In 1665 Sir Isaac Newton proposed the fundamental law of gravitation as a universal force of attraction between any two bodies.

Explanation:

According to Newton's law of gravitation, the force of attraction acting between the objects is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the objects and is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Every particles attracts every other particles in the Universe according to Newton's law of gravitation. This is due to the gravitational force acting between the objects.

The force of gravitation depends on the masses on the objects. The mass of the earth is larger than the apple. Then, an apple will fall on the earth.

An apple falls on the earth due to the force of gravitation between an apple and the earth.

The mass of the earth is larger than the moon. The force of gravitation is responsible to keep the moons in its orbits. It is balanced by the centripetal force. Otherwise, the moon will fall on the earth.

Water flows through a cast steel pipe (k = 50 W m.K, ε = 0.8) with an outer diameter of 104mm and 2 mm wall thickness. Calculate
masha68 [24]

Answer:

The heat loss per unit length is   \frac{Q}{L}   = 2981 W/m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The outer diameter of the pipe is d = 104mm = \frac{104}{1000} = 0.104 m

     The thickness is  D = 2mm = \frac{2}{1000} = 0.002m  

      The temperature  of water is  T = 90^oC = 90 + 273 = 363K  

      The outside air temperature is T_a = -10^oC = -10 +273 = 263K

        The water side heat transfer coefficient is z_1 = 300 W/ m^2 \cdot K

       The  heat transfer coefficient is  z_2 = 20 W/m^2 \cdot K

The heat lost per unit length is mathematically represented as

           \frac{Q}{L}   = \frac{2 \pi (T - Ta)}{ \frac{ln [\frac{d}{D} ]}{z_1}  +  \frac{ln [\frac{d}{D} ]}{z_2}}

Substituting values

         \frac{Q}{L}   = \frac{2 * 3.142 (363 - 263)}{ \frac{ln [\frac{0.104}{0.002} ]}{300}  +  \frac{ln [\frac{0.104}{0.002} ]}{20}}

           \frac{Q}{L}   = \frac{628}{0.2107}

           \frac{Q}{L}   = 2981 W/m

How is light reflected from a prism​
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

White light entering a prism is bent, or refracted, and the light separates into its constituent wavelengths. Each wavelength of light has a different colour and bends at a different angle. The colours of white light always emerge through a prism in the same order—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.

Relative density has no unit .why ?​
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Relative density is a ratio of the density of a certain material to the density of a reference material. Relative density has no unit, because the units of the material in question cancel out with the units of the reference material. For example, say a cooking oil’s density is 0.9 g/cm^3.

A ball is launched with initial speed v from the ground level up a frictionless hill. The hill becomes steeper as the ball slide
Triss [41]

Answer:

H(max) = (v²/2g)

Explanation:

The maximum height the ball will climb will be when there is no friction at all on the surface of the hill.

Normally, the conservation of kinetic energy (specifically, the work-energy theorem) states that, the change in kinetic energy of a body between two points is equal to the work done in moving the body between the two points.

With no frictional force to do work, all of the initial kinetic emergy is used to climb to the maximum height.

ΔK.E = W

ΔK.E = (final kinetic energy) - (initial kinetic energy)

Final kinetic energy = 0 J, (since the body comes to rest at the height reached)

Initial kinetic energy = (1/2)(m)(v²)

Workdone in moving the body up to the height is done by gravity

W = - mgH

ΔK.E = W

0 - (1/2)(m)(v²) = - mgH

mgH = mv²/2

gH = v²/2

H = v²/2g.

A thermos bottle has two layers, a glass layer and a vacuum layer.
SIZIF [17.4K]

The vacuum layer is the better thermal insulator

Explanation:

Depending on how they conduct heat, materials can be classified into two types:

  • Thermal conductos: these are materials that are able to transfer heat efficiently. Examples of thermal conductors are metals in general: in fact, when you heat one side of a metal bar, the other end becomes hot very fast; this means that the heat has been transferred very quickly across the metal rod
  • Thermal insulators: these are materials that do not transfer heat well. In general, gases or rarefied substances are better insulators, because the particles are more spread apart, and therefore the heat (which is transferred by conduction through collisions between molecules) is transferred less efficiently, due to the large distance between the particles.

In this sense, vacuum is the best possible insulator. This is because vacuum contains no particles at all, so there cannot be transfer of heat by conduction (because there cannot be collisions between molecules), and therefore, vacuum is the best thermal insulator.
