Refer to the figure below.
R = resistance.

Case 1:
The voltage source is V₁ and the current is 10 mA. Therefore
V₁ = (10 mA)R

Case 2:
The voltage source is V₂ and the current is 8 mA. Therefore
V₂ = (8 mA)R

Case 3:
The voltage across the resistance is V₁ - V₂. Therefore the current I is given by
V₁ - V₂ = IR
10R - 8R = (I mA)R
2 = I
The current is 2 mA.

Answer: 2 mA

When the distance between two masses is doubled, the gravitational attraction between
mrs_skeptik [129]

The new gravitational attraction will be 1/4 as much

Explanation:

The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is given by

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where

G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2} is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between them

In this problem, the original force between the two objects is F, when they are separated by a distance r.

Later, the distance between the two objects is doubled, so the new distance is

r'=2r

Therefore, the new force will be

F'=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{(2r)^2}=\frac{1}{4}(\frac{Gm_1 m_2}{r^2})=\frac{F}{4}

Therefore, the new force will be one-fourth as much.

How did Orsted discover Electromagnetism?
Liula [17]

Answer:

Hans Christian Oersted began a new scientific epoch when he discovered that electricity and magnetism are linked. He showed by experiment that an electric current flowing through a wire could move a nearby magnet. The discovery of electromagnetism set the stage for the eventual development of our modern technology-based world.

A planet is discovered orbiting around a star in the galaxy Andromeda at four times the distance from the star as Earth is from
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Tp/Te = 2

Therefore, the orbital period of the planet is twice that of the earth's orbital period.

Explanation:

The orbital period of a planet around a star can be expressed mathematically as;

T = 2π√(r^3)/(Gm)

Where;

r = radius of orbit

G = gravitational constant

m = mass of the star

Given;

Let R represent radius of earth orbit and r the radius of planet orbit,

Let M represent the mass of sun and m the mass of the star.

r = 4R

m = 16M

For earth;

Te = 2π√(R^3)/(GM)

For planet;

Tp = 2π√(r^3)/(Gm)

Substituting the given values;

Tp = 2π√((4R)^3)/(16GM) = 2π√(64R^3)/(16GM)

Tp = 2π√(4R^3)/(GM)

Tp = 2 × 2π√(R^3)/(GM)

So,

Tp/Te = (2 × 2π√(R^3)/(GM))/( 2π√(R^3)/(GM))

Tp/Te = 2

Therefore, the orbital period of the planet is twice that of the earth's orbital period.

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

\frac{F}{W} = 9.37 \times 10^{-4}

Explanation:

Radius of the pollen is given as

r = 12.0 \mu m

Volume of the pollen is given as

V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

V = \frac{4}{3}\pi (12\mu m)^3

V = 7.24 \times 10^{-15} m^3

mass of the pollen is given as

m = \rho V

m = 7.24 \times 10^{-12}

so weight of the pollen is given as

W = mg

W = (7.24 \times 10^{-12})(9.81)

W = 7.1 \times 10^{-11}

Now electric force on the pollen is given

F = qE

F = (-0.700\times 10^{-15})(95)

F = 6.65 \times 10^{-14} N

now ratio of electric force and weight is given as

\frac{F}{W} = \frac{6.65 \times 10^{-14}}{7.1 \times 10^{-11}}

\frac{F}{W} = 9.37 \times 10^{-4}
