A 4 kg and 6 kg bowling ball are dropped from the same height at the same time. The two balls strike the ground at the same time

. Which statement is true about the force due to gravity on the balls?

The force of gravity on objects is proportional to the mass of each object.

(That's a big part of the reason why, when you eat more and your mass
increases, you weigh more.)

The forces of gravity between the Earth and the 6kg ball are 50% greater
than the forces of gravity between the Earth and the 4kg ball.

(The gravitational forces between the 4kg ball and the 6kg ball, or between
both bowling balls and you, are so small that they may be ignored.)

A pendulum consists of a 1.7-kg block hanging on a 1.6-m length string. A 0.01-kg bullet moving with a horizontal velocity of 82

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

0.42 m

Explanation:

mass of pendulum, M = 1.7 kg

Length of pendulum , l = 1.6 m

mass of bullet, m = 0.01 kg

initial velocity of bullet, u = 828 m/s

final velocity of bullet, v = 340 m/s

initial velocity of pendulum, U = 0

Let the final velocity of pendulum is V.

Use conservation of momentum for bullet and the pendulum

m x u + M x U = m x v + M x V

0.01 x 828 + 1.7 x 0 = 0.01 x 340 + 1.7 x V

8.28 + 0 = 3.4 = 1.7 V

V = 2.87 m/s

Now the kinetic energy of the pendulum is converted into potential energy of pendulum and let it raised to a height of h from the initial level.

Use energy conservation

Kinetic energy of the pendulum = potential energy of the pendulum

0.5 x M x V² = M x g x h

0.5 x 2.87 x 2.87 = 9.8 x h

h = 0.42 m

Which of the following is the best definition of a closed system?

lisov135 [29]

The answer is either

b A system in which Newton's Laws are valid

or

c A system in which there are no external forces.

Explanation:

not a, and not d

There are energy changes in a closed system.

A closed system obeys the conservation laws in its physical description.

Listed following are the names and mirror diameters for six of the world’s greatest reflecting telescopes used to gather visible

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Large binocular telescope, Keck 1 telescope, Hobby-Ebberly telescope, Subaru telescope, Gemini North telescope, Magellan 2 telescope

Explanation:

How much light a telescope can collect depends on its diameter, since in a bigger area more photons will be collected.

Remember that in a circle the area is defined as:

$A = \pi r^{2}$ (1)

Where A is the area and r is its radius.

However, the radius can be determined by means of its diameter.

$d = 2r$

$r = \frac{d}{2}$ (1)

Where d is its diameter.

An example of this is when a person is collecting raindrops with a bucket and with a cup. Since the bucket has a bigger area than the cup, it will collect more raindrops by unit of time. In this scenario the raindrops represent the photons.

To determine the light collecting area of each telescope, equation 2 will be replaced in equation 1.

$A = \pi (\frac{d}{2})^{2}$ (3)

Case for Large binocular telescope:

$A_{mirror1} = \pi (\frac{8.4m}{2})^{2}$

$A_{mirror1} = 55.41m$

For the second mirror will be the same value

$A = A_{mirror1}+A_{mirror2}$

$A = 55.41m+55.41m$

$A= 110.82m$

Case for Keck 1 telescope:

$A = \pi (\frac{10m}{2})^{2}$

$A = 78.53m$

Case for Hobby-Ebberly telescope:

$A = \pi (\frac{9.2m}{2})^{2}$

$A = 66.47m$

Case for Subaru telescope:

$A = \pi (\frac{8.3m}{2})^{2}$

$A = 54.10m$

Case for Gemini North telescope:

$A = \pi (\frac{8m}{2})^{2}$

$A = 50.26m$

Case for Magellan 2 telescope:

$A = \pi (\frac{6.5m}{2})^{2}$

$A = 33.18m$

Hence, they may be rank in the following way:

Large binocular telescope, Keck 1 telescope, Hobby-Ebberly telescope, Subaru telescope, Gemini North telescope, Magellan 2 telescope.

The magnitude E of an electric field depends on the radial distance r according to E = A/r4, where A is a constant with unit vol

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

$\Delta V = 0.053 A$

Explanation:

Electric field in a given region is given by equation

$E = \frac{A}{r^4}$

as we know the relation between electric field and potential difference is given as

$\Delta V = -\int E. dr$

so here we have

$\Delta V = - \int (\frac{A}{r^4}) .dr$

$\Delta V = \frac{A}{3r_1^3} - \frac{A}{3r_2^3}$

here we know that

$r_1 = 1.71 m$ and $r_2 = 2.89 m$

so we will have

$\Delta V = \frac{A}{3}(\frac{1}{1.71^3} - \frac{1}{2.89^3})$

so we will have

$\Delta V = 0.053 A$
