Answer:

The correct option is;

The acceleration remains constant

Explanation:

The acceleration is due to the force of gravitational attraction between the text book and the Earth

According to Newton's law of gravitation, there is an attractive force between all objects given by the following relation;

F = G×M₁×m₂/r²

Where;

G, M₁, m₂, and r are constant such that we have;

G×M₁/r² = Constant = The acceleraton due to gravity, g

F = g×m₂

So the acceleration of the textbook as it is being attracted by the force of gravity towards the ground (Earth) is remains constant.

A point charge of 4 µC is located at the center of a sphere with a radius of 25 cm. Find the electric flux through the surface o
givi [52]

Answer:

Ф = 4.5176x10⁵ N . m² / C

Explanation:

In this case, we need to use two expressions in order to calculate the electric flux of the sphere.

First the Electric flux is calculated using this expression:

Ф = E * A  (1)

Where:

E: Electric field

A: Area of the sphere

To get the electric field E, we use this expression:

E = K * q / r²    (2)

If we replace (2) into (1) we have the following:

Ф = K * q * A / r²    (3)

Finally, we need to know the expression to get the area of a sphere which is the following:

A = 4πr²   (4)

Replacing into (3):}

Ф = K * Q * 4πr² / r²       discarting r²:

Ф = K * Q * 4π   (5)

Now, all we need to do is replace the given values and solve for the electric flux of the sphere:

Ф = 8.98755x10⁹ * 4x10⁻⁶ * 4 * π

<h2>Ф = 4.5176x10⁵ N . m² / C</h2>

Hope this helps

Two resistors of resistances R1 and R2, with R2&gt;R1, are connected to a voltage source with voltage V0. When the resistors are
Contact [7]

Answer:

r=0.127

Explanation:

When  connected in series

Current = I

When connected in parallel

Current = 10 I

We know that equivalent resistance

In series  R = R₁+R₂

in parallel  R= R₁R₂/(R₂+ R₁)

Given that voltage is constant (Vo)

V = I R

Vo = I (R₁+R₂)  ------------1

Vo = 10 I (R₁R₂/(R₂+ R₁)) -------2

From above equations

10 I (R₁R₂/(R₂+ R₁)) = I (R₁+R₂)  

10  R₁R₂ =  (R₁+R₂) (R₂+ R₁)

10  R₁R₂  = 2  R₁R₂  + R₁² + R₂²

8 R₁R₂  =     R₁² + R₂²

Given that

r =  R₁/R₂

Divides by R₂²

8R₁/R₂  = ( R₁/R₂)²+ 1

8 r = r ² + 1

r ² - 8 r+ 1 =0  

r= 0.127 and r= 7.87

But given that R₂>R₁  It means that r<1 only.

So the answer is r=0.127

Imagine a skinny straw in the water, standing right over the hole. The WEIGHT of the water in that straw is the force on the tape. Now, the volume of water in the straw is (1 mm^2) times (20 cm). Once you have the volume, you can use the density and gravity to find the weight. And THAT's the force on the tape. If the tape can't hold that force, then it peels off and the water runs out through the hole. /// This is a pretty hard problem, because it involved mm^2, cm, and m^3. You have to be very very very careful with your units as you work through this one. If you've been struggling with it, I'm almost sure the problem is the units.
