A person standing on the surface of the earth has a weight of 650 N. What is its weight at a distance of two earth radii from th

e surface? If the person is at a distance of two earth radii from the surface, he/she is at a distance of three earth radii from the earth’s center. Since we have an inverse square law, three times the distance means 1/9th of the weight.

Answer:

72.22 N

Explanation:

F = weight

m = mass of body

M = mass of earth

R = radius of earth

G = universal constant of gravitation

F_1= 650 N

F_1 = GMm/R^2

two earth radius above the surface of the earth:

F_2=  GMm/(3R)^2=  GMm/9R^2= F_1/9= 650/9

=72.22 N

Zina [86]

Answer:

The value of spring constant is 266.01 \frac{N}{m}

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of pellet m = 2.01 \times 10^{-2} kg

Height difference of pellet rise h_{f} - h_{o} = 6.03 m

Spring compression x = 9.45 \times 10^{-2} m

From energy conservation law,

Spring potential energy is stored into potential energy,

  mg(h_{f} -h_{o})  = \frac{1}{2} kx^{2}

Where k = spring constant, g = 9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

  k = \frac{2mg(h_{f} -h_{o} )}{x^{2} }

  k = \frac{2 \times 9.8 \times 6.03\times 2.01 \times 10^{-2} }{(9.45\times 10^{-2} )^{2} }

  k = 266.01 \frac{N}{m}

Therefore, the value of spring constant is 266.01 \frac{N}{m}

If wave A has twice the amplitude and three times the frequency as wave B, then the energy carried by wave A must be ____ times
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

4 times

Explanation:

As we know that the energy of a wave is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude of the wave,

Here, the amplitude of the wave A is twice as compared to B.

So, the energy of wave A is 4 times the energy of wave B.

Is it possible for two different atoms of carbon to have different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei? Explain.
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Yes , it is possible  for two different atoms of carbon to have different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei .

Explanation:

Isotopes -

Atoms of the element with same number of the electrons and protons , but differ in the number of neutrons , are called as the isotopes .

The isotopes of the element have the same number of protons and electrons , hence have the same chemical and physical properties .

Many isotopes occurs naturally .

In case of Carbon ,  

Carbon too have isotopes ,  

i.e.  

Carbon - 13 and Carbon - 14

carbon - 13 , have seven neutrons  

Carbon - 14 , have eight neutrons .

yarga [219]

Answer:

the electric field strength on the second one is 2.67 N/C.

Explanation:

the electric fiel on the first one is:

E1 = k×q/(r^2)

r^2 = k×q/(E1)

     = (9×10^9)×(q)/(24.0)

     = 375000000q

then the electric field on the second one is:

E2 = k×q/(R^2)

we know that R = 3r

                       R^2 = 9×r^2

E2 = k×q/(9×r^2)

     = k×q/(9×375000000q)

     = k/(9×375000000)

     = (9×10^9)/(9×375000000)

     = 2.67 N/C

Therefore, the electric field strength on the second one is 2.67 N/C.
