Answer:

The height of the object is 5007.4 miles.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of object = 200 lb

We need to calculate the value of $Gmm_{e}$

Using formula of gravitational force

$F=\dfrac{Gmm_{e}}{r^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$200=\dfrac{Gmm_{e}}{(3958.756)^2}$

$200\times(3958.756)^2=Gmm_{e}$

$Gmm_{e}=3.134\times10^{9}$

We need to calculate the height of the object

Using formula of gravitational force

$F=\dfrac{Gmm_{e}}{r^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$125=\dfrac{200\times(3958.756)^2}{r^2}$

$r^2=\dfrac{200\times(3958.756)^2}{125}$

$r^2=25074798.5$

$r=\sqrt{25074798.5}$

$r=5007.4\ miles$

Hence. The height of the object is 5007.4 miles.

A light ray traveling through a material with an index of refraction of 1.2 is incident on a material that has an index of refra

zzz [600]

Answer:

compared to the incident angle, the refracted angle is 45.56⁰

Explanation:

From Snell's law;

n₁sin(I) = n₂sin(r)

Where;

n₁ is the refractive index of light in medium 1 = 1.2

n₂ is the refractive index of light in medium 2 = 1.4

I is the incident angle

r is the refractive angle

$n = \frac{1}{sin(I)}\\\\sin(I) = \frac{1}{n}\\\\sin(I) =\frac{1}{1.2}\\\\sin(I) =0.8333\\\\I = sin^-{(0.8333)$

I = 56.439⁰

Applying snell's law

$n_1sin(I) = n_2sin(r)\\\\sin(r) = \frac{n_1sin(I) }{n_2}\\\\sin(r) = \frac{1.2*sin(56.439) }{1.4}\\\\sin(r) = 0.714\\\\r = sin^-(0.714)\\\\r = 45.56^o$

Therefore, compared to the incident angle, the refracted angle is 45.56⁰

Find the ratio of the diameter of iron to copper wire, if they have the same resistance per unit length (as they might in househ

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

The ratio of the diameter of iron to Cu is;

$\frac{d{Fe} }{ d{Cu} } =\sqrt{\frac{p_{Fe} }{ p_{Cu} }}$

Explanation:

R=(ρL)/A

R is resistance,
L is length,
A is area,
ρ is resistivity
d is diameter

from the question the two materials have the same resistance per unit length.

$\frac{R}{L}= \frac{p}{A}$

$\frac{R}{L}$ for iron = $\frac{R}{L}$ for copper

This means we can equate ρ/A for both materials.

$\frac{p_{Fe} }{A_{Fe} } =\frac{p_{Cu} }{A_{Cu} }$

re-arranging the equation we have,

$\frac{A_{Fe}}{A_{Cu} } =\frac{p_{Fe} }{ p_{Cu} }$

$A=\pi \frac{d^{2} }{4}$

$\frac{A_{Fe}}{A_{Cu} } =\frac{d^{2}{Fe} }{ d^{2}{Cu} }$

$\frac{d^{2}{Fe} }{ d^{2}{Cu} } =\frac{p_{Fe} }{ p_{Cu} }$

$\frac{d{Fe} }{ d{Cu} } =\sqrt{\frac{p_{Fe} }{ p_{Cu} }}$

Which statement below best describes the relationship between the voltage, resistance, and current?

aliina [53]

Answer:

As voltage increases, current increases and resistance stays the same .

Explanation:

Ohm's law gives the relationship between the voltage, resistance, and current. The mathematical form of Ohm's law is given by :

$V\propto I\\\\V=IR$

R is resistance

I is current

V is voltage

So, as voltage increases, current increases and resistance stays the same. The correct option is (A).
