Gravity causes the motions of planets, stars, and galaxies. It's why the Moon orbits around the Earth, and the Earth orbits around the Sun, and the solar system orbits around the galaxy.

Gravity keeps planets in orbit. It affects the paths that everything in space takes because every object in space has a gravitational pull towards each other.

Two resistors, A and B, are connected in series to a 6.0 V battery. A voltmeter connected across resistor A measures a potential

mestny [16]

Answer:

Resistance of resistor A = 6.0 Ω and resistance of resistor B = 3.0 Ω

Explanation:

When the two resistors are in series, let V₁ = voltage in resistor A and R₁ = resistance of resistor A and V₂ = voltage in resistor B and R₂ = resistance of resistor B.

Given that V₁ + V₂ = 6.0 V and V₁ = 4.0 V,

V₂ = 6.0 V - V₁ = 6.0 V - 4.0 V = 2.0 V

Also, let the current in series be I.

So, V₁ = IR₁ and V₂ = IR₂

I = V₁/R₁ and I = V₂/R₂

equating both expressions, we have

V₁/R₁ = V₂/R₂

4.0 V/R₁ = 2.0 V/R₂

dividing through by 2.0 V, we have

2/R₁ = 1/R₂

taking the reciprocal, we have

R₂ = R₁/2

R₁ = 2R₂

From the parallel connection, let V₁ = voltage in resistor A and R₁ = resistance of resistor A and V₂ = voltage in resistor B and R₂ = resistance of resistor B. Since it is parallel, V₁ = V₂ = V = 6.0 V

Also, V₂ = I₂R₂ where I₂ = current in resistor B = 2.0 A and R₂ = resistance of resistor B

So, R₂ = V₂/I₂

= 6.0 V/2.0 A

= 3.0 Ω

R₁ = 2R₂

= 2(3.0 Ω)

= 6.0 Ω

So, resistance of resistor A = 6.0 Ω and resistance of resistor B = 3.0 Ω

A bar magnet is held above the center of a conducting ring in the horizontal plane. The magnet is dropped so it falls lengthwise

Alenkinab [10]

Explanation:

Since, it is given that the magnet drops and falls lengthwise towards the canter of the ring. As a result, change in magnetic flux will occur which tends to induce an electric current in the ring.

Therefore, a magnetic field is also produced by the ring itself which will actually oppose or repel the magnet.

Thus, we can conclude that the falling magnet be repelled by the ring due to the magnetic interaction of the magnet and the ring.

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

Two marbles are launched at t = 0 in the experiment illustrated in the figure below. Marble 1 is launched horizontally with a speed of 4.20 m/s from a height h = 0.950 m. Marble 2 is launched from ground level with a speed of 5.94 m/s at an angle above the horizontal. (a) Where would the marbles collide in the absence of gravity? Give the x and y coordinates of the collision point. (b) Where do the marbles collide given that gravity produces a downward acceleration of g = 9.81 m/s2? Give the x and y coordinates.
