According to Newton's thirdlaw, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. When a comb is charged and held near small piec

es of paper, the comb exerts an electric force on the paper pieces and pulls them toward it. Why don't you observe the comb moving toward the paper pieces as well

Answer:

Due to the fact that the comb is in terms of mass bigger than pieces of paper

Explanation:

In terms of mass, the comb is way too bigger than the piece of paper so it is virtually impossible for it to move towards the pieces of paper

According to Newton third law action and reaction are equal and opposite

Mathematically

P=m*v

Where

P= impulse is Newton

m=mass of the body

V= velocity of the body

Now since the comb has a greater mass it will not move to the paper, else the paper must have to move to it.

An automobile traveling along a straight road increases its speed from 30.0 m/s to 50.0 m/s in a distance of 180 m. If the accel
inessss [21]

Answer:

4.5sec

Explanation:

From the question above, the following are the parameters that are given

u= 30m/s

v= 50m/s

s= 180m

First of all we have to find the acceleration by using the third equation of motion

V^2= U^2 + 2as

50^2= 30^2 + 2(a)(180)

2500= 900 + 360a

Collect the like terms

2500-900= 360a

1600=360a

Divide both sides by the coefficient of a which is 360

1600/360=360a/360

a= 4.44m/s

The next step is to find the time. To do this we will have to use the first equation of motion

v= u + at

50= 30 + 4.44t

Collect the like terms

50-30= 4.44t

20= 4.44t

Divide both sides by the coefficient of t which is 4.44

20/4.44= 4.44t/4.44

t= 4.5sec

Hence 4.5secs elapses while the auto moves at a distance of 180m

We often see cracks on rocks and stones why
Paul [167]

Answer:

Due to the process of weathering and erosion.

Explanation:

  • As the rocks are made of different forms of minerals they may have an igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary origin. Hence the natural stone surfaces can be made of granite, lime, or even shale.  
  • The process of physical weathering that is called as mechanical weathering of rocks tends to break them apart and leads to the development of crack and small openings.
  • The diurnal exposure of bare rocks to extreme temperatures of day and night leads to onion peeling and slowly with water as an agent of erosion lead to cracks in joints of rocks.

A newly discovered planet has the same mass as the Earth, but a person standing on the surface of the planet experiences a force
Dafna11 [192]

This question deals with the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the planet. The value of the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of two planets, that is Earth and on the surface of another planet are compared to find out the relation between the radii of both planets, provided their masses are the same.

The correct option for the radius of the new planet is "Option 3: Square Root of 3 R"

The value of the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of a planet is given by the following formula:

g = \frac{GM}{R^2}----------- eqn(1)

where,

g = acceleration due to gravity on Earth

G = Universal Gravitational Constant

M = mass of the Earth

R = Radius of the Earth

Now, the same formula for the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the other planet can be written as follows:

g' = \frac{GM'}{R'}\\\\------------- eqn(2)

where,

g' = acceleration due to gravity on the new planet

G = Universal Gravitational Constant

M' = mass of the new planet

R' = Radius of the new planet

According to the given condition, the new planet has the same mass as the Earth's mass but the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the new planet is one-third of the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Earth.

M'=M\\\\g'=\frac{1}{3}g

using eqn (1) and eqn (2):

\frac{GM}{R'^2}=\frac{1}{3}\frac{GM}{R^2}\\\\R'^2=3R^2\\\\R' = \sqrt{3}R

Hence, the radius of the new planet is found to be equal to the square root of 3 times the radius of the Earth (Square Root of 3 R).

A mass of 0.40 kg is suspended on a spring which then stretches 10 cm. The mass is then removed and a second mass is placed on t
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

 x' = 1.01 m

Explanation:

given,

mass suspended on the spring, m = 0.40 Kg

stretches to distance, x = 10 cm  = 0. 1 m

now,

we know

m g = k x

where k is spring constant

0.4 x 9.8 = k x 0.1

  k = 39.2 N/m

now, when second mass is attached to the spring work is equal to 20 J

work done by the spring is equal to

W = \dfrac{1}{2}kx'^2

20= \dfrac{1}{2}\times 39.2\times x'^2

 x'² = 1.0204

 x' = 1.01 m

hence, the spring is stretched to 1.01 m from the second mass.

if you count 20 beetles in a garden measuring 5 square meters,the population density of the beetles is
jolli1 [7]
Population density  =  Number of beetles / Unit Square Area

                             =  20 beetles / 5m²  =  4 beetles per m²
