I need to choose a theme for my physics assignment My experiment is finding g

Kobotan [32]

<h3>Question:</h3>

How to find g (acceleration due to gravity)

<h3>Solution:</h3>

We know,

Acceleration due to gravity (g)

$= \frac{GM}{ {R}^{2} }$

where, G = Gravitational constant

$= 6.67 \times {10}^{11} N {m}^{2}/k {g}^{2} \\$

M = Mass of the earth

$= 6 \times {10}^{24} \: kg$

R = Radius of the earth

$= 6.4 \times {10}^{6} m$

Putting these values of G, M and R in the above formula, we get

$g \: = \: \frac{6.67 \times {10}^{11} N {m}^{2}/k {g}^{2} \times \: 6 \times {10}^{24} \: kg }{(6.4 \times {10}^{6}m {)}^{2} } \\ = 9.8m/ {s}^{2}$

So, the value of acceleration due to gravity is

$9.8m/s ^{2}$

Hope it helps.

El coeficiente de variación de la resistencia con la temperatura del carbón es -0.0005/°c.Si la resistencia de una resistencia d

Doss [256]

Answer:

R (120) = 940Ω

Explanation:

The variation in resistance with temperature is linear in metals

ΔR (T) = R₀ α ΔT

where α is the coefficient of variation of resistance with temperature, in this case α = -0,0005 / ºC

let's calculate

ΔR = 1000 (-0,0005) (120-0)

ΔR = -60 Ω

ΔR = R (120) + R (0) = -60

R (120) = -60 + R (0)

R (120) = -60 + 1000

R (120) = 940Ω

A convex mirror, like the passenger-side rearview mirror on a car, has a focal length of -3.0 m . An object is 6.0 m from the mi

Artist 52 [7]

A) -2.0 m

Look at the ray diagram attached in the picture, where:

p identifies the location of the object

q identifies the location of the image

F identifies the focus of the mirror

Each tick represents 1 m

We have

p = 6.0 m is the distance of the object from the mirror

f = -3.0 m is the focal length

From the ray diagram, we see that q has a distance of 2.0 m from the mirror, and it's on the other side of the mirror compared to the object, so

q = -2.0 m

This can also be verified by using the mirror equation:

$\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{p}=\frac{1}{-3.0 m}-\frac{1}{6.0 m}=-\frac{3}{6.0 cm}\\q = \frac{-6.0 cm}{3}=-2.0 cm$

B) Upright and virtual

As we see from the picture, the image is upright, since it has same orientation as the object.

Also, we notice that the image is on the other side of the mirror, compared to the object. For a mirror,

- An image is said to be real if it is on the same side of the object

- An image is said to be virtual if it is on the opposite side of the mirror

Therefore, this means that the image is virtual.

How many neutrons does element X have if its atomic number is 23 and its mass number is 90?

givi [52]

Answer:

Explanation:

- The atomic number (Z) of an atom is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus

- The mass number (A) of an atom is equal to the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus

Therefore, calling p the number of protons and n the number of neutrons, for element X we have:

Z = p = 23

A = p + n = 90

Substituting p=23 into the second equation, we find the number of neutrons:

n = 90 - p = 90 - 23 = 67
