The distance is measured between the 'centers of mass',
or 'centers of gravity' of both objects. That's the point inside
the object where there's the same amount of mass in every
direction away from it.
If the object is something like a sphere, or a cube, or a uniform
wooden board, or anything "symmetrical", then the center of mass /
center of gravity is the actual center of the object. If the object has
some irregular shape, then it's harder to calculate or measure where
its center is.
Answer:
When the force is applied along the direction of motion of the object.
Explanation:
When the force is applied in the direction of the velocity vector of the object, then only the magnitude of the velocity changes and the direction of motion remains unchanged. For example is you push an already moving cart in the direction its moving, then you will only changed its speed and not its direction.
Answer:
d) The image would be dimmer
Explanation:
When inverted image of an object is viewed on a screen from the side facing a converging lens, the
lens focuses the diverging, and blurred light rays from the distance object through refraction of the rays two times.Then the rays is converge by the double bending cl at a focal point behind the lens inorder for a sharper image to be be observed.
But when an opaque card is then introduced to cover only the upper half of the lens then the image becomes dimmer because of the reduction in the light intensity on the screen by 50%
Answer:
Sound waves travel faster in a low-density gas
Explanation:
First of all, let's remind that sound waves are pressure waves: they consist of oscillations of the particles in a medium, which oscillate back and forth along the direction of motion of the wave (longitudinal wave).
The speed of sound in an ideal gas is given by the equation
where
is the adiabatic index of the gas
p is the gas pressure
is the gas density
From the equation, we see that the speed of sound is inversely proportional to the square root of the density: therefore, the lower the density, the faster the sound waves.
So, sound waves will travel faster in a low-density gas.
Answer:
F = q v B where B is the component of the field perpendicular to v.
F = 1.6E-19 * 4E5 * 7E-5 = 4.48* 10^-18 N = 44.8 * E-19 N
