Answer:

It becomes wider

Explanation:

Because The bigger the object the wave interacts with, the more spread there is in the interference pattern. Decreasing the size of the opening increases the spread in the pattern.

What is the relation between acceleration due to gravity and radius of the earth? ​
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

As the earth is an oblate spheroid, its radius near the equator is more than its radius near poles. Since for a source mass, the acceleration due to gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the radius of the earth, it varies with latitude due to the shape of the earth.

Formula: g = GM/r2

Dimensional Formula: M0L1T-2

Values of g in SI: 9.806 ms-2

Answer these questions about a light year.?
aliina [53]

These are five questions and five answers:

a. State the speed in m/sec using scientific notation

i) Find the place value of the digit with the highest place value (the digit most to the left) in the number 300,000,000: hundred millions.

ii) Determine the number of zeros corresponding to that place value: 9

ii) Write the digit with the highest place value, mulitplied by the power of ten with exponent equal to the number of zeros corresponding to the place of such digit less 1 (9 - 1 = 8): 3 × 10⁸

iii) Complete with the units: 3 × 10⁸ m/s ← answer

b. State the speed in km/sec using scientific notation

i) State the conversion factor: 1 km = 1000 m = 10³ m

⇒ 1 = 1 km / 10³ m

ii) Multiply by the conversion factor:

3 × 10⁸ m/s × 1 km / (10³ m)

iii) Simplify (cancel the units that are common in the numerator and denominator)

3 × (10⁸ / 10³) km/s = 3 × 10⁵ km/s ← answer

c. State the number of seconds in one year using scientific notation

i) Find the place value of the digit with the highest place value (the digit most to the left) in the number 32,000,000: ten millions.

ii) Determine the number of zeros corresponding to that place value: 8

ii) Write the digit with the highest place value, as integer, add the other significant figures as decimals, mulitplied by the power of ten with exponent equal to the number of zeros corresponding to the place of the digit with highest place value less 1 (8 - 1 = 7): 3.2 × 10⁷

iii) Complete with the units: 3.2 × 10⁷ s ← answer

d. Calculate the distance in meters of one light year

i) distance formula: distance = speed × time

ii) Replace with the numbers in scientific notation:

distance = 3 × 10⁸ m/s × 3.2 × 10⁷ s

iii) Simplify (due the operations and cancel the units that are common in the numerator and denominator)

3 × 10⁸ m/s × 3.2 × 10⁷ s = 9.6 × 10 ¹⁵ m ← answer

e. State this distance in centimeters

i) State the conversion factor: 1m = 100 cm = 10² cm

⇒ 1 = 10² cm / 1 m

ii) Multiply by the conversion factor: 9.6 × 10 ¹⁵ m × 10² cm / 1 m

iii) Simplily: 9.6 × 10⁷ cm ← answer

A child is sledding. He starts at the top of the hill with a velocity of zero, and 3 seconds later he is speeding down the hill
Flauer [41]

Magnitude of acceleration = (change of speed) / (time for the change) =

                                             (12 m/s  -  0)   /   (3 sec)  =

                                               12/3  =  <em>4 m/s²</em>

What's a challenge question ?  Have we all passed the event horizon
and been spaghettified without knowing it ?

Suppose you were hanging in empty space at rest, far from the Earth, but at the same distance from the Sun as the Earth. What mi
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

V = 42187 m/s = 42.18 km/s

Explanation:

given data:

mass of sun is  = 2\times 10^{30} kg

radius of earth orbit is 1.5\times 10^{11} m

minimum speed can be determined by using following formula

V = (\frac{2gM}{r}))^{1/2}

where G is \times 10^{-11}

Plugging all value to get desired value

V  =(\frac{2\times 6.674 \times 10^{-11}2\times 10^{30}}{1.5\times 10^{11}})^{1/2}

V = 42187 m/s = 42.18 km/s
