In my opinion, the correct answer is the first one, 'the cumulative nature of modern knowledge of physics'. He is trying to say here that it is the overall knowledge of physics and of his predecessors that has helped him become the greatness that he is today.

A centrifuge used in DNA extraction spins at a maximum rate of 7000rpm producing a "g-force" on the sample that is 6000 times th
defon

Answer:

A) a = 73.304 rad/s²

B) Δθ = 3665.2 rad

Explanation:

A) From Newton's first equation of motion, we can say that;

a = (ω - ω_o)/t. We are given that the centrifuge spins at a maximum rate of 7000rpm.

Let's convert to rad/s = 7000 × 2π/60 = 733.04 rad/s

Thus change in angular velocity = (ω - ω_o) = 733.04 - 0 = 733.04 rad/s

We are given; t = 10 s

Thus;

a = 733.04/10

a = 73.304 rad/s²

B) From Newton's third equation of motion, we can say that;

ω² = ω_o² + 2aΔθ

Where Δθ is angular displacement

Making Δθ the subject;

Δθ = (ω² - ω_o²)/2a

At this point, ω = 0 rad/s while ω_o = 733.04 rad/s

Thus;

Δθ = (0² - 733.04²)/(2 × 73.304)

Δθ = -537347.6416/146.608

Δθ = - 3665.2 rad

We will take the absolute value.

Thus, Δθ = 3665.2 rad

What relationship between the sun and earth did copernicus formulate?
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

The astronomical model created and published by Nicholas Copernicus in the year 1543 is called Copernican heliocentrism. The model set the Sun in immobile position near the center of the solar system with Earth, as well as the other planets, spherical, epicycled and at consistent frequencies around it.

Find the current i in:
lawyer [7]

Answer:

I = 24 A

Explanation:

This is Parallel Circuit and it is the first principle of parallel circuit that voltage will be equal in all components in the circuit

It includes 10 resistors Therefore the voltage across,

R1 = R2 = R3 = R4 = R5 = R6 = R7 = R8 = R9 = R10 = voltage in battery

<h2>Ohm's Law</h2>

We will apply Ohm's Law to each resistor to find its current because we know the voltage across each resistor is 12 V  and the resistance of each resistor is 5Ω

I (R1) = E (R1) / R1

I (R1) = 12v / 5Ω

I (R1) = 2.4 A

The value resistance E of all resistors are same therefore by applying the formula above the value of current in all resistors will be 2.4 A

The Total current in the circuit will be

I (total) = I (1) + I (2) + I (3) + I (4) + I (5) + I (6) + I (7) + I (8) + I (9) + I (10)

I (total) = 2.4 + 2.4 + 2.4 + 2.4 + 2.4 + 2.4 + 2.4 + 2.4 + 2.4 + 2.4

I (total) = 24 A

Compute the size of the charge necessary for two spheres separated by 1m to be attached with the force of 1N. How many electrons
yarga [219]

Answer:

q\approx 6.6\cdot 10^{13}~electrons

Explanation:

<u>Coulomb's Law</u>

The force between two charged particles of charges q1 and q2 separated by a distance d is given by the Coulomb's Law formula:

\displaystyle F=k\frac{q_1q_2}{d^2}

Where:

k=9\cdot 10^9\ N.m^2/c^2

q1, q2 = the objects' charge

d= The distance between the objects

We know both charges are identical, i.e. q1=q2=q. This reduces the formula to:

\displaystyle F=k\frac{q^2}{d^2}

Since we know the force F=1 N and the distance d=1 m, let's find the common charge of the spheres solving for q:

\displaystyle q=\sqrt{\frac{F}{k}}\cdot d

Substituting values:

\displaystyle q=\sqrt{\frac{1}{9\cdot 10^9}}\cdot 1

q = 1.05\cdot 10^{-5}~c

This charge corresponds to a number of electrons given by the elementary charge of the electron:

q_e=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}~c

Thus, the charge of any of the spheres is:

\displaystyle q = \frac{1.05\cdot 10^{-5}~c}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}~c}

\mathbf{q\approx 6.6\cdot 10^{13}~electrons}
