Answer : Distance, d=6.98 × 10⁷ Km

Explanation :

Given that,

Mass of the sun, m₁ = 1.99 × 10³⁰ kg

Mass of Mercury, m₂ = 3.30 × 10²³ kg

Gravitational force between the sun and mercury, F = 8.99 × 10²¹ N

According to Universal law of gravitation,

F=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{d^2}

d is the distance of mercury from the sun

d=\sqrt{\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{F}}

d=\sqrt{\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.99\times {30}\times 3.30\times 10^{23}}{8.99\times 10^{21}}}

d=\sqrt{4.87\times 10^{21}} m

d=6.98\times 10^{10}\ m

or

d=6.98\times 10^{7}\ Km

So, mercury is 6.98\times 10^{7}\ Km far from the sun.

What did physicist James Joule's famous paddle wheel experiment demonstrate?
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

<u>Answer </u>

A. that the initial gravitational potential energy of the masses transformed into kinetic energy of the paddles and then to thermal energy in the water


<u>Explanation</u>

James Joule allowed some water to fall from a height of 1 foot. the water would turn a paddle wheel at the bottom causing a temperature of water to raise.

The height form which the water fell, mass and the temperature of water was measured and used to calculate mechanical equivalent of heat.

From the choices given the best answer is A. that the initial gravitational potential energy of the masses transformed into kinetic energy of the paddles and then to thermal energy in the water.

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

Time taken to complete one revolution is called time period.

So, Time period, T = 1 s

Diameter = 1.6 mm

radius, r = 0.8 mm

Let the angular speed is ω.

The relation between angular velocity and the time period is

\omega =\frac{2\pi}{T}

ω = 2 x 3.14 = 6.28 rad/s

The relation between the linear velocity and the angular velocity is

v = r x ω

v = 0.8 x 10^-3 x 6.28

v = 0.005 m/s

The drag force pushes opposite your motion as you ride a bicycle. If you double your speed, what happens to the magnitude of the
PIT_PIT [208]

The drag force is directly proportional to the square of the velocity of motion of the object. So as the speed is doubled, the magnitude of drag force will get quadrupled.

<u>Explanation: </u>

Drag force is the opposing or resisting force acting on any object by the medium in which it is moving. So in this case, you are riding a bicycle, thus the medium can be considered as air.

The formula for calculating drag force is as below:

               \text {Drag force }=\frac{1}{2} \rho v^{2} C_{D} A

Here, ρ is the density of the air molecules, v is the velocity or speed of the bicycle, CD is the drag coefficient and A is the area of the bicycle.

In the above equation, only the term velocity will be a varying quantity with respect to time and other quantities will remain constant throughout the single situation of riding of bicycle.

So, the equation can be,

             \text { Drag force }=k v^{2}

Where ,  

     k=\frac{1}{2} \rho C_{D} A (constant for this whole condition)

Now given the speed of bicycle increased from v to 2v, so the initial drag force will be

                   N_{i}=k v^{2}

After increase in speed, the final drag force will be  

                   N_{f}=k(2 v)^{2}

                   N_{f}=4 k v^{2}=4 N_{i}

Thus, if the speed of the bicycle is doubled, the drag force will get increased by four times.
