The classical physics works on the Newton's laws of motion. It is applicable on heavenly bodies which are governed by the gravitational force. On the other hand, Quantum Physics is applicable for very low mass and sized bodies like electron, protons etc. The classical physics would accurately describe the motion of satellite moving with speed 7500 m/s using the following formula:

r=\frac {GM}{v^{2}}

where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the planet and v is the orbital speed. Then radius of the orbit can be described by this formula.

A circuit has a current of 1.2 A. If the voltage decreases to one third of its original amount while the resistance remains cons
Katen [24]
When resistance is constant, current is proportional to voltage. When 1/3 the voltage is applied, 1/3 the current will result.

(1/3)*(1.2 A) = 0.4 A

The resulting current will be 0.4 A.

A -1.12 μC charge is placed at the center of a conducting spherical shell, and a total charge of +8.65 μC is placed on the shell
Lisa [10]

Answer: 7.53 μC

Explanation: In order to explain this problem  we have to use the gaussian law so we have:

∫E.dS=Qinside/εo we consider a gaussian surface inside the conducting spherical shell so E=0

Q inside= 0 = q+ Qinner surface=0

Q inner surface= 1.12μC so in the outer surface the charge is (8.65-1.12)μC=7.53μC

Which of the following quantities are unknown?
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

unknow e and f

Explanation:

In experiments with alpha particles that are obtained by the method of radioactive decay of atoms, some parameters are known

a) Known. The initial velocity is given by the energy of the particles entities by the atomic nuclei

b) Known. The particle charge always 2e, helium core

c) Known. It is set in the given experiment, in general it is selected as zero

d) Known. Placed by the experimenter

e) Unknown. The speed depends on the interactions with the system

f) Unknown. It depends on the interactions with the system, because the position depends on the interactions

g) Known. It is always the value of a helium nucleo

A certain lightbulb has a tungsten filament with a resistance of 26 Ω when cold and 170 Ω when hot. If the equation R = R0 [1 +
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Explanation: The equation that relates resistance of tungsten at different temperatures is as follows

R = R₀ [1 + α ∆T]  , R₀ is resistance at lower temperature , R is resistance at higher temperature . α is temperature coefficient of resistivity and ∆T is rise in temperature .

Putting the values

170 = 26 [1 + .0045 ∆T]

∆T = 1230.75

lower temperature = 40◦C

higher temperature = 1230 + 40

= 1270◦C
