X-rays are used instead of visible light because X-rays have shorter ______________ than visible light, allowing them to produce

X-rays have shorter wavelength than visible light. But that's hardly the reason that they're used for medical imaging. xrays have much higher frequencies then visible light which means they have much greater penetrating ability. with xrays you can see inside the body. you can't do that with a visible flashlight no matter how bright and powerful it is.

George is applying a downward force of 50N to and object that has a mass of 50kg. What is the normal force (FN) of the object wh
attashe74 [19]

The normal force acting on the object is 500 N in the upward direction

<u>Explanation:</u>

As George is applying a downward force, the normal force will be in the upward direction. The normal force will be exerted due to the acceleration due to gravity exerted on the object.

So, as per Newton's second law, the normal force acting on the object can be measured by the product of mass of the object and the acceleration due to gravity acting on the object.

But as the acceleration due to gravity is a downward acting acceleration and the normal force is a upward acting force, so the acceleration will be having a negative sign in the formula.

Normal\ force = Mass \times Acceleration\ due\ to\ gravity

Here, acceleration due to gravity g = -10 m/s² and mass is given as 50 kg, then

Normal force = 50 × (-10) = -500 N

So, the normal force acting on the object is 500 N in the upward direction.

1) The gravitational force between Ellen and the moon is 1.56\cdot 10^{-3} N

2) The two forces are equal, while the acceleration of the bus is smaller than the acceleration of the bicycle.

Explanation:

1)

The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is given by

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where

G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2} is the gravitational constant

m_1, m_2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between them

In this problem, we have:

m_1 = 47 kg is the mass of Ellen

m_2 = 7.35\cdot 10^{22} kg is the mass of the moon

r=3.84\cdot 10^8 m is the distance between Ellen and the moon

Substituting, we find the gravitational force between Ellen and the moon:

F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(47)(7.35\cdot 10^{22})}{(3.84\cdot 10^8)^2}=1.56\cdot 10^{-3} N

2)

We can analyze the forces acting in the collision between the bus and the bicycle by using Newton's third law of motion, which states that:

"When an object A exerts a force (called action) on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (called reaction) on object A"

Applied to our problem, this means that the force exerted by the bus on the bicycle during the collision (action force) is equal (and opposite) to the force exerted by the bicycle on the bus (reaction force).

Now let's analyze the accelerations of the two vehicles. We can find the acceleration of each vehicle by using Newton's second law:

a=\frac{F}{m}

where

a is the acceleration

F is the force exerted on the vehicle

m is the mass of the vehicle

As we said previously, the force F exerted on each of the two vehicles: so, the acceleration only depends on the mass. In particular, the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass: therefore, the larger the mass of the vehicle, the smaller the acceleration. This means that the acceleration of the bus is smaller than the acceleration of the bicycle.

Difference between work done against gravity and friction​
mario62 [17]
Mark Brainliest please


Friction is a nonconservative force. Therefore work done against friction cannot be stored as potential energy and later converted back to kinetic the way work against gravity can.

Gravity always pulls objects such as a desk, book or person down. Thus, when you jump, gravity causes you to land on the ground. Friction, however, doesn't pull objects down. ... Instead friction occurs when something like a machine or individual pulls a sliding object in the opposite direction of another object.


Friction and gravity exist in every aspect of a person’s life. For example, almost every movement you make, such as walking and running, involves friction. When you throw a ball up, gravity causes the ball to fall down. A person sliding a book across a table creates friction. Nevertheless, differences between gravity and friction also exist. Force affects gravity and friction in different ways.

Compare the magnitude of the magnetic field at the center of a circular current loop of radius 30 mm with the magnitude of the m
NISA [10]

Answer:

Ratio of magnetic field will be \frac{B}{B'}=0.0055

Explanation:

We have given radius of the loop r = 30 mm = 0.03 m

We know that magnetic field at the center of the loop is given by

B=\frac{\mu _0i}{2r}---------eqn 1

Number of turns in the solenoid is given as n = 3 turn per mm = 3000 turn per meter

We know that magnetic field due to solenoid is given by

B'=n\mu _0i-------------eqn 2

Now dividing eqn 1 by eqn 2

\frac{B}{B'}=\frac{\frac{\mu _0i}{2r}}{\mu _0ni}=\frac{1}{2nr}=\frac{1}{2\times 3000\times 0.03}=0.0055
