Explanation:

Constellation: The complete sky has been divided in 88 different areas, in a way we have divided Earth in countries, not necessarily having same shapes and size. These 88 areas are known as constellations. These contains a lot of stars. When we join the brightest stars together we can imagine a shape out of them which is called as Asterism. Most of the people are unaware of this difference. Some of the famous constellations are Orion, Taurus, Gemini, Hydra, Ursa Major etc.

When an astronomer says that there is a comet is in the Orion, he means that a comet is in the boundaries of Orion constellation.

A metal wire 1.50 m long has a circular cross section of radius 0.32 mm and an end-to-end resistance of 90.0 Ohms. The metal wir
elixir [45]

Answer:

So after stretching new resistance will be 0.1823 ohm

Explanation:

We have given initially length of the wire l_1=150m

Radius of the wire r_1=0.32mm=0.32\times 10^{-3}m

Resistance of the wire initially R_1=90ohm

We know that resistance is equal to R=\frac{\rho l}{A} ,here \rho is resistivity, l is length and A is area

From the relation we can say that \frac{R_1}{R_2}=\frac{l_1}{l_2}\times \frac{A_2}{A_1}

Now length of wire become 6.75 m

Volume will be constant

So A_1l_1=A_2l_2

So \pi \times (0.32)^2\times150=\pi \times r_2^2\times 6.75

r_2=1.508mm

So \frac{90}{R_2}=\frac{150}{6.75}\times \frac{1.508^2}{0.32^2}

R_2=0.1823ohm

Calculate the focal length of a lens needed by a woman whose near point is 50cm from her eyes, assuming the least distance of di
son4ous [18]

The focal length of a lens needed by a woman whose near point is 50cm from her eyes is 50cm.

To find the answer, we have to know about the focal length of correcting lens.

<h3>How to find the focal length of correcting lens?</h3>
  • If x is the distance of nearest point of the defective eye and D is the least distance of distinct vision, then, the expression for focal length of the correcting lens will be,

                           f=\frac{XD}{X-D}

  • It is given that, the woman whose near point is 50cm from her eyes, assuming the least distance of distinct vision for a normal eye is 25cm. Thus, the focal length will be,

                       f=\frac{50*25}{50-25} =50cm.

Thus, we can conclude that, the focal length of a lens needed by a woman whose near point is 50cm from her eyes is 50cm.

What does it mean when we say two objects are in equilibrium
cupoosta [38]

An object is considered to be in a condition of equilibrium when it is balanced with regard to all external forces.

Equilibrium:

An object is considered to be in equilibrium if both its angular acceleration and the acceleration of its center of mass are equal to zero. In layman's terms: The item must either be at rest or moving at a constant speed if it is not accelerating because F = ma (force = mass x acceleration). Even in motion, a body can be in equilibrium. This kind of equilibrium is referred to as a dynamic equilibrium.

A weight suspended by a spring or a brick laying on a flat surface is an example. The equilibrium is unstable if the force with the smallest deviation tends to increase the displacement. As an example, imagine a ball bearing on the edge of a razor blade.

The earth has a vertical electric field at the surface, pointing down, that averages 100 N/C. This field is maintained by variou
zlopas [31]

Answer:

q = 3.6 10⁵  C

Explanation:

To solve this exercise, let's use one of the consequences of Gauss's law, that all the charge on a body can be considered at its center, therefore we calculate the electric field on the surface of a sphere with the radius of the Earth

          r = 6 , 37 106 m

          E = k q / r²

          q = E r² / k

          q = \frac{100 \ (6.37 \ 10^6)^2}{9 \ 10^9}

          q = 4.5 10⁵ C

Now let's calculate the charge on the planet with E = 222 N / c and radius

           r = 0.6 r_ Earth

           r = 0.6 6.37 10⁶ = 3.822 10⁶ m

           E = k q / r²

            q = E r² / k

            q = \frac{222 (3.822 \ 10^6)^2}{ 9 \ 10^9}

            q = 3.6 10⁵  C
