Malika is writing an essay about the Sun. Below is the first paragraph in the essay. The Sun is an average-size star that is loc

ated at the center of the solar system. This hot, glowing ball of gas has a diameter of 1,393,000 km. This means 109 Earths would fit side by side across the diameter of the Sun. At the surface, the Sun’s temperature is about 550 degrees Celsius. Earth is located just under 150 million kilometers from the Sun. Malika quickly realizes this paragraph contains an error. Which statement identifies the error?

The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Jupiter is about 2.5 times the acceleration due to gravity on Earth’s surface.
Ann [662]

Answer: The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

Weight = Mass × Acceleration

Let the mass of the space probe be m

Acceleration due to gravity on the earth = g

Weight of the space probe on earth = W

W=m\times g

Acceleration due to gravity on the Jupiter = g' = 2.5g

Weight of the space probe on earth = W'

W'=mg'=m\times 2.5g

\frac{W'}{W}=\frac{m\times 2.5g}{m\times g}

W'=2.5\times W

The weight of the space probe on the Jupiter will be 2.5 times the weight of the space probe on earth.

Hence, the correct answer is option C.

What must the diver's minimum speed be just as she leaves the top of the cliff so that she will miss the ledge at the bottom, wh
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

1.08 m/s

Explanation:

This can be solved with two steps, first we need to find the time taken to fall 9.5 m, then we can divide the horizontal distance covered with time taken to calculate the velocity.

Time taken to fall 9.5 m

vertical acceleration = a = 9.8 m/s^2.

vertical velocity = 0, (since there is only horizontal component for velocity, )

distance traveled  s = 9.5 m.

Substituting these values in the equation

s= u \timest+0.5at^{2}

t= \sqrt{\frac{2s}{g} }

t=\sqrt{\frac{2\times9.5}{9.8} }

⇒ t= 1.392 sec

Velocity needed

We know the time taken (1.392 s) to travel 1.5 m,

So velocity = 1.5 m / 1.392 s = 1.08 m/s

hence velocity of the diver must be at least 1.08 m/s

<h2>Answer:</h2>

In circuits, the average power is defined as the average of the instantaneous power  over one period. The instantaneous power can be found as:

p(t)=v(t)i(t)

So the average power is:

P=\frac{1}{T}\intop_{0}^{T}p(t)dt

But:

v(t)=v_{m}cos(\omega t) \\ \\ i(t)=i_{m}cos(\omega t)

So:

P=\frac{1}{T}\intop_{0}^{T}v_{m}cos(\omega t)i_{m}cos(\omega t)dt \\ \\ P=\frac{v_{m}i_{m}}{T}\intop_{0}^{T}cos^{2}(\omega t)dt \\ \\ But: cos^{2}(\omega t)=\frac{1+cos(2\omega t)}{2}

P=\frac{v_{m}i_{m}}{T}\intop_{0}^{T}(\frac{1+cos(2\omega t)}{2} )dt \\\\P=\frac{v_{m}i_{m}}{T}\intop_{0}^{T}[\frac{1}{2}+\frac{cos(2\omega t)}{2}]dt \\\\P=\frac{v_{m}i_{m}}{T}[\frac{1}{2}(t)\right|_0^T +\frac{sin(2\omega t)}{4\omega} \right|_0^T] \\ \\ P=\frac{v_{m}i_{m}}{2T}[(t)\right|_0^T +\frac{sin(2\omega t)}{2\omega} \right|_0^T] \\ \\ P=\frac{v_{m}i_{m}}{2}

In terms of RMS values:

V_{RMS}=V=\frac{v_{m}}{\sqrt{2}} \\ \\ I_{RMS}=I=\frac{i_{m}}{\sqrt{2}} \\ \\ Then: \\ \\ P=VI
