Explanation:

One of the takeaways of the General Theory of Relativity (GTR) was that the light can be curved because of the gravity of a massive object. Einstein had proposed the idea of <em>space-time</em> fabric. Every object having mass will create depression in this fabric. Heavier the object, bigger the depression. Thus when light will pass near a heavy object lets say our Sun, it will deflect. He also gave mathematical formula to calculate the deflection.

The same was proved during the Total Solar Eclipse of 29 May 1919. Two scientists named Arthur Eddington and Frank Dyson conducted an experiment. In this eclipse the Sun was to be in front of Hyades in Taurus constellation. They took the measurement of stars of Hyades visible during the eclipse and then compared them with the actual readings. The deflection was clearly visible and the amount of deflection was very close to the values predicted by General Theory of Relativity. Thus they proved the theory right.

Answer:

We need about 8769 meters of wire to produce a 2.6 kilogauss magnetic field.

Explanation:

Recall the formula for the magnetic field produced by a solenoid of length L. N turns, and running a current I:

$B=\mu_0\,\frac{N}{L} \,I$

So, in our case, where B = 2.6 KG = 0.26 Tesla; I is 3 amperes, and L = 0.57 m, we can find what is the number of turns needed;

$B=\mu_0\,\frac{N}{L} \,I\\0.26=4\,\pi\,10^{-7}\frac{N}{0.57} \,3\\N=\frac{0.26*0.57\,10^7}{12\,\pi} \\N=39311.27$

Therefore we need about 39312 turns of wire. Considering that each turn must have a length of $\pi\,D$ , where D is the diameter of the plastic cylindrical tube, then the total length of the wire must be:

$Length=39312\,(\pi\,D)=39312\,(\pi\,0.071)\approx 8768.66\,\,m$

We can round it to about 8769 meters.

An object is released from rest and falls in free fall motion. The speed v of the object after it has fallen a distance y is giv

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

8.91 %

Explanation:

Since v² = 2gy

By the relative error formula,

2Δv/v = Δg/g + Δy/y multiplying by 100%, we have

2Δv/v × 100% = Δg/g × 100 % + Δy/y × 100%

2(Δv/v × 100%) = Δg/g × 100 % + Δy/y × 100%

Δg/g × 100 % = 2(Δv/v × 100%) - Δy/y × 100%

Since Δv/v × 100% = 3.69 % and Δy/y × 100% = 5 %

Since we have a difference for the percentage error in g, we square the percentage errors and add them together. So,

[Δg/g × 100 %]² = [2(Δv/v × 100%)]² + [Δy/y × 100%]²

[Δg/g × 100 %]² = [2(3.69)]² + [5%]²

[Δg/g × 100 %]² = [4)(3.69 %)² + [5%]²

[Δg/g × 100 %]² = 54.4644 %² + 25%²

[Δg/g × 100 %]² = 79.4644 %²

taking square-root of both sides, we have

[Δg/g × 100 %] = 8.91 %

So, the percent uncertainty in the calculated value of g is 8.91 %

In a region of space where gravitational forces can be neglected, a sphere is accelerated by a uniform light beam of intensity 8

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is B

Explanation:

To calculate the acceleration we must use Newton's second law

F = m a

a = F / m

To calculate the force we use the defined pressure and the radiation pressure for an absorbent surface

P = I / c absorbent surface

P = F / A

F / A = I / c

F = I A / c

The area of area of a circle is

A = π r²

We replace

F = I π r² / c

Let's calculate

F = 8.0 10⁻³ π (1.0 10⁻⁶)²/3 10⁸

F = 8.375 10⁻²³ N

Density is

ρ = m / V

m = ρ V

m = ρ (4/3 π r³)

m = 4500 (4/3 π (1 10⁻⁶)³)

m = 1,885 10⁻¹⁴ kg

Let's calculate the acceleration

a = 8.375 10⁻²³ / 1.885 10⁻¹⁴

a = 4.44 10⁻⁹ m/s² absorbent surface

The correct answer is B
