Use the law of universal gravitation, which says the force of gravitation between two bodies of mass <em>m</em>₁ and <em>m</em>₂ a distance <em>r</em> apart is

<em>F</em> = <em>G m</em>₁ <em>m</em>₂ / <em>r</em>²

where <em>G</em> = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg².

The Earth has a radius of about 6371 km = 6.371 x 10⁶ m (large enough for a pineapple on the surface of the earth to have an effective distance from the center of the Earth to be equal to this radius), and a mass of about 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg, so the force of gravitation between the pineapple and the Earth is

<em>F</em> = (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg²) (1 kg) (5.97 x 10²⁴ kg) / (6.371 x 10⁶ m)²

<em>F</em> ≈ 9.81 N

Notice that this is roughly equal to the weight of the pineapple on Earth, (1 kg)<em>g</em>, where <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity, so that [force of gravity] = [weight] on any given planet.

This means that on this new planet with twice the radius of Earth, the pineapple would have a weight of

<em>F</em> = <em>G m</em>₁ <em>m</em>₂ / (2<em>r</em>)² = 1/4 <em>G m</em>₁ <em>m</em>₂ / <em>r</em>²

i.e. 1/4 of the weight on Earth, which would be about 2.45 N.

If you could shine a very powerful flashlight beam toward the Moon, estimate the diameter of the beam when it reaches the Moon.
grin007 [14]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the Rayleigh Criterion (Angular resolution)criterion. This conceptos describes the ability of any image-forming device such as an optical or radio telescope, a microscope, a camera, or an eye, to distinguish small details of an object, thereby making it a major determinant of image resolution.  By definition is defined as:

\theta = 1.22\frac{\lambda}{d}

Where,

\lambda= Wavelength

d = Width of the slit

\theta= Angular resolution

Through the arc length we can find the radius, which would be given according to the length and angle previously described.

The radius of the beam on the moon is

r = l\theta

Relacing \theta

r = l(\frac{1.22\lambda}{d})

r = 1.22\frac{l\lambda}{d}

Replacing with our values we have that,

r = 1.22*(\frac{(384*10^3km)(\frac{1000m}{1km})(550*10^{-9}m)}{7*10^{{-2}}})

r = 3680.91m

Therefore the diameter of the beam on the moon is

d = 2r

d = 2 * (3690.91)

d = 7361.8285m

Hence, the diameter of the beam when it reaches the moon is 7361.82m

7. Why does increasing the mass of an egg increase the chance that it will be damaged in a drop?​
12345 [234]
Because if you increase the surface area of such a fragile object there is more space and in turn more of a chance for the object (in this case the egg) to be damaged.

The plane of a rectangular coil, 7.2 cm by 3.7 cm, is perpendicular to the direction of a uniform magnetic field B. If the coil
netineya [11]

Answer:

The rate of change of magnetic field is 2.23 T/s.              

Explanation:

Given that,

Dimension of rectangular coil is 7.2 cm by 3.7 cm.

Number of turns in the coil, N = 104

Resistance of the coil, R = 12.4 ohms

Current, I = 0.05 A

We need to find the rate of change of magnetic field in the coil. The induced emf is given by the rate of change of magnetic flux. So,

\epsilon=-\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}

Ohm's law is :

\epsilon=IR

So,

IR=-\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}\\\\IR=-\dfrac{d(NBA)}{dt}\\\\IR=-NA\dfrac{dB}{dt}\\\\\dfrac{dB}{dt}=\dfrac{IR}{NA}\\\\\dfrac{dB}{dt}=\dfrac{0.05\times 12.4}{104\times 7.2\times 10^{-2}\times 3.7\times 10^{-2}}\\\\\dfrac{dB}{dt}=2.23\ T/s

So, the rate of change of magnetic field is 2.23 T/s.
