Answer:

B. Weight

Explanation:

If you look at my crude drawing of two bodies attracted by each other (hey that's gravity, not love!) and to Newton's law of gravity:

F_{1} =F_{2} =G\frac{m_{1} m_{2} }{r^{2} }

For this to work we have to assume that the Forces are equal and the whole system is in equilibrium.

Now if we take a look at the picture, r is the distance between the two bodies, G is the gravitational constant, and m is the mass either of body 1 or 2, so, if we increase the distance, the force of gravity will decrease by the square root of that unit, because it is the denominator of the fraction.

Now emphasis on "Force of Gravity" Force is the only factor inversely proportionate to the square root of the distance, and the only answer that is actually a Force from the options is weight (m*g).

Who pioneered the use of galvanoplastic compounds for preserving footprints and ballistics?
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

Option D (Alphonse Bertillon) is the correct response.

Explanation:

  • He seems to have been a policeman turned biometrics expert from France. Forensic techniques such as forensic record analysis were developed by Bertillon.
  • To retain proof, he always pioneered or developed the use of such galvanoplastic compounds as molds for footsteps as well as ballistics. To research physical changes with age, Bertillon has developed a method focused on images of almost the same person’s performance.

All those other choices weren’t connected to the instance offered. So, the best one is the one described.

The length of the minute hand of the clock is 14cm. Calculate the speed with which the tip of the minute hand moves
Molodets [167]

Speed of the tip of the minute hand=V=0.0244 cm/s

Explanation:

The angular velocity of the minute hand is given by

\omega= \frac{2\pi}{T}

T= time period of the minute hand=60 min=3600 s

so ω= 2 π/3600 rad/s

Now linear velocity v= r ω

r= radius of minute hand=14 cm

so v= 14 (2 π/3600)

V=0.0244 cm/s

A solid non-conducting sphere of radius R carries a charge Q distributed uniformly throughout its volume. At a radius r (r <
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:  

Hence the answer is E inside = KQr_{1} /R^{3}.

Explanation:  

E inside = KQr_{1} /R^{3}  

so if r1 will be the same then  

E  \begin{bmatrix}Blank Equation\end{bmatrix} proportional to 1/R3  

so if R become 2R  

E becomes 1/8 of the initial electric field.
