<u>Answer: The model is described by :</u>

The strength of the field increases as you get closer to Earth, as shown by the smaller spaces between the circles.

Explanation :

According to universal gravitational law, the force acting in the universe between two objects is given by :

F=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{r^2}

It is clear that the gravitational force depends directly on the product of masses and inversely on the square of the distance between them.

The given image shows a model of the gravitational field around Earth. The arrows in the image show the direction of the force. Gravitational field depends on the position of objects.

As we move closer to the earth, the force increases and hence the field increase.

So, the correct option is (D) " The strength of the field increases as you get closer to Earth, as shown by the smaller spaces between the circles ".

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

0.785 m/s

Explanation:

Hi!

To solve this problem we will use the equation of motion of the harmonic oscillator, <em>i.e.</em>

x(t) = A cos(\omega t )+B sin(\omega t) - (1)

\frac{dx}{dt}(t) = \omega (B cos(\omega t )- A sin(\omega t) - (1)

The problem say us that the spring is released from rest when the spring is stretched by 0.100 m, this condition is given as:

x(0) = 0.100

\frac{dx}{dt}(0) = 0

Since cos(0)=1 and sin(0) = 0:

x(0)=A

\frac{dx}{dt}(0) = -B\omega

We get

A =0.100\\B = 0

Now it say that after 0.4s the weigth reaches zero speed. This will happen when the sping shrinks by 0.100. This condition is written as:

x(0.4) = - 0.100

Since

x(t) = 0.100 cos(\omega t)\\ -0.100=x(0.4)=0.100cos(\omega 0.4)

This is the same as:

-1 = cos(0.4\omega)

We know that cosine equals to -1 when its argument is equal to:

(2n+1)π

With n an integer

The first time should happen when n=0

Therefore:

π = 0.4ω

or

ω = π/0.4  -- (2)

Now, the maximum speed will be reached when the potential energy is zero, <em>i.e. </em>when the sping is not stretched, that is when x = 0

With this info we will know at what time it happens:

0 = x(t) = 0.100cos(\omega t)

The first time that the cosine is equal to zero is when its argument is equal to π/2

<em>i.e.</em>

t_{maxV}=\pi /(2\omega)

And the velocity at that time is:

\frac{dx}{dt}(t_{maxV} ) =- 0.100\omega sin(\omega t_{maxV})\\\frac{dx}{dt}(t_{maxV} ) =- 0.100\omega sin(\pi/2)\\

But sin(π/2) = 1.

Therefore, using eq(2):

\frac{dx}{dt}(t_{maxV} ) = 0.100*\omega = 0.100\frac{\pi}{0.400} = \pi/4

And so:

V_{max} = \pi / 4 =0.785

An opera singer who is a baritone, lowers his pitch and raises his voice for a song. Which best describes how the resulting soun
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer: 3.

Explanation:

The correct answer is a higher amplitude and lower frequency. Since an opera singer is lowering his pitch it means that he is creating higher amplitude and because he is raising his voice for a song with that higher amplitude he is creating lower frequency.

A 2.5 kg steel gasoline tank can holds 20.0 L of gasoline when full. What is the average density (in Kg/m^3) of the full gas can
yarga [219]

Answer:

D=792.3\ kg/m^3

Explanation:

<u>Average Density </u>

The density of an object of mass m and volume V is

\displaystyle D=\frac{m}{V}

If we know the density and the volume occupied by the object, the mass can be computed as

m=D.V

The tank can hold 20 L of gasoline when full. Converting to cubic meters

V_g=20*0.001=0.02\ m^3

That's the volume of the gasoline it contains. Knowing the density of the gasoline, we get the mass of gasoline.

m_g=680*0.02=13.6\ kg

To know the total mass of both, we add the 2.5 kg of the tank

m=m_t+m_g=13.6+2.5=16.1\ kg

The volume of the tank is computed solving for V

\displaystyle V=\frac{m}{D}

\displaystyle V_t=\frac{2.5}{7800}=3.205\times 10^{-4}\ m^3

The total volume is

V=V_g+V_t=0.02+3.205\times 10^{-4}=0.0203\ m^3

The average density is

\displaystyle D=\frac{16.1}{0.0203}

\boxed{D=792.3\ kg/m^3}
