Answer: Option A: The spots on the balloon move away as the balloon is inflated.

one of the scientific models describes the galaxies are moving apart as the universe is expanding. This expansion theory came from the observation of red-shifted spectrum from all the directions indicating that the galaxies are moving away. This can be understood from the inflated balloon. Initially spots can be marked using a colored pen on the balloon.On inflating the balloon, it would be noticed that the spots on the balloon move away. Actually the position of the spots won't change, but the distance between the spots would expand. This is a good model to explain the expanding universe. The galaxies are neither moving in any random direction nor moving forward. So, rest of the options are not good models to explain the theory.

Answer:

The new radius of the trajectory of the particle is four times the previous radius

Explanation:

In order to know what is the radius of the trajectory of the charged particle, if its speed is four times as fast, you take into account the following formula, which describes the radius of a charged particle in a magnetic field:

$r=\frac{mv}{qB}$ (1)

If the speed of the particle is for time as fast, that is, v' = 4v, you obtain, in the equation (1):

$r'=\frac{mv'}{qB}=\frac{m(4v)}{qB}=4\frac{mv}{qB}=4r$

The new radius of the trajectory of the particle is four times the previous radius

A man of mass 70 kg climbs stairs of vertical height 2.5m. Calculate the work done against the force of gravity. (Take g = 9.81

Alona [7]

Answer:

1716.75 J

Explanation:

Step 1: First check what we are provided with. As per given question we have:

mass (m) = 70 kg, height (h) = 2.5 m and acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.81 m/s².

Step 2: Check what we are asked to find out.

Work done = Change in Potential energy

The stuff required to solve this question is potential energy. Using the formula: P = mgh. Where P is Potential energy, m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is height.

Step 3: Substitute the known values in the above formula.

→ P = 70 × 2.5 × 9.81

→ P = 1716.75 J

Hence, the work done against the force of gravity is 1716.75 J.
