Answer:

2014.44 N

Explanation:

mass of spacecraft, m = 1850 kg

distance r = 3 x R

where r be the radius of earth.

g be the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth and g' be the acceleration due to gravity at height

\frac{g'}{g}=\left (\frac{R}{r}  \right )^{2}

\frac{g'}{g}=\left (\frac{R}{3R}  \right )^{2}

g' = g / 9

g' = 9.8 / 9 = 1.089 m/s²

Force of gravity on the space craft

F = m g' = 1850 x 1.089

F = 2014.44 N

Thus, the force of gravity on the space craft at height is 2014.44 N.

A boy is whirling a stone around his head by means of a string. The string makes one complete revolution every second; and the m
Damm [24]

Answer

given,                                                

Tension of string is F                                                  

velocity is increased and the radius is not changed.      

the string makes two complete revolutions every second

consider the centrifugal force acting on the stone          

  = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}                          

now centrifugal force is balanced by tension

T =\dfrac{mv^2}{r}                                

From the above expression we can clearly see that tension is directly proportional to velocity and inversely proportional to radius.

When radius is not changing velocity is increasing means tension will also increase in the string.

A glass plate (n = 1.64) is covered with a thin, uniform layer of oil (n = 1.28). A light beam of variable wavelength from air i
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is case of interference in thin films

for constructive interference in thin film the condition is

2μ t = (2n+1)λ/2    ;  μ is refractive index of oil , t is thickness of oil , λ is wave length of light .

2 x 1.28 x t = λ/2 , if n = 0

2 x 1.28 x t = 605 /2

t = 118.16 nm .

the minimum non-zero thickness of the oil film required = 118.16 nm.
