Aristotle (who made quite a lot of observations about the spherical nature of the Earth) noticed that during lunar eclipses (when the Earth orbits places it directly between the sun and the moon, creating a shadow in the process), the shadow on the Moon's surface is round.

It is a conglomeration of rock that collected together over time, and it rotating in a spinning ball that is orbiting a sun that is in the middle of our solar system.

You should look at a picture of the earth from a satellite.<span />

What is the current in a 160V circuit if the resistance is 2Ω? V= I= R =

sveta [45]

Answer:

80 amperes

Explanation:

Current in the circuit = ?

Voltage in the circuit = 160 Volts

Resistance = 2 Ω

Voltage = Current x Resistance

V = IR

160V = I x 2 Ω

I = 160V / 2 Ω

I = 80 Amperes

Therefore the current in the circuit is 80 amperes :)

A water pump pumps 3 kg of water every second from the bottom of a well to the top of the well 50 m above if the pump used 2000

vesna_86 [32]

watts = work per second.

work is mgh = 3x10x50=1500

watts out = 1500

Watts used = 2000

eff=1500/2000=75%

21. A 60 kg student on a scooter is pushed with a constant force of 40 N across a horizontal concrete driveway at a constant spe

DedPeter [7]

The magnitude of the force of friction is 40 N

Explanation:

To solve the problem, we just have to analyze the forces acting on the student and the scooter along the horizontal direction. We have:

- The constant pushing force forward, of magnitude F = 40 N

- The frictional force, acting backward, $F_f$

Since the two forces are in opposite direction, the equation of motion is

$F-F_f = ma$

where

m is the mass of the student+scooter

a is the acceleration

However, here the scooter is moving at constant speed: this means that its acceleration is zero, so

a = 0

And therefore,

$F - F_f = 0\\F_f = F$

which means that the magnitude of the force of friction is also equal to 40 N.

An oil slick on water is 120 nm thick and illuminated by white light incident perpendicular to its surface. What color does the

gregori [183]

Answer:

$\lambda = 672 nm$

so this is nearly red colour light

Explanation:

As we know that the interference of light from reflected light then the path difference is given as

$\Delta x = 2\mu t + \frac{\lambda}{2}$

now we know that for constructive interference of light the path difference is given as

$\Delta x = n\lambda$

so we will have

$2\mu t + \frac{\lambda}{2} = N\lambda$

so we will have

$4\mu t = \lambda$

$\lambda = 2(1.40)(120nm)$

$\lambda = 672 nm$

so this is nearly red colour light

A positively charged metal sphere, A, is held close to but not touching and identical uncharged sphere, sphere B. Sphere A is no

Yuri [45]

Answer:

The sphere C carries no net charge.

Explanation:

When brougth close to the charged sphere A, as charges can move freely in a conductor, a charge equal and opposite to the one on the sphere A, appears on the sphere B surface facing to the sphere A.
As sphere B must remain neutral (due to the principle of conservation of charge) an equal charge, but of opposite sign, goes to the surface also, on the opposite part of the sphere.
If sphere A is removed, a charge movement happens in the sphere B, in such a way, that no net charge remains on the surface.
If in such state, if the sphere B (assumed again uncharged completely, without any local charges on the surface), is touched by an initially uncharged sphere C, due to the conservation of charge principle, no net charge can be built on sphere C.
