The force of gravity pulls down on your school with a total force of 400,000 newtons. The force of gravity pulling down on your

school would be exactly twice as much if your school: a Had twice as much mass b Was twice as tall c Had twice as much volume d Covered twice as much area pleaseeee help

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Force of gravity can be expressed as:

F = GMM/R^2

Where

F = gravitational force

M = mass

R = distance

Also, W = mg

From the above equation, we can deduce that force of gravity actually depends on mass and not volume.

The correct answer is therefore A.

Had twice as much mass

Therefore, the force of gravity pulls down on your school with a total force of 400,000 newtons. The force of gravity pulling down on your school would be exactly twice as much if your school Had twice as much mass

A ball is thrown horizontally from a window that is 15.4 meters high at a speed of 3.01 m/s. How far will the ball go before hit
tia_tia [17]

The distance travelled by the ball that is thrown horizontally from a window that is 15.4 meters high at a speed of 3.01 m/s is 5.34 m

s = ut + 1 / 2 at²

s = Distance

u = Initial velocity

t = Time

a = Acceleration

Vertically,

s = 15.4 m

u = 0

a = 9.8 m / s²

15.4 = 0 + ( 1 / 2 * 9.8 * t² )

t² = 3.14

t = 1.77 s

Horizontally,

u = 3.01 m / s

a = 0 ( Since there is no external force )

s = ( 3.01 * 1.77 ) + 0

s = 5.34 m

Therefore, the distance travelled by the ball before hitting the ground is 5.34 m

A point charge q is located at the center of a spherical shell of radius a that has a charge −q uniformly distributed on its sur
muminat

Answer:

a) E = 0

b) E =  \dfrac{k_e \cdot q}{ r^2 }

Explanation:

The electric field for all points outside the spherical shell is given as follows;

a) \phi_E = \oint E \cdot  dA =  \dfrac{\Sigma q_{enclosed}}{\varepsilon _{0}}

From which we have;

E \cdot  A =  \dfrac{{\Sigma Q}}{\varepsilon _{0}} = \dfrac{+q + (-q)}{\varepsilon _{0}}  = \dfrac{0}{\varepsilon _{0}} = 0

E = 0/A = 0

E = 0

b) \phi_E = \oint E \cdot  dA =  \dfrac{\Sigma q_{enclosed}}{\varepsilon _{0}}

E \cdot  A  = \dfrac{+q }{\varepsilon _{0}}

E  = \dfrac{+q }{\varepsilon _{0} \cdot A} = \dfrac{+q }{\varepsilon _{0} \cdot 4 \cdot \pi \cdot r^2}

By Gauss theorem, we have;

E\oint dS =  \dfrac{q}{\varepsilon _{0}}

Therefore, we get;

E \cdot (4 \cdot \pi \cdot r^2) =  \dfrac{q}{\varepsilon _{0}}

The electrical field outside the spherical shell

E =  \dfrac{q}{\varepsilon _{0} \cdot (4 \cdot \pi \cdot r^2) }= \dfrac{q}{4 \cdot \pi \cdot \varepsilon _{0} \cdot r^2 }=  \dfrac{q}{(4 \cdot \pi \cdot \varepsilon _{0} )\cdot r^2 }

k_e=  \dfrac{1}{(4 \cdot \pi \cdot \varepsilon _{0} ) }

Therefore, we have;

E =  \dfrac{k_e \cdot q}{ r^2 }

1. Which type of wire would be a better conductor of an electrical current?
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

1. a

2. b

3. b

Explanation:

1.

Resistance is the property of a conductor to offer resistance to the flow of current. The lower the resistance better is  the conductivity of wire.

We know that the resistance of a wire depends on several factor which are inter-connected by an equation as:

R=\rho.\frac{l}{a}

where:

R = resistance of the wire

l = length of the wire

a= cross sectional area of the wire  

from the above relation we observe that

R\propto l

R\propto \frac{1}{a}

  • Also when the temperature of the wire is significantly high then the lattice vibration cause obstruction in the path of the flowing charges and reduce the current flow.

2.

As the collision between the electrons and protons increases the speed of the flow of charges will decrease because the opposite charges attract each other and as we know that electrical current is the rate of flow of charge.

3.

Heating up of wire due to sunlight will cause lattice vibration in the conductor and will obstruct the movement of the charges which build up electric current, hence increasing the resistance of conductivity.

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

The stored elastic energy of compressed spring

= 1 / 2 k X²

= .5 x 19.6 x (.20)²

= .392 J

b ) The stored potential energy will be converted into gravitational potential energy of the block earth system when the block will ascend along the incline . So change in the gravitational potential energy will be same as stored elastic potential energy of the spring that is .392 J .

c ) Let h be the distance along the incline which the block ascends.

vertical height attained ( H ) =h sin30

= .5 h

elastic potential energy = gravitational energy

.392 = mg H

.392 = 2 x 9.8 x .5 h

h = .04 m
