An astronaut takes an iPod onto the space shuttle. An identical iPod remains on Earth. Which statement about the pull of Earth's

gravity on the iPods is true?
 A.Earth's gravity has a stronger pull on the iPod when it is on Earth than when it is in space. B.Earth's gravity has a weaker pull on the iPod when it is on Earth than when it is in space. C.The pull of Earth's gravity is the same on both iPods because they have the same mass. D.The pull of Earth's gravity is the same on both iPods because they are identical.

Choice-A is the true statement, simply because the gravitational forces between two objects get weaker when the objects get farther apart.

If the star Sirius emits 23 times more energy than the Sun, why does the Sun appear brighter in the sky?
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

As b ∝ (L/r²) and

the distance of the sun from the earth is 0.00001581 light years

and

the distance of the Sirius from the earth is 8.6 light years

hence,

the Sun appear brighter in the sky

Explanation:

The brightness (b) is directly proportional to the Luminosity of the star (L) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the star and the observer (r).

thus, mathematically,

b ∝ (L/r²)

now,

given

L for sirius is 23 times more than the sun i.e 23L

now,

the distance of the sun from the earth is 0.00001581 light years

and

the distance of the Sirius from the earth is 8.6 light years

thus,

using the the relation between conclude that the value of brightness for the Sirius comes very very low as compared to the value for brightness for the Sun.

hence, the sun appears brighter

An infinite sheet of charge, oriented perpendicular to the x-axis, passes through x = 0. It has a surface charge density σ1 = -2
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

E_{total}=4.82*10^6N/C

vector with direction equal to the axis X.

Explanation:

We use the Gauss Law and the superposition law in order to solve this problem.

<u>Superposition Law:</u> the Total Electric field is the sum of the electric field of the first infinite sheet and the Electric field of the second infinite sheet:

E_{total}=E_1+E_2

<u>Thanks Gauss Law</u> we know that the electric field of a infinite sheet with density of charge σ is:

E=\sigma/(2\epsilon_o)

Then:

E_{total}=(\sigma_1+\sigma_2)/(2\epsilon_o)=(-2.7*10^{-6}+88*10^{-6})/(2*8.85*10^{-12})=4.82*10^6N/C

This electric field has a direction in the axis perpendicular to the sheets, that means it has the same direction as the axis X.

After you enlarge a map, which one of the following scale remains correct?
9966 [12]

Answer:

None

Explanation:

An scale is the factor by which actual features on ground are enlarged or reduced for representing on a plane. There are different kinds of scales:

  • Verbal scale use of words to represent scale information on the map.  The distance or linear units are used for depicting this scale on the map.  For example: 1 inch = 1 Kilo meter.
  • Fractional scale uses the numbers or values for showing the scale instead of words. As the name says, it is represented using a fraction or ratio.  Example: 1: 10,000 or 1/10,000
  • In large scale more details are shown in a map, however, less area coverage will be shown in a single map as the scale is large and more details are given.  Example: 1:500
  • Small scale is exactly opposite to the large scale, less details are shown as magnification is not enough, however a large amount of area can be shown in a single map.  Example: 1:25,000
  • A graphic scale is a bar that has been calibrated to show map distances. On maps that have been reduced or enlarged the original ratio and written scales are incorrect, since the relationship between map distance and real world distance has been altered, graphic scale is enlarged or reduced to the same extent as the map, this makes it the right option.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
