Answer:

9ms^2

Explanation:

since ,Force=mass*acceleration

then, acceleration=force/mass

and, Force=90N

Mass=10pound

therefore, acceleration=90/10

=9ms^2

The atmosphere of Mercury and Mars are very thin. What effect does the thin atmosphere have on the temperature on the surface of

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Very hot during the day and very cold at night.

Explanation:

Due to the thin atmosphere, they have very hot climate during the day time and very cold climate at night. This happens because they contain very low amounts of greenhouse gases. These gases retain the heat at night. The atmosphere also prevents excessive light and UV rays from entering. The thin atmosphere leads to many asteroids and comets hitting the surface of the planet. On earth, these asteroids usually, burn up in the mesosphere layer of the atmosphere. These asteroid collisions cause massive fires. This in turn, causes the temperature to increase during the day. During the night time, massive fires cannot burn due to the low temperature because of the lack of greenhouse gases.

At what altitude above the earth's surface would the acceleration due to gravity be 4.9 m/s^2? Assume the mean radius of the ear

Mandarinka [93]

We apply the gravity calculation expressed in the formula: g=GM/r2
where G is the gravitational constant, m is the mass and r is the radius
r=√GM/g
(1) Radius = √6.674e-11*5.972e24/8 = 7058 kms Earth radius or surface of earth from center of earth= 6400 kmsSo r= 658 kms from surface of earth.
Gravity 8m/s2 will be at 658 kms from surface of earth.
(2) half gravity= 9.8/2= 4.9 m/s2 Radius=√6.674e-11*5.972e24/4.9 = 9019 kms Half Gravity will exist at 9019-6400= 2619 kms from surface of earth.

Ask Your Teacher In the air over a particular region at an altitude of 500 m above the ground, the electric field is 120 N/C dir

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

$1.475\times 10^{-13}\ C/m^3$

Explanation:

$\epsilon_0$ = Permittivity of free space = $8.85\times 10^{-12}\ F/m$

A = Area

h = Altitude = 600 m

Electric flux through the top would be

$-110A$ (negative as the electric field is going into the volume)

At the bottom

$120A$

Total flux through the volume

$\phi=120-110\\\Rightarrow \phi=10A$

Electric flux is given by

$\phi=\dfrac{q}{\epsilon_0}\\\Rightarrow q=\phi\epsilon_0\\\Rightarrow q=10A\epsilon_0$

Charge per volume is given by

$\rho=\dfrac{q}{v}\\\Rightarrow \rho=\dfrac{10A\epsilon_0}{Ah}\\\Rightarrow \rho=dfrac{10\epsilon_0}{h}\\\Rightarrow \rho=\dfrac{10\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}{600}\\\Rightarrow \rho=1.475\times 10^{-13}\ C/m^3$

The volume charge density is $1.475\times 10^{-13}\ C/m^3$

A simple harmonic oscillator completes 1550 cycles in 30 min. (a) Calculate the period. s (b) Calculate the frequency of the mot

nordsb [41]

Answer:

(a) 1.16 s

(b)0.861 Hz

Explanation:

(a) Period : The period of a simple harmonic motion is the time in seconds, required for a object undergoing oscillation to complete one cycle.

From the question,

If 1550 cycles is completed in (30×60) seconds,

1 cycle is completed in x seconds

x = 30×60/1550

x = 1.16 s

Hence the period is 1.16 seconds.

(b) Frequency : This can be defined as the number of cycles that is completed in one seconds, by an oscillating body. The S.I unit of frequency is Hertz (Hz).

Mathematically, Frequency is given as

F = 1/T ........................... Equation 1

Where F = frequency, T = period.

Given: T = 1.16 s.

Substitute into equation 1

F = 1/1.16

F = 0.862 Hz

Hence thee frequency = 0.862 Hz
