Answer:

Explanation:

1. A solenoid is a coil which has many turns. When current flows through a solenoid, it behaves as an electromagnet. This behavior is due to the magnetic effect of an electric current thereby causing one end of the solenoid to behave as a north pole, while the other end as a south pole.The external influence of the earth's magnetism constrains the solenoid to come to rest in a N-S position just like a bar magnet.

2. The magnetic compass can be used to trace the alignments or patterns of the magnetic field around a current carrying wire. When current flows in a wire, it induces magnetic field around it. If the value of current is increased, the strength of the magnetic field would increase and vice versa. This shows that current is proportional to the strength of the magnetic field produced around the wire. Thus this causes a deflection of the compass appropriately, as the deflection of the compass is proportional to the strength of the field.

Myopia

Explanation:

myopia is a common vision condition in which you can see objects near to you clearly, but objects farther away are blurry. It occurs when the shape of your eye causes light rays to refract incorrectly, focusing images in front of your retina instead of on your retina. It can be corrected corrected with eyeglasses, contact lenses or refractive surgery.

Answer:

4 m/ $s^{2}$

Explanation:

From Equilibrium of forces, The Tension in string is cancelled by the Weight (product of mass and acceleration due to gravity) of the body acting downwards.

The Net force = Mass * Acceleration.

Since Net Force = 20 Newton, Mass = 5kg, therefore;

20 = 5kg * acceleration. Dividing the RHS and LHS of the equation by 5, we have;

Acceleration = $\frac{20}{5}$ which gives 4.

Note: RHS means Right Hand Side.

LHS means Left Hand Side.

An alien spaceship traveling at 0.600 c toward the Earth launches a landing craft. The landing craft travels in the same directi

The kinetic energy as measured in the Earth reference frame is 6.704*10^22 Joules.

To find the answer, we have to know about the Lorentz transformation.

<h3>What is its kinetic energy as measured in the Earth reference frame?</h3>

It is given that, an alien spaceship traveling at 0.600 c toward the Earth, in the same direction the landing craft travels with a speed of 0.800 c relative to the mother ship. We have to find the kinetic energy as measured in the Earth reference frame, if the landing craft has a mass of 4.00 × 10⁵ kg.

$V_x'=0.8c\\V=0.6c\\m=4*10^5kg$

Let us consider the earth as S frame and space craft as S' frame, then the expression for KE will be,

$KE=m_0c^2=\frac{mc^2}{1-(\frac{v_x^2}{c^2} )}$

So, to $V_x=(0.8+0.6)c-[\frac{0.6c*(0.8c)^2}{c^2}]=1.016$ find the KE, we have to find the value of speed of the approaching landing craft with respect to the earth frame.
We have an expression from Lorents transformation for relativistic law of addition of velocities as,
