Use Newton's universal law of gravitation to explain why gravity is greater on Earth than on Mercury.

Physics

kotykmax [81]3 years ago

Its because the attraction force that pulls objects together increases the heavier the objects are. Since Mercury is much smaller and consequently lighter than earth, it's attraction to an object on the planets surface would be less than if that same object were found on earth. So it's "gravity acceleration" would be less than earth's 9.8m/s^2

20. A semiconductor is a
Stells [14]

Answer:

D. crystalline solid that conducts current under certain conditions

Explanation:

Semiconductors are crystalline solids that has the ability to conduct electrical currents but on certain conditions e.g heat. The conduction of semiconductors is less than that of conductors (metals) but more than insulators (nonmetals), hence, they are said to be intermediates of conductors and insulators in terms of electrical conductivity.

Examples of semiconductors are silicon, boron, carbon, germanium, arsenic etc.

An ideal gas occupies 0.4 m3 at an absolute pressure of 500 kPa. What is the absolute pressure if the volume changes to 0.9 m3 a
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

<h2>2.22 kPa</h2>

Explanation:

The new volume can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

P_1V_1 = P_2V_2

Since we are finding the new volume

V_2 =  \frac{P_1V_1}{P_2}  \\

From the question we have

V_2 =  \frac{0.4 \times 500000}{0.9}   =  \frac{200000}{0.9} \\  = 222222.2222... \\  = 222222

We have the final answer as

<h3>2.22 kPa</h3>

Hope this helps you

Consider two air-filled parallel-plate capacitors with circular plates. Capacitor 1 has a distance between plates d and plate ra
sergey [27]

Answer:

1/8 x C

Explanation:

The capacitance of parallel plate capacitor

= ε₀ A /d where A is area of plate and d is distance between plate.

for capacitor 1

C =  ε₀ A /d

For capacitor 2

radius = R/2

Area = A / 4

Capacitance

= ε₀ (A/4) x ( 1 / 2d )

= ( 1 / 8) x (ε₀ A /d)

= 1/8 x C

Jane, looking for tarzan, is running at top speed (5.2 m/s) and grabs a vine hanging 4.5 m vertically from a tall tree in the ju
kumpel [21]
While Jane is running has a kinetic energy, which is Ek = 1/2*m*v^2 where m is mass and v is velocity  When she grabs a vine, she is going to change the kinetic energy to potential energy.  
We know that potential energy is given by Ep = m*g*h where m is mass, g is gravity constant and h is height  
So while running the kinetic energy is Ek = 1/2 * m * 5.2^2 = 13.52*m 
Then all that energy is used to swing upward and gain potential energy 
Ep = m*g*h = Ek = 13.52*m  
m*9.8*h = 13.52*m 
h = 13.52/9.8 = 1.38 meters  
So Jane will swing 1.38 meters upward

A person who weighs 864 N is riding a 85-N mountain bike. Suppose the entire weight of the rider plus bike is supported equally
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

A=60.06 x 10⁻⁵ m²

Explanation:

Given that

Weight of the person = 864 N

Weight of the bike = 85 N

The total weight ,car + bike ,Wt= 864 + 85 N

 Wt = 949 N

2 p = 949 N

The weight on the each tire(F) = 474.5  N

P = 7.9 x 10 ⁵  Pa

We know that

Force = Pressure x Area

F= P A

By putting the values

474.5 =  7.9 x 10 ⁵  A

A=60.06 x 10⁻⁵ m²

Therefore area of contact A

A=60.06 x 10⁻⁵ m²
