Answer:

The biggest difference is that gravity is an attractive force while electromagnetism is both an attractive and repelling force. Gravity happens between two objects depending on their masses, while electromagnetism is dependent on the objects' electric charges and the distance between them.

What is the mass of a bicycle that has 90 kg.m/s of momentum at a speed of 6 m/s?

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

m = 15 kg

Explanation:

p = m × v

90 = m × 6

6m = 90

m = 90/6

m = 15 kg

When the cornea and lens of the eye do not properly focus

frutty [35]

Answer:

When there is nearsightedness or myopia

Explanation:

As, in myopia the image is formed in front of the retina.

Which makes things looking at things near very easy, but looking at far away things very difficult.

So concave lens makes things look bigger, so therefore, it is used during myopia, to make things look bigger when they are far away

A plane drops a hamper of medical supplies from a height of 5000 m during a practice run over the ocean. The plane’s horizontal

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

346.70015 m/s

Explanation:

In the x axis speed is

$v_x=149\ m/s$

In the y axis

$v_y=\sqrt{2gh}\\\Rightarrow v_y=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 5000}$

The resultant velocity is given by

$v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{149^2+2\times 9.8\times 5000}\\\Rightarrow v=346.70015\ m/s$

The magnitude of the overall velocity of the hamper at the instant it strikes the surface of the ocean is 346.70015 m/s

We divide the electromagnetic spectrum into six major categories of light, listed below. Rank these forms of light from left to

makkiz [27]

electromagnetic spectrum is consisting of many frequency range which is from gamma rays to radio waves

they are of various wavelength and different energy levels

minimum wavelength will occurs at Gamma rays

and maximum wavelength at Radio waves

the list of increasing order of wavelength is as following

Gamma rays < X rays < Ultraviolet < Visible Light < Infrared Waves < Radio Waves

so least to maximum order is

1. Gamma rays

2. X rays

3 Ultraviolet

4 Visible light

5 Infrared waves

6 Radio waves

A machine that operates a ride at the fair requires 2500 J to lift a 294 N child 5.0 m. What is the efficiency of this machine?

NeX [460]

Answer:

η = 58.8%

Explanation:

Work is defined as the force applied by the distance traveled by the body.

$W =F*d$

where:

W = work [J] (units of joules)

F = force = 294 [N]

d = distance = 5 [m]

$W = 294*5\\W = 1470 [J]\\$

Efficiency is defined as the energy required to perform an activity in relation to the energy actually added to perform some activity. This can be better understood by means of the following equation.

$efficiency = W_{done}/W_{required}\\efficiency = 1470/2500\\efficiency = 0.588 = 58.8%$
