If the probes are identical, then the one that feels a larger gravitational
force is orbiting closer to Jupiter than the other one is.

If they're not identical, then the one with greater mass will feel more
gravitational force than the one with less mass, even if they're both
the same distance from Jupiter.  (We know this from the experimental
observation that fatter people weigh more, even on Earth.)

You obtain a 100-W light bulb and a 50-W light bulb. Instead of connecting them in the normal way, you devise a circuit that pla
lesantik [10]

Answer:

When they are connected in series

     The  50 W bulb glow more than the 100 W bulb

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The power rating  of the first bulb is P_1  = 100 \ W

      The power rating of the second bulb is  P_2  =  50 \ W

     

Generally the power rating of the first bulb is mathematically represented as

      P_1  =  V^2 R

Where  V is the normal household voltage which is constant for both bulbs

  So  

        R_1  =  \frac{V^2}{P_1 }

substituting values

        R_1  =  \frac{V^2}{100}

Thus the resistance of the second bulb would be evaluated as

       R_2  =  \frac{V^2}{50}

From the above calculation we see that

        R_2  >  R_1

This power rating of the first bulb can also be represented mathematically as  

        P_  1  =  I^2_1  R_1

This power rating of the first bulb can also be represented mathematically as    

       P_  2  =  I^2_2 R_2

Now given that they are connected in series which implies that the same current flow through them so

       I_1^2 =  I_2^2

This means  that

       P \ \alpha  \  R

So  when they are connected in series

     P_2  >  P_1

This means that the 50 W bulb glows more than the 100 \ W bulb

Which choice correctly describes what happens during heating?
Masja [62]

Answer:

Option 4

Explanation:

During heating actually heat transfer takes place from a body at higher temperature to a body at lower temperature and the heat transfer takes place until both attain the same temperature  

Therefore heat transfer depends on the temperature of the systems

Now while comparing the thermal energies of the systems, if both the systems have same mass then the system which is at higher temperature has greater thermal energy when compared to the system which is at lower temperature

So in this case assuming that both the systems have same mass then the energy will leave the system with greater thermal energy and go into the system with less thermal energy as the system with greater thermal energy in this case will be at higher temperature and we are considering this assumption because thermal energy not only depends on temperature but also depends on mass of the system

. Light travels at a speed of about 300 000 km/s. a. Express this value in scientific notation. b. Convert this value to meters
olganol [36]

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

Data

light speed = 300 000 km/s

a) Express it in scientific notation

to do it, we just move the decimal point 5 places to the left

         300 000 = 3.0 x 10 ⁵ km/s

b) Convert this value to meters per hour

  (300 000 km/s)(1000 m/1 km)(3600 s/1 h) = 300000x1000x3600 / 1x1x1

                                                                        = 1.08 x 10¹² m/h

c) What distance in centimeters does light travel in 1 s?

data

v = 300 000 km/s

d = ?

t = 1 s

 formula   v = d/t      we clear distance     d = vxt

                                  d = 300000 x 1 = 300000 km

                                   d = 300000000 m = 30000000000 cm
