Answer:

The gravitational field at any point is independent of the objects placed at that point such as a stone or paper.

And, also the gravitational force acting on a body is determined by the intensity of the field at that point.

Explanation:

Given,

The gravitational force between two bodies separated by a distance r is given by the relation,

                              F =  GMm / r²

Where,

                    M - the mass of the Earth

                    m - the mass of the object

                     r - the distance between the center of masses

Let m₁ be the mass of rock. Then force acting on the rock is given by

                                    F = m₁a

The gravitational force between the stone and Earth is given by

                                    F = GMm₁ / r²

Equating these two forces

                                     m₁a = GMm₁ / r²

Canceling out the mass of the stone.

This shows that the force component acceleration is independent of the mass of the stone.

Hence, it implies that the gravitational field at any point is independent of the objects placed at that point such as a stone or paper.

And, also the gravitational force acting on a body is determined by the intensity of the field at that point.

A bar magnet is dropped toward a conducting ring lying on the floor. As the magnet falls toward the ring, does it move as a free
Maslowich

Consider that the bar magnet has a magnetic field that is acting around it, which will imply that there is a change in the magnetic flux through the loop whenever it moves towards the conducting loop. This could be described as an induction of the electromotive Force in the circuit from Faraday's law.

In turn by Lenz's law, said electromotive force opposes the change in the magnetic flux of the circuit. Therefore, there is a force that opposes the movement of the bar magnet through the conductor loop. Therefore, the bar magnet does not suffer free fall motion.

The bar magnet does not move as a freely falling object.

For a certain RLC circuit the maximum generator EMF is 125 V and the maximum current is 3.20 A. If le a) the impedance of the ci
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

Part (i)

Z = 39.06 ohm

Part (ii)

R = 21.7 ohm

Explanation:

a) here we know that

maximum value of EMF = 125 V

maximum value of current = 3.20 A

now by ohm's law we can find the impedence as

z = \frac{V_o}{i_o}

now we will have

z = \frac{125}{3.20} = 39.06 ohm

Part b)

Now we also know that

\frac{R}{z} = cos\theta

\theta = 0.982 rad = 56.3 degree

now we have

\frac{R}{39.06} = cos56.3

R = 21.7 ohm

Young's Modulus refers to changes in the: a- Volume b- Length c- Body layers
bekas [8.4K]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option b.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Young's Modulus is defined as the ratio of stress acting on a substance to the amount of strain produced.

Stress is defined as force per unit area and strain is defined as proportional deformation in a material.

The equation representing Young's Modulus is:

Y=\frac{F/A}{\Delta l/l}=\frac{Fl}{A\Delta l}

where,

Y = Young's Modulus

F = force exerted by the weight

l = length of wire

A = area of cross section

\Delta l = change in length

Hence, the correct answer is Option b.
