The weight of the body varies from place to place but the inertia of the body remains the same. Why?

Physics

Kipish [7]3 years ago
3 0

The weight changes from place to place as the weight is a vector quantity as well as a dependent quantity. Therefore, weight seems to be varying but the inertia is not.

<u>Explanation: </u>

The weight as already known well, is not a universal constant, whereas the mass is. As the weight is a product of mass of the body and the gravitational acceleration working on it, it varies as the factor of acceleration involved makes it a vector quantity.

And thus be dependent upon the direction too. Inertia of the body is an independent factor, on the other hand, an inherent property and so does not change.

Calculate the density of Saturn. Show your work. How does it compare with the density of water? Explain how this can be.
stepladder [879]

Answer:

The density of Saturn is 686.81 kg/m³.

Explanation:

Mass of Saturn,  m=5.68\times 10^{26}\ kg  

Volume of Saturn, V=8.27\times 10^{23}\ m^3

Density of Saturn is given by its mass divided by its volume i.e.

d=\dfrac{m}{V}

d=\dfrac{5.68\times 10^{26}}{8.27\times 10^{23}}

d=686.81\ kg/m^3

So, the density of Saturn is 686.81 kg/m³.

The density of water is 1000 kg/m³. It is clear that the density of Saturn is less than water.

Review. An electron moves in a circular path perpendicular to a constant magnetic field of magnitude 1.00 mT . The angular momen
Ghella [55]

The speed of an electron when it moves in a circular path perpendicular to a constant magnetic field is 8.88 x 10^7 m/s.

The angular momentum(L) of an electron moving in a circular path is given by the formula,

L = mvr ........(i)

We know that the radius of the path of an electron in a magnetic field is

r = mv/qB

Putting this value in equation (i),

L = mv x mv/qB

or L = (mv)^2/qB

Putting the given values in the above equation,

4 x 10^-25 = (9.1x10^-31)^2 x v^2/ 1.6 x 10^-19 x 1 x 10^-3

v comes out to be 8.88 x 10^7 m/s.

Hence, the speed of an electron when it moves in a circular path perpendicular to a constant magnetic field is 8.88 x 10^7 m/s.

In a vacuum the speed of light is 300000000 m/s. If light slows
madreJ [45]

Answer:

n = 1.5

Explanation:

The speed of light in vacuum is 300000000 m/s

The speed of light in glass is 200000000 m/s

We need to find the refractive index of the glass.

We know that, the ratio of speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in medium is equal to refractive index of the medium.

n=\dfrac{300000000 }{200000000 }\\\\=1.5

So, the refractive index of the glass is 1.5.
