Answer:

The angle of the Sun's rays:

At about June 21 the sun is directly overhead at about 23 deg north of the equator

On about Dec 21 the sun is directly overhead at about 23 deg south of the equator

It is this tilt 23 deg to the ecliptic (path of earth about sun) that causes the major temperature changes on earth

two masses are kept 2 metre apart there is gravitational force of 2 Newton what is the gravitational force when they are kept at

sukhopar [10]

Answer: 0.5N

Explanation:

Gravitational force is calculated using the formula :

F = Gm1m2/r^2

Where G is the gravitational constant (6.67 × 10^-11)

At a distance 'r' of 2metres apart:

Mass of objects are m1 and m2

Gravitational force 'F1' = 2N

Inputting values into the formula :

2 = Gm1m2 / 2^2 - - - - - (1)

At a distance 'r' of 4meters apart:

Mass of objects are m1 and m2

Gravitational force 'F2' = y

Inputting values

F2 = Gm1m2 / 4^2 - - - - - (2)

Dividing equations 1 and 2

2 = Gm1m2 / 2^2 ÷ F2 = Gm1m2 / 4^2

2 / F2 = (Gm1m2 / 4) / (Gm1m2 / 16)

2 / F2 = (Gm1m2 / 4) × (16 / Gm1m2)

2/F2 = 16 / 4

Cross multiply

2 × 4 = 16 × F2

8 = 16F2

F2 = 8/16

F2 = 0.5N

Force F acts between a pair of charges, q1 and q2, separated by a distance d. For each of the statements, use the drop-down menu

lora16 [44]

The initial force between the two charges is given by:

$F=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}$

where k is the Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 the two charges, d their separation. Let's analyze now the other situations:

1. F

In this case, q1 is halved, q2 is doubled, but the distance between the charges remains d.

So, we have:

$q_1' = \frac{q_1}{2}\\q_2' = 2 q_2\\d' = d$

So, the new force is:

$F'=k \frac{q_1' q_2'}{d'^2}= k \frac{(\frac{q_1}{2})(2q_2)}{d^2}=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}=F$

So the force has not changed.

2. F/4

In this case, q1 and q2 are unchanged. The distance between the charges is doubled to 2d.

So, we have:

$q_1' = q_1\\q_2' = q_2\\d' = 2d$

So, the new force is:

$F'=k \frac{q_1' q_2'}{d'^2}= k \frac{q_1 q_2)}{(2d)^2}=\frac{1}{4} k \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}=\frac{F}{4}$

So the force has decreased by a factor 4.

3. 6F

In this case, q1 is doubled and q2 is tripled. The distance between the charges remains d.

So, we have:

$q_1' = 2 q_1\\q_2' = 3 q_2\\d' = d$

So, the new force is:

$F'=k \frac{q_1' q_2'}{d'^2}= k \frac{(2 q_1)(3 q_2)}{d^2}=6 k \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}=6F$

So the force has increased by a factor 6.

The smallest detail visible with ground-based solar telescopes is about 1 arc second. How large a region (in km) does this repre

mestny [16]

Answer:

x = 727.5 km

Explanation:

With the conditions given using trigonometry, we can find the tangent

tan θ = CO / CA

With CO the opposite leg and CE is the adjacent leg which is the distance from the Tierral to Sun

D =150 10⁶ km (1000m / 1 km)

D = 150 10⁹ m.

We must take the given angle to radians.

1º = 3600 arc s

π rad = 180º

θ = 1 arc s (1º / 3600 s arc) (pi rad / 180º) =

θ = 4.85 10⁻⁶ rad

That angle is extremely small, so we can approximate the tangent to the angle

θ = x / D

x = θ D

x = 4.85 10-6 150 109

x = 727.5 103 m

x = 727.5 km
