Answer:

Increasing the masses of the objects and decreasing the distance between the objects.

Explanation:

Gravitational force always act between two objects that have mass. The gravitational force is a weak force and attractive in nature.

The force of pull depends on the masses of the two objects and the distance between them.

The formula to calculate gravitational force between two objects having masses 'm' and 'M' and separated by a distance 'd' is given as:

$F_g=\frac{GmM}{d^2}$

Where, 'G' is called the universal gravitational constant.

Now, from the above formula, it is clear that, the force of gravitation is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects and directly proportional to the masses of the two objects.

This means that, if masses increase with other parameters constant, force will increase and vice-versa. If distance decreases with other parameters constant, force will increase and vice-versa.

So, on combining the above two relations,we are certain that if one increases the masses and decrease the distance between, the gravitational force will definitely increase.

So, the third option is correct.

Answer:

see explanation below

Explanation:

Given that,

$T_1 =$ 500°C

$T_2$ = 25°C

d = 0.2m

L = 10mm = 0.01m

U₀ = 2m/s

Calculate average temperature

$\\T_{avg} = \frac{T_1 + T_2}{2} \\\\T_{avg} = \frac{500 + 25}{2} \\\\T_{avg} = 262.5$

262.5 + 273

= 535.5K

From properties of air table A-4 corresponding to $T_{avg}$ = 535.5K $\approx 550K$

k = 43.9 × 10⁻³W/m.k

v = 47.57 × 10⁻⁶ m²/s

$P_r = 0.63$

Number for the first strips is equal to

$R_e_x = \frac{u_o.L}{v}$

$R_e_x = \frac{2\times 0.01}{47.57 \times 10^-^6 }\\\\= 420.4$

Calculating heat transfer coefficient from the first strip

$h_1 = \frac{k}{L} \times 0.664 \times R_e_x^1^/^2 \times P_r^1^/^3$

$h_1 = \frac{43.9 \times 10^-^3}{0.01} \times 0.664\times420 \times 4^1^/^2 \times 0.683^1^/^3\\\\= 52.6W/km^2$

The rate of convection heat transfer from the first strip is

$q_1 = h_1\times(L\times d)\times(T_1 - T_2)\\\\q_1 = 52.6 \times (0.01\times0.2)\times(500-25)\\\\q_1 = 50W$

The rate of convection heat transfer from the fifth trip is equal to

$q_5 = (5 \times h_o_-_5-4\times h_o_-_4) \times(L\times d)\times (T_1 -T_2)$

$h_o_-_5 = \frac{k}{5L} \times 0.664 \times (\frac{u_o\times 5L}{v} )^1^/^2\times Pr^1^/^3\\\\= \frac{43.9\times10^-^3}{0.05} \times0.664\times (\frac{2 \times 0.05}{47.57 \times 10^-^6} )^1^/^2\times 0.683^1^/^3\\\\= 25.5W/Km^2$

Calculating $h_o_-_4$

$h_o_-_4 = \frac{k}{4L} \times 0.664 \times (\frac{u_o\times 4L}{v } )^1^/^2\times Pr^1^/^3\\\\= \frac{43.9\times10^-^3}{0.04} \times0.664\times (\frac{2 \times 0.04}{47.57 \times 10^-^6} )^1^/^2\times 0.683^1^/^3\\\\= 26.3W/Km^2$

The rate of convection heat transfer from the tenth strip is

$q_1_0 = (10 \times h_o_-_1_0-9\times h_o_-_9) \times(L\times d)\times (T_1 -T_2)$

$h_o_-_1_0 = \frac{k}{10L} \times 0.664 \times (\frac{u_o\times 10L}{v } )^1^/^2\times Pr^1^/^3\\\\= \frac{43.9\times10^-^3}{0.1} \times0.664\times (\frac{2 \times 0.1}{47.57 \times 10^-^6} )^1^/^2\times 0.683^1^/^3\\\\= 16.6W/Km^2$

Calculating

$h_o_-_9 = \frac{k}{9L} \times 0.664 \times (\frac{u_o\times 9L}{v } )^1^/^2\times Pr^1^/^3\\\\= \frac{43.9\times10^-^3}{0.09} \times0.664\times (\frac{2 \times 0.09}{47.57 \times 10^-^6} )^1^/^2\times 0.683^1^/^3\\\\= 17.5W/Km^2$

Calculating the rate of convection heat transfer from the tenth strip

$q_1_0 = (10 \times h_o_-_1_0-9\times h_o_-_9) \times(L\times d)\times (T_1 -T_2)\\\\q_1_0 = (10 \times 16.6 -9\times 17.5) \times(0.01\times 0.2)\times (500 -25)\\\\=8.1W$

The rate of convection heat transfer from 25th strip is equal to

$q_2_5 = (25 \times h_o_-_2_5-24\times h_o_-_2_4) \times(L\times d)\times (T_1 -T_2)$

Calculating $h_o_-_2_5$

$h_o_-_2_5 = \frac{k}{25L} \times 0.664 \times (\frac{u_o\times 25L}{v } )^1^/^2\times Pr^1^/^3\\\\= \frac{43.9\times10^-^3}{0.25} \times0.664\times (\frac{2 \times 0.25}{47.57 \times 10^-^6} )^1^/^2\times 0.683^1^/^3\\\\= 10.5W/Km^2$

Calculating $h_o_-_2_4$

$h_o_-_2_4 = \frac{k}{24L} \times 0.664 \times (\frac{u_o\times 24L}{v } )^1^/^2\times Pr^1^/^3\\\\= \frac{43.9\times10^-^3}{0.24} \times0.664\times (\frac{2 \times 0.24}{47.57 \times 10^-^6} )^1^/^2\times 0.683^1^/^3\\\\= 10.7W/Km^2$

Calculating the rate of convection heat transfer from the tenth strip

$q_2_5 = (25 \times h_o_-_2_5-24\times h_o_-_2_4) \times(L\times d)\times (T_1 -T_2)\\\\q_1_0 = (25 \times 10.5 -24\times 10.7) \times(0.01\times 0.2)\times (500 -25)\\\\=5.4W$

Examine the lightbulbs in the circuit below. Write a sentence explaining what would happen if lightbulb A burned out. Repeat thi

tatiyna

If the lightbulb A in the circuit shown in the image burned out, the path for the current to flow is disrupted because one of its terminals is connected direct to the source. So, there will be no current through the lightbulbs B, C, and D, and they will turn off. Similarly it will happen, if the lightbulb D burned out.

If the lightbulb B burned out the current will continue circulating through the lightbulbs A, C, and D, because lightbulb B is connected in parallel. Similarly it will happen, if the lightbulb C burned out.

Which type of light wave has the highest energy? which has the least amount of energy

devlian [24]

Answer:

Red has the lowest energy and violet the highest. Beyond red and violet are many other kinds of light our human eyes can't see, much like there are sounds our ears can't hear. On one end of the electromagnetic spectrum are radio waves, which have wavelengths billions of times longer than those of visible light.
