Answer:

travels along a curve due to uniform gravity

Explanation:

General relativity

The theory was developed by Albert Einstein , it is the theory of gravitation , according to which , the gravitation effect which is observed between the masses , is the resultant of their warping of the space time .

In general relativity , the equivalence principle is the equivalence of inertial gravitational mass .

According to which , the light bends due to gravitational forces ,therefore , the light travels along a curve because of uniform gravity .

High-speed stroboscopic photographs show that the head of a 210-g golf club is traveling at 56 m/s just before it strikes a 46-g

tamaranim1 [39]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of golf club, m₁ = 210 g = 0.21 kg

Initial velocity of golf club, u₁ = 56 m/s

Mass of another golf ball which is at rest, m₂ = 46 g = 0.046 kg

After the collision, the club head travels (in the same direction) at 42 m/s. We need to find the speed of the golf ball just after impact. Let it is v.

Initial momentum of golf ball, $p_i=m_1u_1=0.21\ kg\times 56\ m/s=11.76\ kg-m/s$

After the collision, final momentum $p_f=0.21\ kg\times 42\ m/s+0.046v$

Using the conservation of momentum as :

$p_i=p_f$

$11.76\ kg-m/s=0.21\ kg\times 42\ m/s+0.046v$

v = 63.91 m/s

So, the speed of the golf ball just after impact is 63.91 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A uniform magnetic field passes through a horizontal circular wire loop at an angle 15.1° from the normal to the plane of the lo

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

0.5849Weber

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the magnetic flus is expressed as:

$\phi = BAcos \theta$

Given

The magnitude of the magnetic field B = 3.35T

Area of the loop = πr² = 3.14(0.24)² = 0.180864m²

angle of the wire loop θ = 15.1°

Substitute the given values into the formula:

$\phi = 3.35(0.180864)cos15.1^0\\\phi =0.6058944cos15.1^0\\\phi =0.6058944(0.9655)\\\phi = 0.5849Wb$

Hence the magnetic flux Φ through the loop is 0.5849Weber

Suppose a tank filled with water has a liquid column with a height of 10 meters. If the area is 2 square meters (2 m²), what's t

Vesna [10]

Answer:

196000 N

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Height (h) = 10 m

Area (A) = 2 m²

Force (F) =.?

Next, we shall determine the pressure in the tank.

This can be obtained as follow:

P = dgh

Where

P is the pressure.

d is the density of the liquid.

g is acceleration due to gravity

h is the height.

Height (h) = 10 m

Density (d) of water = 1000 kg/m³

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Pressure (P) =...?

P = dgh

P = 1000 × 9.8 × 10

P = 98000 N/m²

Therefore, the pressure acting on the tank is 98000 N/m²

Finally, we shall determine the force of gravity acting on the column of water as follow:

Area (A) = 2 m²

Pressure (P) = 98000 N/m²

Force (F) =.?

Pressure (P) = Force (F) /Area (A)

P = F /A

98000 = F/ 2

Cross multiply

F = 98000 × 2

F = 196000 N

Therefore, the force of gravity acting on the column of water is 196000 N

Answer:

The time it would take the beef to reach a temperature of 0⁰C is t= 662 sec = 11.93 min

The time it would take to heat the beef to uniform temperature of 80⁰C is

t = 365 sec =5.93 min

Efficient absorption of Microwave power is in regions of liquid water . Hence if the food or the microwave irradiation is not uniform, the power will be absorbed non-uniformly, resulting in a non-uniform temperature rise. Defrost region will absorb more energy per unit volume than frozen region.if food is of low thermal conductivity, there will be insufficient time for heat conduction to make the temperature more uniform.Use of low power allows more time for conduction to occur.
