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 .

Mama L [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Radius of dee, r = 8 mm = 0.008 m

Electric field, e = 400 V/m

Magnetic field, B = 4.7 x 10^-4 T

mass of electron, m = 9.1 x 10^-31 kg

charge of electron, q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

(a) Let v is the speed of electrons.

$v = \frac{Bqr}{m}$

$v = \frac{4.7\times 10^{-4}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 0.008}{9.1 \times 10^{-31}}$

v = 661098.9 = 661099 m/s

(b)

$\frac{e}{m}=\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}$

e / m = 1.76 x 10^14 C / kg

K = 0.5 x mv²

K = 0.5 x 9.1 x 10^-31 x 661099 x 661099

K = 1.99 x 10^-19 J

K = 1.24 eV

So, the potential difference is

V = 1.24 V

(d) if the acceleration voltage is doubled

V = 2 x 1.24 = 2.48 V

So, Kinetic energy

K = 2.48 eV

K = 2.48 x 1.6 x 10^-19 = 3.968 x 10^-19 J

Let v is the speed

K = 0.5 x mv²

3.968 x 10^-19 = 0.5 x 9.1 x 10^-31 x v²

v = 933856.5 m/s

Let the new radius is r.

$r=\frac{mv}{Bq}$

$r=\frac{9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 933856.5}{4.7\times 10^{-4}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}$

r = 0.0113 m = 1.13 cm

When you apply a horizontal force of 76 N to a block, the block moves across the floor at a constant speed ().When you apply a f

elena-s [515]

Answer:

Explanation:

When we apply a horizontal force of 76 N to a block, the block moves across the floor at a constant speed. So net force on the block is zero .

It implies that a force ( frictional ) acts on it which is equal to 76 N in opposite direction ( friction )

When we apply a greater force on it it starts moving with acceleration .

This time kinetic friction acts on it due to rough ground equal to 76 N .This is limiting friction ( maximum friction )

Net force on the body in later case

= 89 - 76

= 13 N

Force by ground on the block in horizontal direction = 76 N ( FRICTIONAL FORCE )

A B C D Plz help me.

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

The correct option is;

${}$ Man doing most work ${}$ Box gaining the most energy

D ${}$ Y Q

Explanation:

The given parameters of the question are;

The distance the box P is pushed by the Man X = 0

The force the Man X applies to the box P = x N

The distance the box Q is lifted by the Man Y = h > 0 meters

The minimum force the Man Y applies to the box Q = W, the weight of the box

Work done = Force × Distance

Energy gained = Potential energy + Kinetic Energy = (Mass × Gravity × Height = Weight × Height = W × h) + 1/2 × Mass × Velocity²

The final velocity of either box = 0 m/s (The boxes are at rest on the ground or the shelf)

Therefore, Kinetic energy = 0 J

The work done by Man X = 0 × x = 0 J

The energy gained by the box P = W × 0 = 0 J

The work done by Man Y = W × h = W·h J

The energy gained by the box P = W × h = W·h J

We have, the work done by the man Y = W·h J is more than the work done by the man X = 0 J

The energy gained by the box P = W·h J is more than the energy gained by the box Q = 0 J

Therefore, the correct option is D, Man doing the most work is Y, box gaining the most energy is Q.
