<u>Answer:</u>

The spinning of the earth around its own axis causes day and night.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Earth has two types of motions. It spins around its own axis causing day and night every 12 hours and completes a rotation in 23.93 hours that make a full day. The part of the earth that faces sunlight during spinning experiences day and the other part has night. It also rotates around the sun and completes one rotation in 365 days that makes a year.

A horizontal wire of length 0.53 m. carrying a current of 7.5 A. is placed in a uniform external magnetic field. When the wire i

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

3.4 mT

Explanation:

L = 0.53 m

i = 7.5 A

Theta = 19 degree

F = 4.4 × 10^-3 N

Let B be the strength of magnetic field.

Force on a current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field.

F = i × L × B × Sin theta

4.4 × 10^-3 = 7.5 × 0.53 × B × Sin 19

B = 3.4 × 10^-3 Tesla

B = 3.4 mT

A balloon is expanded to the same volume as that of a human head. Do an order-of-magnitude estimate of the volume of this balloo

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Volume of balloon = 1000 cm^3

Explanation:

The head of a normal person can be assumed as a sphere with radius 10 cm.

Volume of sphere $=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$ , where r is the radius.

We have approximate radius = 10 cm.

Approximate volume of head $=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3=\frac{4}{3} *\pi* 10^3=4188cm^3$

In the given options the closest value to the approximate volume is 1000 cm^3.

So, volume of head = Volume of balloon = 1000 cm^3

We can model a pine tree in the forest as having a compact canopy at the top of a relatively bare trunk. Wind blowing on the top

frez [133]

We need to consider for this exercise the concept Drag Force and Torque. The equation of Drag force is

$F_D = c_D A \frac{\rho V^2}{2}$

Where,

F_D = Drag Force

$c_D$ = Drag coefficient

A = Area

$\rho$ = Density

V = Velocity

Our values are given by,

$c_D = 0.5$ (That is proper of a cone-shape)

$A = 9m^2$

$\rho = 1.2Kg/m^3$

$V = 6.5m/s$

Part A ) Replacing our values,

$F_D = 0.5*9*\frac{1.2*6.5^2}{2}$

$F_D = 114.075N$

Part B ) To find the torque we apply the equation as follow,

$\tau = F*d$

$\tau = (114.075N)(7)$

$\tau = 798.525N.m$

What is a linear motion

nirvana33 [79]

Linear motion (also called rectilinear motion) is a motion along a straight line, and can therefore be described mathematically using only one spatial dimension.

You have a double slit experiment, with the distance between the two slits to be 0.025 cm. A screern is 120 cm behind the double

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

The wavelength of the light is 633 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance between the two slits d= 0.025 cm

Distance between the screen and slits D = 120 cm

Distance between the slits y= 1.52 cm

We need to calculate the angle

Using formula of double slit

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{y}{D}$

Where, y = Distance between the slits

D = Distance between the screen and slits

Put the value into the formula

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{1.52}{120}$

$\theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{1.52}{120}$

$\theta=0.725$

We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of wavelength

$d\sin\theta=n\lambda$

Put the value into the formula

$0.025\times\sin0.725=5\times\lambda$

$\lambda=\dfrac{0.025\times10^{-2}\times\sin0.725}{5}$

$\lambda=6.326\times10^{-7}\ m$

$\lambda=633\ nm$

Hence, The wavelength of the light is 633 nm.
