Answer:

If the distance is doubled, the force of gravity between the two bodies is one-fourth as strong as before

Explanation:

The force of gravity between two bodies depends on the mass and distance. But we will focus on distance since that's what the question asks

Therefore, the force of gravity decreases as distance between the bodies increases.

A person 1.8m tall stands 0.75m from a reflecting globe in a garden.

Maru [420]

Answer:

1. The image of the person is 1.41 m, virtual and formed at the back of the surface of the globe.

2. The person's image is 3.38 m tall.

Explanation:

From the given question, object distance, u = 0.75 m, object height = 1.8 m, radius of curvature of the reflecting globe, r = 8 cm = 0.08 m.

f = $\frac{r}{2}$ = $\frac{0.08}{2}$ = 0.04 m

1. The image distance, v, can be determined by applying mirror formula:

$\frac{1}{f}$ = $\frac{1}{u}$ + $\frac{1}{v}$

$\frac{1}{0.04}$ = $\frac{1}{0.75}$ + $\frac{1}{v}$

$\frac{4}{100}$ - $\frac{75}{100}$ = $\frac{1}{v}$

$\frac{1}{v}$ = $\frac{4 - 75}{100}$

= - $\frac{71}{100}$

⇒ v = - $\frac{100}{71}$

= - 1.41 m

The image of the person is 1.41 m, virtual and formed at the back of the surface of the globe.

2. $\frac{image distance}{object distance}$ = $\frac{image height}{object height}$

$\frac{1.41}{0.75}$ = $\frac{v}{1.8}$

v = $\frac{2.538}{0.75}$

= 3.384

v = 3.38 m

The person's image is 3.38 m tall.

A bicycle rim has a diameter of 0.65 m and a moment of inertia, measured about its center, of 0.21 kg⋅m2What is the mass of the

stepan [7]

Answer:

m = 1.99 kg = 2 kg

Explanation:

The moment of inertia of a bicycle rim about it's center is given by the following formula:

$I = mr^{2}\\$

where,

I = Moment of Inertia of the Bicycle Rim = 0.21 kg.m²

r = Radius of the Bicycle Rim = Diameter of the Bicycle Rim/2

r = 0.65 m/2 = 0.325 m

m = Mass of the Bicycle Rim = ?

Therefore,

$0.21\ kg.m^{2} = m(0.325\ m)^{2}\\m = \frac{0.21\ kg.m^{2}}{(0.325\ m)^{2}}\\$
