Dropping a stone from a height is work or not?​

Physics
1 answer:
kvasek [131]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Dropping a stone from a height is work  

Explanation:

Work is the action of a force through a distance.

w = fd

The Earth's gravitational attractive force is pulling the stone to its centre, so the Earth is doing work on the stone.

An object moves in uniform circular motion at 25 m/s and takes 1.0 second to go a quarter circle. Calculate the centripetal acce
tekilochka [14]

Given:

Object in circular motion 25 m/s

1 second to go quarter circle

Required:

Centripetal acceleration:

Solution:

Acceleration = v2/r

Where v is the velocity and r is the radian

Substituting the values into the equation,

Acceleration = v2/r = (25 m/s)2/(4*pi/180) = 8952.47 m2/s2

If temp. gets cold resistance in thermostat increases so voltage across it increases AND LED lights brighter. I understand every
Valentin [98]

Normally, when something gets colder, its electrical resistance gets smaller.  This is true of component-A in the drawing ... a simple resistor.

The component labeled 'B' has a strange and unusual symbol, and it's not a simple resistor.  It's a "thermistor".  The word "thermal" always has something to do with heat, and "thermistor" comes from "thermal resistor.  These things can be manufactured either way ... using different materials, a thermistor can be manufactured so that its resistance goes UP, or goes DOWN, or doesn'tchange when it gets colder.  I'm pretty sure that's what's going on here.

When this circuit gets colder, resistance-A gets smaller, but resistance-B either gets bigger OR doesn't change.  Either way, the voltage across B increases.  Since the LED is connected directly across B, the current through it depends on that voltage, so the LED gets more current, and becomes brighter, when A and B both get colder.

This circuit could actually be a very useful device.  If you took out the LED and put a voltmeter in its place, then the reading on the voltmeter would tell you the temperature of wherever you put the two components A and B.

In Ch. 1.6, the authors point out that interstellar space is not actually as empty as it seems. There is actually a lot of diffu
wel

Answer:

very small solid particles called interstellar dust.

Explanation:

In the space between the stars there is gas and dust, which represent at least 20% of the mass of our galaxy. In the Milky Way it is considered that there is a gas density of approximately 0.2 to 0.5 atoms / cm3 in the surroundings of the Sun; with respect to the dust an average of 1 g / cm3 is estimated.

Gas is about atoms and molecules, mainly hydrogen; In order of abundance, helium, carbon, oxygen, nitrogen and iron follow. On the other hand, the dust is tiny particles, generally smaller than 10 microns; the dust does not shine and therefore it is only distinguished when it is projected on bright regions (nebulae or clusters).

Interstellar matter is mainly concentrated towards the plane of the galaxy, in the strip corresponding to the Milky Way; there you can see bright nebulas of diffuse character called nebulas. These nebulae are classified according to three types: (a) bright or emission nebulae, (b) reflection nebulae and (c) planetary nebulae.

Hydrogen appears both ionized and neutral; The bright nebulae are composed of ionized hydrogen and other ionized elements. Non-ionized (neutral) hydrogen is found in the spiral arms of the Milky Way and can be detected through radio waves.

PLEASE HELP ASAP...TIMED TEST. PLEASE ANSWER WITH AT LEAST A PARAGRAPH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
charle [14.2K]

Answer: I am pretty sure that you should pick radio waves.

Explanation: The scientist should use radio waves. I think this because you can use the radio waves to analyze the signals from outer space. This will work much better than anything there, to analyze it the best possible.

The best I could do.
