Answer:

Work = 0.36N

Explanation:

Given

Force = 12N

Distance = 0.03m

Weight = 0.05kg

Required

Determine the work done

Workdone is calculated as thus;

Work = Force * Distance

Substitute 12N for Force and 0.03m for Distance

Work = 12N * 0.03m

Work = 0.36Nm

Using proper S.I units

Work = 0.36N

Hence, work done by the spring on the ball is 0.36N

Which of the following statements is/are true?Check all that apply.a. A conservative force permits a two-way conversion between

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

a). A conservative force permits a two-way conversion between kinetic and potential energies.

TRUE

Because there is no energy loss in presence of conservative forces so energy conversion in two ways are possible.

b). A potential energy function can be specified for a conservative force.

TRUE

negative gradient of potential energy is equal to conservative force

$F = -\frac{dU}{dr}$

c). A non-conservative force permits a two-way conversion between kinetic and potential energies.

FALSE

here energy is lost against non-conservative forces

d). The work done by a conservative force depends on the path taken.

FALSE

work done by conservative force is independent of path

e). The work done by a non-conservative force depends on the path taken.

TRUE

work done by non conservative forces depends on path.

f). A potential energy function can be specified for a non-conservative force.

FALSE

It is not defined for non conservative forces

What is the order of magnitude of the distance of Sun to nearest star in meters?

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

Approximating the Milky Way as a disk and using the density in the solar neighborhood, there are about 100 billion stars in the Milky Way.

Explanation:

Since we are making an order of magnitude estimate, we will make a series of simplifying assumptions to get an answer that is roughly right.

Let's model the Milky Way galaxy as a disk.

The volume of a disk is:

⋅

Plugging in our numbers (and assuming that

≈

⋅

(

⋅

(

)

Is the approximate volume of the Milky Way.

Now, all we need to do is find how many stars per cubic meter (

) are in the Milky Way and we can find the total number of stars.

Let's look at the neighborhood around the Sun. We know that in a sphere with a radius of

m there is exactly one star (the Sun), after that you hit other stars. We can use that to estimate a rough density for the Milky Way.

Using the volume of a sphere

Going back to the density equation:

Plugging in the density of the solar neighborhood and the volume of the Milky Way:

256

stars (or 100 billion stars)

Is this reasonable? Other estimates say that there are are 100-400 billion stars in the Milky Way. This is exactly what we found.

A(n)is produced around a wire when an electrical current is in the wire.

Nonamiya [84]

Answer: The correct answer is "magnetic field".

Explanation:

A magnetic field is produced around the current carrying wire.

If you bring compass needle around the current carrying wire then it shows the deflection which indicates that there is a magnetic field around the current carrying wire.

Magnetic fields are the area around the surrounding of magnet in which magnetic force can be experienced.

Therefore, a magnetic field is produced around a wire when an electrical current is in the wire.

Based on the attached image:

The name of the longitude line that passes through point A is the International Date Line
The longitude 180° is experiencing solar noon because the rays of the sun are parallel to it.
The longitude for 6 pm is 90° W, 12 midnight is 0°, and 6 am is 90° E
Longitude 120° is B
Solar time at Point B is 4 pm
The location will correspond to any point on the same latitude as A

<h3>What are lines of longitude?</h3>

Lines of longitude are imaginary lines which run along the earth from the North pole. to the South pole.

Longitude lines divide the earth into semi-circles.

Longitude lines are known as meridians and each meridian measures one arc degree of longitude.

Considering the attached image:

The name of the longitude line that passes through point A is the International Date Line
The longitude 180° is experiencing solar noon because the rays of the sun are parallel to it.
The longitude for 6 pm is 90° W, 12 midnight is 0°, and 6 am is 90° E
Longitude 120° is B
Solar time at Point B is 4 pm
the location will correspond to any point on the same latitude as A

In conclusion, longitude lines are imaginary lines and run from North to South on the earth.
