A. 1/9

Explanation:

The gravitational force between two objects is given by

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

m1 and m2 are the two masses

r is the distance between the two masses

From the formula, we see that the magnitude of the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance: therefore, if the distance is tripled (increased by a factor 3), the magnitude of the force changes by a factor

\frac{1}{r^2}=\frac{1}{3^2}=\frac{1}{9}

What causes the rider on a roller coaster to experience the + or - g’s if gravity always remains the same on earth
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Yes both = and - g can be felt by a rider in a roller coaster.

Explanation:

It is crucial to understand how we feel gravity in this case.

We humans have no sensory organs to directly detect magnitude and direction like some birds and other creatures, but then how do we we feel gravity?

When we stand on our feet we feel our weight due to the normal reaction of floor on our feet trying to keep us stand and our weight trying to crush us down. In an elevator we feel difference in our weight (difference magnitudes of gravity) but actually we are feeling the differences in normal reactions under different accelerations of the elevator.

In the case of roller coaster you will feel +g as you  sit on a chair in it, but will feel -g when you are in upside down position as roller coaster move.

When you are seated you will feel the normal reaction of seat on you giving you the feeling +g and the support of the buckles to stay in the roller coaster when you are upside down will give you the -g feeling.

<u>This is just the physics approach</u>, a biological approach can be given in association with sensors relating to ears.

A tube of mercury with resistivity 9.84 × 10 -7 Ω ∙ m has an electric field inside the column of mercury of magnitude 23 N/C tha
slava [35]

Answer:

The current through the tube is 73.39A.

Explanation:

The relationship between the resistivity \rho, the electric field E, and the current density J is given by

\rho = \dfrac{E}{J}

This equation can be solved for J to get:

J = \dfrac{E}{\rho}

Since the current is I = J\cdot A

I= J\cdot A  = \dfrac{E}{\rho} \cdot A

Now, for the tube of mercury \rho = 9.84*10^{-7}\: \Omega \cdot m, E = 23N/C, and the area is A = \pi r^2 = \pi (1.0*10^{-3}m)^2 = 3.14*10^{-6}m^2; therefore,

I= \dfrac{23N/C}{9.84*10^{-7}\Omega\cdot m } *3.14*10^{-6}m^2

\boxed{I = 73.39A.}

Hence, the current through the mercury tube is 73.39A.
