Answer: Cholera

Explanation: Cholera is a disease caused by Bacteria known as Vibrio Cholera,It is easily spread through contaminated water and food substances through fecal-oral route. It is characterised by a constant diarrhea,weight loss,fever, severe dehydration and muscle cramps.

Cholera can be very deadly and fatal,it is prevented by ensuring adequate environment and personal hygiene. The treatment of waste water has helped to eliminate the disease from the United States of America.

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.

At a certain place, Earth's magnetic field has magnitude B =0.703 gauss and is inclined downward at an angle of 75.4° to the hor

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

The charge flows in coulombs is

$dq=1.843x10^{-5}C$

Explanation:

The current magnitude of current is given by the resistance and the induced Emf as:

$I=N*\frac{dF}{Rdt}$

$\frac{dq}{dt}=\frac{dF}{Rdt}=dq=N*\frac{dF}{R}$

$dq=\frac{N*\beta*A*(Cos(\alpha_f)-Cos(\alpha_i}{R}$

$N=1300$ , $\beta=0.703$ , $A=\pi*r^2=\pi*0.10^2=0.01\pi m^2$ , $R=99.4+202=301.4$ Ω

$\alpha_f=14.6$ , $\alpha_i=165.4$

Replacing :

$dq=\frac{1300*0.703x10^{-4}*0.01\pi*(0.9667-(-0.9667))}{202+99.4}$

$dq=1.843x10^{-5}C$

Two arrows are shot vertically upward. the second arrow is shot after the first one, but while the first is still on its way up.

Neko [114]

Now that you know the time to reach its maximum height, you have enough information to find out the initial velocity of the second arrow. Here's what you know about it: its final velocity is 0 m/s (at the maximum height), its time to reach that is 2.8 seconds, but wait! it was fired 1.05 seconds later, so take off 1.05 seconds so that its time is 1.75 seconds, and of course gravity is still the same at -9.8 m/s^2. Plug those numbers into the kinematic equation (Vf=Vi+a*t, remember?) for 0=Vi+-9.8*1.75 and solve for Vi to get....... 17.15 m/s

Consider a space shuttle which has a mass of about 1.0 x 105 kg and circles the Earth at an altitude of about 200.0 km. Calculat

svetlana [45]

Answer:

1.6675×10^-16N

Explanation:

The force of gravity that the space shuttle experiences is expressed as;

g = GM/r²

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass = 1.0 x 10^5 kg

r is the altitude = 200km = 200,000m

Substitute into the formula

g = 6.67×10^-11 × 1.0×10^5/(2×10^5)²

g = 6.67×10^-6/4×10^10

g = 1.6675×10^{-6-10}

g = 1.6675×10^-16N

Hence the force of gravity experienced by the shuttle is 1.6675×10^-16N
