6 0

Refraction is the change in direction of waves that occurs when waves travel from one medium to another. Refraction is always accompanied by a wavelength and speed change. Diffraction is the bending of waves around obstacles and openings.

According to Newton’s law of universal gravitation, which statements are true?

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Before we solve this, we should know this fact:

According to Newton's Law of Gravitation, the force between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The force acts along the line joining the centres of the two objects. It can be shown by this:

$F ∝ \frac{Mm}{ {d}^{2} }$

Now, let us check all the options.

A. As we move to higher altitudes, the force of gravity on us decreases.

This statement is true.

The force of gravity is inversely proportional to the square of distance from the centre of the earth. If, we go up the surface of the earth, the distance from the centre of the earth increases and hence the value of force of gravity decrease. So, force of gravity decreases with altitude.

B. As we move to higher altitudes, the force of gravity on us increases.

This statement is false.

We have already got the result in option A. that the force of gravity decreases with altitude. It never increases with altitude.

C. As we gain mass, the force of gravity on us decreases.

This statement is false.

The force of gravity is directly proportional to the product of the masses. So, if increase our mass, then the force of gravity will also increase and if we decrease our mass, then the force of gravity decreases.

D. As we gain mass, the force of gravity on us increases.

This statement is true.

As mentioned earlier in option C., the force of gravity is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the earth and another object. So, as we gain mass, the force of gravity on us increases.

E. As we move faster, the force of gravity on us increases.

This statement is true.

Here, we have to consider a different formula. According to Newton's Second Law,

F = ma, where F is the force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

In other words,

F ∝ a, i.e., force is directly proportional to acceleration.

We know, acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an body within a time period.

So, if speed is increased, then acceleration will also be greater, which results in the increase of force. So, as we move faster, the force of gravity on us increases.

Answers:

A: As we move to higher altitudes, the force of gravity on us decreases.

D: As we gain mass, the force of gravity on us increases.

E: As we move faster, the force of gravity on us increases.

Hope you could understand.

A coil of wire containing N turns is in an external magnetic field that is perpendicular to the plane of the coil and it steadil

krok68 [10]

Answer:

The Resultant Induced Emf in coil is 4∈.

Explanation:

Given that,

A coil of wire containing having N turns in an External magnetic Field that is perpendicular to the plane of the coil which is steadily changing. An Emf (∈) is induced in the coil.

To find :-

find the induced Emf if rate of change of the magnetic field and the number of turns in the coil are Doubled (but nothing else changes).

So,

Emf induced in the coil represented by formula

∈ = $-N\frac{d\phi}{dt}$ ...................(1)

Where:

. $\phi = BAcos\theta$ { B is magnetic field }

{A is cross-sectional area}

. $N =$ No. of turns in coil.

. $\frac{d\phi}{dt} =$ Rate change of induced Emf.

Here,

Considering the case :-

$N1 = 2N$ & $\frac{d\phi1}{dt} = 2\frac{d\phi}{dt}$

Putting these value in the equation (1) and finding the new emf induced (∈1)

∈1 = $-N1\times\frac{d\phi1}{dt}$

∈1 = $-2N\times2\frac{d\phi}{dt}$

∈1 = $4 [-N\times\frac{d\phi}{dt}]$

∈1 = 4∈ ...............{from Equation (1)}

Hence,

The Resultant Induced Emf in coil is 4∈.

While walking past a construction site, a person notices a pipe sticking out of a second floor window with water pouring out. As

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Its diameter increases as it flows down from the pipe. Assuming laminar flow for the water, then Bernoulli's equation can be applied.

P1-P2 + (rho)g(h1 - h2) + 1/2(rho)(v1² - v2²) = 0

Explanation:

P1 = P2 = atmospheric pressure so, P1 - P2 = 0

h1 is greater than h2 so h1-h2 is positive. Rearranging the equation above 2{ (rho)g(h1-h2) + 1/2(rho)v1²}/rho = v2²

From the continuity equation for fluids

A1v1 = A2v2

v2 = A1v1/A2

Substituting into the equation above

(A1v1/A2)² = 2{ (rho)g(h1-h2) + 1/2(rho)v1²}/rho

Making A2² the subject of the formula,

A2² = (A1v1)²× rho/(2{ (rho)g(h1-h2) + 1/2(rho)v1²}

The denominator will be greater than the numerator and as a result the diameter of the flowing stream decreases.

A current of 0.5 A flows in a 60 W light bulb when the voltage differences between the ends of the filament is 120 V. What is th

LuckyWell [14K]

Resistance = (voltage) / (current)

Resistance = (120 V) / (0.5 A)

Resistance = 240 ohms

Know what ? There might be too much information given in this question. I want to check, because it's possible that it might not even all fit together.

To calculate my answer, I only used the voltage and the current. I didn't use the "60 watts", and I'm curious to know whether it even fits with the given voltage and current.

Power = (voltage) times (current).

Power = (120 V) times (0.5 A)

Power = 60 watts

Well gadzooks and sure enough ! The three numbers given in the question all go together nicely.

And not only THAT !

The answer could have been calculated by using ANY TWO of them.
