Answer:

The gravity on this planet is stronger than that of earth.

Explanation:

First we need to find the acceleration due to gravity value of this planet to compare its gravity force with that of the earth. Hence, we will use second equation of motion:

h = Vi t + (0.5)gt²

where,

h = height or depth of crater = 100 m

Vi = Initial Velocity of rock = 0 m/s

t = time = 4 s

g = acceleration due to gravity on this planet = ?

Therefore,

100 m = (0 m/s)(4 s) + (0.5)(g)(4 s)²

g = (200 m)/(16 s²)

g = 12.5 m/s²

on earth:

ge = 9.8 m/s²

Since,

ge < g

Therefore,

<u>The gravity on this planet is stronger than that of earth.</u>

Analyze the following terms and phrases about solar activity. Select the two that represent correct matches between cause and ef
blagie [28]

Answer:

a) solar activity -- sudden eruptions of large bubbles of plasma and magnetic energy

and

d) solar flare -- sudden release of magnetic energy

Explanation:

We can start by eliminating the options that are definitely wrong.

A coronal mass ejection is not a relatively cool spot on surface of the sun, in fact such a spot is a sunspot, while a coronal mass ejection occurs when the  magnetic field of the sun emerges as a loop. Thus, both options B and E are incorrect, leaving only A,  C, and D. Option C makes no sense, as the sun's gravitational field does not 'churn'. Thus, only options A and D are left. A closer look at A and D reveals they are correct; solar flares are in fact sudden releases of magnetic energy, as seen in this quote from UC Berkeley's website; "Solar flares are caused by sudden changes of strong magnetic fields in the Sun's corona.". And solar activity is a blanket term for the effects of eruptions of plasma and magnetic energy from the sun.

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

Here is the complete question:

https://www.chegg.com/homework-help/questions-and-answers/magnetic-field-372-t-achieved-mit-francis-bitter-national-magnetic-laboratory-find-current-q900632

a) Current for long straight wire  =3.7\ MA

b) Current at the center of the circular coil =2.48\times 10^{5}\ A

c) Current near the center of a solenoid 236.8\ A

Explanation:

⇒ Magnetic Field due to long straight wire is given by (B),where B=\frac{\mu\times I}{2\pi(r) },so\ I=\frac{B\ 2\pi(r)}{\mu}

\mu=4\pi \times 10^{-7}\ \frac{henry}{m}

Plugging the values,

Conversion 1\times 10^6 A = 1\ MA,and 2cm=\frac{2}{100}=0.02\ m

I=\frac{37.2\times \ 2\pi(0.02)}{4\ \pi \times (10^{-7})}=3.7\ MA

⇒Magnetic Field at the center due to circular coil (at center) is given by,B=\frac{\mu\times I (N)}{2(a)}

So I= \frac{2B(a)}{\mu\ N} = \frac{2\times 37.2\times 0.42}{4\pi\times 10^{-7}\times 100}=2.48\time 10{^5}\ A

⇒Magnetic field due to the long solenoid,B=\mu\ nI=\mu (\frac{N}{l})I

Then I=\frac{B}{\mu(\frac{N}{L})} \approx 236.8\A  

So the value of current are  3.7 MA,2.48\times 10^{5} A and 236.8\ A respectively.

One normal afternoon in undisclosed City X, the chocolate factory workers overload the Easter egg machine. A group of angsty tee
musickatia [10]

Answer:

The correct option is;

C. 1,715 m

Explanation:

We are given the information from the group of teen at the City edge

Time of arrival of explosion sound = 5 s after sighting

Time of sighting explosion = 5 s before hearing the boom

Speed of sound in air ≈ 343 m/s

Speed of light = 299,792 km/s

Therefore, distance covered by sound in 5 seconds is given by the following equation;

Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}

\therefore 343 \ m/s= \frac{Distance}{5 \, s}

Hence Distance = 343 m/s × 5 s = 1715 m

To check, we compare the time it would take for the light to cover 1715 m

That is Time = \frac{Distance}{Speed} =  \frac{1715}{299,792,000} = 0.00000572 \, s which is instantaneous hence the distance can be approximated by the time duration for the speed of sound.

Therefore, the distance of the students from the factory is approximately 1,715 m

Answer:

C. amount of charge on the source charge.

Explanation:

Electric field lines can be defined as a graphical representation of the vector field or electric field.

Basically, it was first introduced by Michael Faraday and it is typically a curve drawn to the tangent of a point is in the direction of the net field acting on each point.

The number, or density, of field lines on a source charge indicate the amount of charge on the source charge. Therefore, the density of field lines on a source charge is directly proportional to quantity of charge on the source.
