Write a responding to the prompt.What role does mass play in gravitational forces

Physics
1 answer:
suter [353]4 years ago
5 0
Gravity is the attraction between two objects that have mass. The amount of gravity is directly proportional to the amount of mass of the objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects. Gravity is a force that increases the velocity of falling objects - they accelerate.

What is the difference between virtual images produced by concave, plane, and convex mirrors?
julsineya [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

A concave mirror is a curved mirror that is coated outwards. The outer part of the mirror is always coated. The nature of image formed by an object placed in front of a concave mirror can be real or virtual depending on the distance of the object on the axis from the mirror. The only time the object produces a virtual image is when it is placed between the focus and the pole of the mirror. The virtual image formed is a "MAGNIFIED and upright image"

For a convex mirror, the inner part is always coated and the nature of the image formed by the object doesn't depend on the distance between the image and the mirror. No matter where the object is placed, the image formed will always be virtual, upright and DIMINISHED. This means that magnification is always less than 1.

For a plane mirror, the nature of the image produced by a plane mirror also virtual because it is always formed behind the mirror. The size of the image formed is always THE SAME as that of the object. This means that the magnification is always equal to 1.

a) In summary, the difference between virtual images produced by concave, plane, and convex mirrors is that virtual images produced by concave mirror are MAGNIFIED, virtual images produced by plane mirror are THE SAME SIZE as that of the object and virtual images produced by convex mirrors are always DIMINISHED.

b) Magnification is defined as the ratio of the image distance to the object distance. Mag = v/u

Note that object distances are always positive, hence it is only the image distance that can either be positive or negative which in turn affects the magnification causing it to be positive or negative.

Negative image distance shows that the image is virtual while positive image distance shows that the image is real.

A negative magnification therefore shows that the nature of the image is a virtual image.

The magnitude of the magnetic field at point P for a certain electromagnetic wave is 2.12 μT. What is the magnitude of the elect
valkas [14]

Answer:

The electric field is  E =  636 \ V/m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The magnitude of magnetic field is B  =  2.12 \mu T  =  2.12*10^{-6} \ T

      The value for speed of light is  c =  3.0 *10^8 \ m/s

Generally the magnitude of the electric field at point P is

        E =  B * c

substituting values

         E =  2.12 *10^{-6} *  3.0 *10^{8}

         E =  636 \ V/m

How is the size of stars measured?
Ber [7]

Most of the stars in our universe are in binary systems. Hence, the size of the stars can be found when one star eclipses the other. When so happens, the change in the luminosity is measured and size is calculated. Another way is by measuring the luminosity of the star and comparing it with the Sun's luminosity. As the luminosity is dependent on the size of the star, the radius of the star can be calculated when compared to the Sun. Following formula can be used:

Star's radius/Sun's radius = (Sun's temperature/star's temperature)2 Sqrt[star's luminosity/Sun's luminosity].
