applies a force of 50 N on the machine. Through what distance does Mr. Franklin apply the force? 4 m 16 m 260 m 400 m

Answers

Answer:

The distance Mr Franklin applied the force is 400 m

Explanation:

The efficiency of the machine = 80%

The force applied by the machine = 800 N

The distance over which the force is applied by the machine = 20 m

The force applied by Mr. Franklin = 50 N

The work done by the machine = 800 × 20 = 16000 J

The ideal work at 100% efficiency = X

80% of X = 16000 J

X = 16000 N/0.8 = 20,000 J

Therefore, we have have;

Work = Force × Distance;

20,000 J = 50 N × Distance Mr Franklin applied the force

Distance Mr Franklin applied the force = 20,000 J/(50 N) = 400 m

The distance Mr Franklin applied the force = 400 m.

Color is present in the materials on which white light shines. White light contains seven colors, which are separated by the prism. White light reacts with chemicals in the air to produce seven colors.

Answers

Answer:

White light contains seven colors, which are separated by the prism.

White light reacts with chemicals in the air to produce seven colors.

Explanation:

It was first observed by Sir Issac Newton, that when white light is passed through a prism, an elongated, coloured patch of light is obtained on a screen placed behind the prism. The seven colours obtained constitute the spectrum of white light.

In nature, white light is separated into its constituent wavelengths when white light interacts with substances in the atmosphere.

An object falls from a hovering helicopter and hits the ground at a speed of 30 m/s. How long does it take the object to reach the ground and how far does it fall? Sketch a velocity-time graph for the object (ignore air resistance).

Answers

Ignoring the air resistance it will take about 3 seconds for the object to reach the ground.We know that the acceleration due to gravity is 10m/s2.

We also know that the final velocity is 30 m/s while the initial velocity is 0 m/s

we can use the formulae for acceleration to calculate the time taken/

(final - initial velocity)/timetaken=10

(30-0)/timetaken=10

timetaken =30/10=3 seconds

A diver performs a dive from a 10 m-platform. She
jumps vertically upwards at 3 m s initially.
Find the time she takes to reach the water surface​

Answers

Answer:

The time she takes to reach the water from when she jumps off the platform is 1.71 s

Explanation:

According to the equations of motion, we have;

v = u - g·t

v² = u² - 2·g·s

s₁ = u₁·t₁ + 1/2·g₁·t₁²

The given parameters are;

The height of the platform (assumption: above the water) = 10 m

The velocity with which she jumps, u = 3 m/s

The acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.81 m/s²

The height to which she jumps, s, is found as follows;

v² = u² - 2·g·s

At maximum height, v = 0, which gives;

0 = 3² - 2×9.81×s

2×9.81×s = 3² = 9

s = 9/(2×9.81) = 0.4587 m

s = 0.4587 m

The time to maximum height, t, is found as follows;

v = u - g·t

0 = 3 - 9.81×t

9.81×t = 3

t = 3/9.81 = 0.3058 s

The total distance, s₁ from maximum height to the water surface = s + 10 = 0.4587 + 10 = 10.4587 m = 10.46 m

The time to reach the water from maximum height, t₁, is found as follows;

s₁ = u₁·t₁ + 1/2·g₁·t₁²

Where;

s₁ =  The total distance from maximum height to the water surface = 10.46 m

u₁ = The initial velocity, this time from the maximum height = 0 m/s

g₁ = The acceleration due to gravity, g (positive this time as the diver is accelerating down) = 9.81 m/s²

t₁ = The time to reach the water from maximum height

Substituting the values gives;

s₁ = u₁·t₁ + 1/2·g₁·t₁²

10.46 = 0·t₁ + 1/2·9.81·t₁²

t₁²= 10.46/(1/2×9.81) = 2.13 s²

t₁ = √2.13  = 1.46 s

Total time = t₁ + t = 1.46 + 0.3058 = 1.7066 ≈ 1.71 s.

Therefore, the time she takes to reach the water from when she jumps off the platform = 1.71 s.

Determine the magnitude of the force that must be applied to a wooden block whose weight has a magnitude of 8N, so that it acquires an acceleration of 0.5 m / s²

Answers

Answer:

F = 0.408 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Weight of a wooden block, W = 8 N

Weight, W = mg

m is mass of wooden block

[tex]m=\dfrac{W}{g}\\\\m=\dfrac{8\ N}{9.8\ m/s^2}\\\\m=0.816\ kg[/tex]

Acceleration of the block, a = 0.5 m/s²

Force, F = ma

[tex]F=0.816\ kg\times 0.5\ m/s^2\\\\F=0.408\ N[/tex]

So, the magnitude of force applied to the wooden block is 0.408 N.

