Answer:

Option B.

Explanation:

Assuming the stick is in vertical position, its shadow depends on two factors: its length and the angle between the sun rays and the stick. When the angle is bigger, the lenght of the shadow increases, and vice versa. So, when the sun rays are parallel to the stick, the shadow may be small. Since they are nearly perpendicular to the Earth's surface at 12 o'clock, the shadow of the stick at that time should be minimal. It means that the measured shadow of 75 cm at 12:30 p.m. is almost impossible (Option B).

1. A 700 kg satellite is in orbit 2.4 x 106 meters from the center of the Earth. What is the force of
nevsk [136]

Answer:

4.8 \cdot 10^4 N

Explanation:

The force of gravity acting on the satellite is given by:

F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M=5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg is the Earth's mass

m is the mass of the satellite

r is the distance of the satellite from the Earth's centre

Here we have

m = 700 kg

r=2.4\cdot 10^6 m

Substituting into the equation, we find:

F=\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.98\cdot 10^{24})(700)}{(2.4\cdot 10^6)^2}=4.8 \cdot 10^4 N

<em>Note that the distance mentioned in the problem (2.4 x 10^6 meters) is not realistic, since it is less than the radius of the Earth (6.37 x 10^6 meters).</em>

An LC circuit consists of a 3.400 capacitor and a coil with self-inductance 0.080 H and no appreciable resistance. At t = 0 the
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

charge on the capacitor = capacitance x potential

= 1.588 x 3.4

= 5.4 C  

Energy of capacitor  = 1 / 2 C V ² , C is capacitance , V is potential

=  .5 x 3.4 x 1.588²

= 4.29  J

If I be maximum current

energy of inductor = 1/2 L I² , L is inductance of inductor .

energy of inductance = Energy of capacitor

1/2 L I² = 4.29

I² = 107.25

I = 10.35 A

Time period of oscillation

T = 2π √ LC

=2π √ .08 X 3.4

= 3.275 s

current in the inductor will be maximum in T / 4 time

= 3.275 / 4

= .819 s.

Total energy of the system

= initial energy of the capacitor

=  4.29  J
