Answer:

First law

Explanation:

The gravity of the Sun causes the planets to move in a circular path. This is due to first law of motion. The first law states that an object will be at rest and an object will be in motion until no external force acts on it.

It is possible due to sun's gravity pull that the planets move in a circular path. Without sun's gravity the planet would move in a straight line. Hence, the correct option is (a) " first law of motion".

I know that its not the second law. I'm almost positive its the first one. Please let me know if I'm wrong. This sentence makes no sense when you put it with the third law. So, the first law is my guess...

There are 2 concentric cylinders. These cylinders are very long with length L. The inner cylinder has a radius R1 and is a solid

OLga [1]

To get the charge along the inner cylinder, we use Gauss Law
E = d R1/2εo
For the outer cylinder the charge can be calculated using
E = d R2^2/2εoR1
where d is the charge density
Use these two equations to get the charge in between the cylinders and the capacitance between them.

A spring is 20cm long is stretched to 25cm by a load of 50N. What will be its length when stretched by 100N. assuming that the e

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Final Length = 30 cm

Explanation:

The relationship between the force applied on a string and its stretching length, within the elastic limit, is given by Hooke's Law:

F = kΔx

where,

F = Force applied

k = spring constant

Δx = change in length of spring

First, we find the spring constant of the spring. For this purpose, we have the following data:

F = 50 N

Δx = change in length = 25 cm - 20 cm = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Therefore,

50 N = k(0.05 m)

k = 50 N/0.05 m

k = 1000 N/m

Now, we find the change in its length for F = 100 N:

100 N = (1000 N/m)Δx

Δx = (100 N)/(1000 N/m)

Δx = 0.1 m = 10 cm

but,

Δx = Final Length - Initial Length

10 cm = Final Length - 20 cm

Final Length = 10 cm + 20 cm

<u>Final Length = 30 cm</u>

The current in a single-loop circuit with one resistance R is 6.3 A. When an additional resistance of 3.4 Ω is inserted in serie

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

10.15Ω

Explanation:

From ohm's law,

V = IR...................... Equation 1

Where V = Voltage, I = current, R = resistance.

Assume the voltage across the resistance = V,

Given: I = 6.3 A

Substitute into equation 1

V = 6.3R.................. Equation 2

When an additional resistance of 3.4 Ω is inserted in series with R,

The voltage remain the same, but the current changes

Total Resistance(Rt) = (R+3.4)Ω, I' = 4.72 A

Also from ohm' law,

V = I'Rt............... Equation 3

Substitute the value of I' and Rt into equation 3

V = 4.72(R+3.4)............... Equation 5.

Divide equation 2 by equation 5

V/V = 6.3R/4.72(R+3.4)

1 = 1.335R/(R+3.4)

R+3.4 = 1.335R

3.4 = 1.335R-R

3.4 = 0.335R

R = 3.4/0.335

R = 10.15Ω
