Answer:

option A

Explanation:

The meteor shower is the celestial activity in which meteors are observed to radiate or originate from one point.

Meteors are nothing but dust or ice from the trails of comets. Most of the meteors are less than the size of the sand particle.

We will see comet shower when we earth will cross the orbit of the comet.

Hence, the correct answer is option A

A certain resistor dissipates 0.5 W when connected to a 3 V potential difference. When connected to a 1 V potential difference,

Stels [109]

Answer:

Explanation:

$Power = IV$

From ohms law we know that

$V= IR\\\\I= \frac{V}{R} \\\\Power= \frac{V}{R}*V\\\\Power= \frac{V^2}{R}$

Given data

P1 = 0.5 Watt

P2 = ?

V1= 3 Volts

V2= 1 Volt

Thus we can solve for the power dissipated as follows

$P1= \frac{V1^2}{R1}\\\\P2= \frac{V2^2}{R2}$

$\frac{P1}{P2} = \frac{V1^2}{V2^2}\\\\ P2=\frac{ V2^2}{ V1^2} *P1\\\\ P2=\frac{ 1^2}{ 3^2} *0.5= 0.055= 0.056 W$

<em>The resistor will dissipate 0.056 Watt</em>

The masses of the Moon and Earth are 7.35 x 1022 kg and 5.97 x 1024 kg, respectively. The strength of the gravitational force be

bixtya [17]

Answer:

Distance between centre of Earth and centre of Moon is 3.85 x 10⁸ m

Explanation:

The attractive force experienced by two mass objects is known as Gravitational force.

The gravitational force is determine by the relation:

$F=\frac{Gm_{1} m_{2} }{d^{2} }$ ....(1)

According to the problem,

Mass of Moon, m₁ = 7.35 x 10²² kg

Mass of Earth, m₂ = 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg

Gravitational force experienced by them, F = 1.98 x 10²⁰ N

Universal gravitational constant, G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ Nm²kg⁻²

Substitute these values in equation (1).

$1.98\times10^{20} =\frac{6.67\times10^{-11}\times7.35\times10^{22}\times5.97\times10^{24} }{d^{2} }$

$d^{2}=\frac{2.93\times10^{37}}{1.98\times10^{20}}$

$d=\sqrt{1.48\times10^{17}}$

d = 3.85 x 10⁸ m

A total of 875 J of work was done when a force of 175 N was exerted on a box to move it. How far was the box moved

Vladimir [108]

Work = Force times Distance
W = Fd

Given W = 750J, F = 125N;

750 = 125d

Solving for d:
d = 750/125
d = 6

The box moved a distance of 6 meters.

A certain first-order reaction is 58% complete in 95 s. What are the values of the rate constant and the half-life for this proc

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

$0.005734 s^{-1}$ and 20.86 seconds are the values of the rate constant and the half-life for this process respectively..

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

$a_o=a\times e^{-kt}$

where,

k = rate constant

t = age of sample

$a_o$ = let initial amount of the reactant

a = amount left after decay process

We have :

$a_o=x$

$a=58\%\times x=0.58x$

t = 95 s

$0.58x=x\times e^{-k\times 95 s}$

$\k= 0.005734 s^{-1}$

Half life is given by for first order kinetics::

$t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}$

$=\frac{0.693}{0.005734 s^{-1}}=120.86 s$

$0.005734 s^{-1}$ and 20.86 seconds are the values of the rate constant and the half-life for this process respectively..
