Why centre of mass equal to centre of gravity

Physics

Because mass and distance determine gravity, so the more mass you have, the more gravity.

Hopefully this helps you The center of gravity is based on weight, whereas the center of mass is based on mass. So, when the gravitational field across an object is uniform, the two are identical. ... More practically, the COG is the point over which the object can be perfectly balanced; the net torque due to gravityabout that point is zero.

Explain how a parachute works
Shtirlitz [24]
A parachute increases air friction, thus reducing falling speed.

Indeed, the air friction is roughly proportional to the surface of the object falling down; the parachute tremendously increases that surface.

What are the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of an electron at a point where the electric field has magnitude 7400 N
bezimeni [28]

Answer: a = 1.32 * 10^18m/s² due north

Explanation: The magnitude of the force required to move the electron is given as

F = ma

The force exerted on the charge by the electric field of intensity (E) is given by

F = Eq

Thus

Eq = ma

a = E * q/ m

Where a = acceleration of charge

E = strength of electric field = 7400N/c

q = magnitude of electronic charge = 1.609 * 10^-6c

m = mass of an electronic charge = 9.109 * 10^-31kg

a = 7400 * 1.609 * 10^-16/ 9.109 * 10^-31

a = 11906.6 * 10^-16 / 9.019 * 10^-31

a = 1.19 * 10^-12 / 9.019 * 10^-31

a = 0.132 * 10^19

a = 1.32 * 10^18m/s²

As stated in the question, the direction of the electric field is due north hence, the direction of it force will also be north thus making the electron experience a force due north ( according to Newton second law of motion)

Which electromagnetic wave would have a wavelength approximately the size of the tip of a pencil?
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

That's simply because any electromagnetic wave longer than a microwave is called a radio wave. Microwaves: Obviously used for cooking in microwave ovens, but also for transmitting information in radar equipment. Microwaves are like short-wavelength radio waves. Typical size: 15cm (the length of a pencil).

What tripositive ion has the electron configuration [kr] 4d3 ? what neutral atom has the electron configuration [kr] 5s 2 4d2 ?
tigry1 [53]

(a)

Electronic configuration is given as follows:

[Kr]4d^{3}

Since, this is the electronic configuration of ion with+3 that means 3 electrons are removed. On adding the 3 electrons, the electronic configuration of neutral atom can be obtained.

Thus, electronic configuration of neutral atom is [Kr]4d^{5}5s^{1}.

The atomic number of Kr is 36, thus, total number of electrons become 36+6=42.

This corresponds to element: molybdenum. Thus, the tripositive atom will be Mo^{3+}.

(b) The given electronic configuration is [Kr]5s^{2}4d^{2}.

The atomic number of Kr is 36, thus, total number of electrons become 36+4=40.

This corresponds to element zirconium, represented by symbol Zr.
