An astronaut takes a book onto the space shuttle. An identical book remains on earth . Which statements about the pull of earth'

s gravity on the books is true?
A. The pull of earth's gravity is the same on both books because they are identical.
B. Earth's gravity has a stronger pull on the book when it is on earth than when it is in space.
C. Earth's gravity has a weaker pull on the book when it is on earth than when it is in space.
D. The pull of earth's gravity is the same on both books because they have the same mass.

B. Earth's gravity has a stronger pull on the book when it is on earth than when it is in space.

When objects move farther away from the earth’s, the force of gravity on these objects gradually decline although their mass remains constant.

A circular loop of radius 11.9 cm is placed in a uniform magnetic field. (a) If the field is directed perpendicular to the plane
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

(a). The strength of the magnetic field is 0.1933 T.

(b). The magnetic flux through the loop is zero.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius = 11.9 cm

Magnetic flux \phi=8.60\times10^{-3}\ T m^2

(a). We need to calculate the strength of the magnetic field

Using formula of magnetic flux

\phi=BA\cos\theta

\phi=BA\cos0

\phi=BA

B=\dfrac{\phi}{A}

B=\dfrac{\phi}{\pi r^2}

Put the value into the formula

B=\dfrac{8.60\times10^{-3}}{\pi\times(11.9\times10^{-2})^2}

B=0.1933\ T

(b). If the magnetic field is directed parallel to the plane of the loop,

We need to calculate the magnetic flux through the loop

Using formula of flux

\phi=BA\cos\theta

Here, \theta=90^{\circ}

\phi=BA\cos90

\phi=0

Hence, (a). The strength of the magnetic field is 0.1933 T.

(b). The magnetic flux through the loop is zero.

How would the terminal velocity of a piece of tissue paper compare to the terminal velocity of a rock?
matrenka [14]

Answer: Rock require larger drag force and to achieve it rock need to move at a very high terminal velocity.  

Explanation: Terminal velocity is defined as the final velocity attained by an object falling under the gravity. At this moment weight is balanced by the air resistance or drag force and body falls with zero acceleration i.e. with a constant velocity.

Case 1: Terminal velocity of a piece of tissue paper.

The weight of tissue paper is very less and it experiences an air resistance while falling downward under the effect of gravity.

Downward gravitational force, F = mg

Upward air resistance or friction or drag force will be f_{1}

So, paper will attain terminal velocity when mg =  f_{1}

Case 2: Rock is very heavy and require larger air resistance to balance the weight of rock relative to the tissue paper case.

Downward force on rock, F = Mg

Drag force = f_{2}

Rock will attain terminal velocity when Mg = f_{2}

Mg > mg

so, f_{2} > f_{1}

And rock require larger drag force and to achieve it rock need to move at a very high terminal velocity.
