Water from a fire hose is directed horizontally against a wall at a rate of 58.1 kg/s and a speed of 43.5 m/s. Calculate the mag

nitude of the force exerted on the wall (in N), assuming the water's horizontal momentum is reduced to zero.

Answer:

F = -2527.35 N

Explanation:

Given,

mass per unit time = 58.1 Kg/s

Speed of the water = 43.5 m/s

Final momentum = 0 kg/s

Force = Change in momentum

F = Final momentum - initial momentum

F = 0 - initial momentum

F = 0 -58.1\times 43.5

F = -2527.35 N

Hence, the Force exerted is equal to F = -2527.35 N

A 2.50-m segment of wire carries 1000 A current and feels a 4.00-N repulsive force from a parallel wire 5.00 cm away. What is th
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

The current is  I_b  =  400 \ A

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  length of the segment is  l  =  2.50  \  m

     The current is  I_a  =  1000 \ A

     The force felt is  F  =  4.0 \  N

        The distance of the second wire is  d =  5.0 \ cm  = 0.05 \  m

Generally the current on the second wire is mathematically represented as

        I_b  =  \frac{2 \pi * r * F }{ l *  \mu_o  *  I_a }

Here  \mu_o is the permeability of free space with value  \mu_o =  4 \pi * 10^{-7} \ N/A^2

=>      I_b  =  \frac{2 * 3.142  *  0.05 *  4 }{ 2.50  *  4\pi *10^{-7}  * 1000 }

=>      I_b  =  400 \ A

Would it be true that if you double the distance of an astronaut from a planet, the gravitational pull between them would be hal
velikii [3]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Newton's law of universal gravitation is usually stated that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses(m1 and m2) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers(r).

F = Gm1m2/r²

This is a general physical law derived from

empirical observations by what Isaac Newton called inductive reasoning.

when distance is doubled the gravitational force will be reduced by quarter not half.

The large scale structure of the universe has been carefully mapped using redshift surveys of a very large number of galaxies. A
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

26280

Explanation:

In current time, good telescope can measure redshift to a galaxy in 10 minutes.  

Thus, in one year that has on an average 365 days, the total time taken to  measure redshifts is = ( 365 *12 *60) minute  

= 262800 minutes .

Hence, the number of redshifts observed in a year = (262800/10) = 26280