If you have a 200g sample of a radioactive isotope that has a half life of 50 years, hc
much will you have left at the end of 200 years?
a. 12.5 g
b. 100 g
c. 50 g
d. 25 g

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is;

a. 12.5 g

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The initial mass of the radioactive substance = 200 g

The half life of the radioactive substance = 50 years

The time duration for the disintegration = 200 years

The formula for half life is given as follows;

[tex]N(t) = N_0 \left (\dfrac{1}{2} \right )^{\dfrac{t}{t_{1/2}}[/tex]

Where:

N(t) = Quantity of the remaining substance

N₀ = Initial radioactive substance quantity  = 200 g

t = Time duration  = 200 years

 

[tex]t_{1/2}[/tex] = Half life of the radioactive substance  50 years

Therefore, we have;

[tex]N(t) =200 \times \left (\dfrac{1}{2} \right )^{\dfrac{200}{50} } =200 \times \left (\dfrac{1}{2} \right )^4 = 12.5 \ g[/tex]

Therefore, at the end of 200 years, the quantity left = 12.5 g.

Each corner of a right-angled triangle is occupied by identical point charges "A", "B", and "C" respectively. Draw a sketch of this arrangement. "A" exerts force F on "B". An equal force F is exerted by "C" on "B" (/_ ABC= 90 degrees). Determine an expression for the net force on "B".

Answers

Answer:

Fnet = F√2

Fnet = kq²/r² √2

Explanation:

A exerts a force F on B, and C exerts an equal force F on B perpendicular to that.  The net force can be found with Pythagorean theorem:

Fnet = √(F² + F²)

Fnet = F√2

The force between two charges particles is:

F = k q₁ q₂ / r²

where

k is Coulomb's constant, q₁ and q₂ are the charges, and r is the distance between the charges.

If we say the charge of each particle is q, then:

F = kq²/r²

Substituting:

Fnet = kq²/r² √2

White light is spread out into its spectral components by a diffraction grating. If the grating has 1,970 grooves per centimeter, at what angle (in degrees) does red light of wavelength 640 nm appear in first order? (Assume that the light is incident normally on the gratings.)

Answers

Answer;

7.238°

Explanation

From question we know that the grating has 1,970 grooves per centimeter, we can convert to from (cm) to (nm) for unit consistency

The slit separation is expressed below

d=1cm/1970

d=0.0005076

=5076nm

Then the angle (in degrees) that the red light of wavelength 640 nm appear in first order can be calculated using expression below

Sin(x)= mλ/d

Where λ= wavelength=640 nm

d=slit separation

Sin(x)= mλ/d

Sin(x)=(1×640)/5076

=0.126

sin-1(0.126)

X= 7.238°

Therefore,the angle (in degrees) that the red light of wavelength 640 nm appear in first order is 7.238°

The ways to measure the mass and volume of irregular object​

Answers

Answer:

When we have irregular objects, it may become very hard to calculate the volume of the object, as we actually can not use any simple equation to find it.

The mass is less tricky, just find a scale and wheight it, now we know the mass of the irregular object.

One way to measure the volume of the object is using water... how we do it?

Get some recipient with water, measure the height of the water.

Introduce your object into the water and totally submerge it, now the level of the water will rise. This is because as you introduce the object under the water, you are displacing up a given volume of water that has the same volume as the irregular object.

Now that you know the height of the water before and after you put your object, you can easily calculate the volume of water displaced, and that will be the volume of the object (the tricky part may be totally submerging the object if, for example, is wood and it floats, here you can use a thin wire to push it down but it will affect a little bit the measures.)

A glacier advances at 7.4 x 10^-6 cm/s
How far will it move in 4.2 y?
Answer in units of cm.
cm/s.

Answers

Answer:

236.8 cm

Explanation:

1 yr = 365 days = (365×24×60×60) secs

= 32 × 10^6

distace = velocity × time

= 7.4 × 10^-6 × 32 × 10^6

= 236.8 cm

The glacier will move 976.8 cm when it advances at 7.4 7.4×10⁻⁶ cm/s in 4.2 y

From the question above when we talk about how far, is still the same as distance.

Applying the equation of velocity,

V = d/t................... Equation 1

Where V = velocity, d = distance, t = time

make d the subject of equation 1

d = Vt................ Equation 2

From the question,

Given: V = 7.4×10⁻⁶ cm/s, t = 4.2 year = (4.2×3.154×10⁷) seconds = 1.32×10⁸ seconds

Substitute these values into equation 2

d = (7.4×10⁻⁶)(1.32×10⁸)

d = 9.768×10² cm

d = 976.8 cm

Hence the glacier will advances 976.8 cm
