Without gravity, all rocks and debris would lose masses and never accrete into a planet.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation: </u>

According to the well-known physicist James Overduin, the Earth would be nothing but a flat surface in the absence of gravity. Gravity provides weight to objects with which they attract towards the source i.e. the Earth and that's why it forms the circular shape.

If the universe and Earth would not have gravity, it would not curve and since gravity is considered as the curvature of space and time. There would be no matter and energy that cause it to curve.

You do 120 j of work while pulling your sister back on a swing, whose chain is 5.10 m long. you start with the swing hanging ver

Goryan [66]

The work done to pull the sister back on the swing is equal to the increase in potential energy of the sister:
$W= \Delta U = mg \Delta h$ (1)

where m is the sister's mass, g is the gravitational acceleration and $\Delta h$ is the increase in altitude of the sister with respect to its initial position.

By calling $\theta$ the angle of the chain with respect to the vertical, the increase in altitude is given by
$\Delta h = L - L \cos \theta = L(1 - \cos \theta)$ (2)
where L is the length of the chain.

Putting (2) inside (1), we find
$W= m g L (1 - \cos \theta)$
from which we can find the mass of the sister:
$m = \frac{W}{g L (1 - \cos \theta)} = \frac{120 J}{(9.81 m/s^2)(5.10 m)(1- \cos 32.0^{\circ})} =15.8 kg$

A two-slit Fraunhofer interference-diffraction pattern is observed with light of wavelength 672 nm. The slits have widths of 0.0

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

In case of diffraction , angular width of central maxima =2 λ/d

λ is wave length of light and d is slit width

In case of interference , angular width of each fringe

= λ /D

D is distance between two slits

No of interference fringe in central diffraction fringe

=2 λ/d x D/λ = 2 x D /d = 2 x .24/.03 = 16.

The pressure of a gas is reduced from 1200.0 mm hg to 850.0 mm hg as the volume of its container is increased by moving a piston

Kamila [148]

From gas laws:
$\frac{PV}{T} = Constant$

Therefore,
$\frac{ P_{1} V_{1} }{ T_{1} } = \frac{ P_{2} V_{2} }{ T_{2} }$

P1 = 1200 mm
V1 = 85 ml
T1 = 90°C = 363.15 K
P2 = 850 mm
V2 = 350 ml
T2 = ?

Substituting;
$T_{2} = \frac{ P_{2} V_{2} T_{1} }{ P^{1} V^{1} } = \frac{850*350*363.15}{1200*85} = 1059.19 K$ = 786.04 °C
