A man stands on a scale and holds a heavy object in his hands. What happens to the scale reading if the man quickly lifts the ob

ject upward and then stops lifting it?

Answer:

Explanation:

When he accelerates the heavy object up , the reading increases because an extra downward normal force acts on it, then scale reading returns to the same reading as when standing stationary, and then decreases as although he is lifting the heavy object , the acceleration is decreasing ,so the extra upward normal force acts.

In 1610, galileo used his telescope to discover four prominent moons around jupiter. their mean orbital radii a and periods t ar

katrin2010 [14]

Time period of any moon of Jupiter is given by

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{r^3}{GM}}$

from above formula we can say that mass of Jupiter is given by

$M = \frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}$

now for part a)

$r = 4.22 * 10^8 m$

T = 1.77 day = 152928 seconds

now by above formula

$M = \frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}$

$M = \frac{4 \pi^2 (4.22 * 10^8)^3}{(6.67 * 10^{-11})(152928)^2}$

$M = 1.9* 10^{27} kg$

Part B)

$r = 6.71 * 10^8 m$

T = 3.55 day = 306720 seconds

now by above formula

$M = \frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}$

$M = \frac{4 \pi^2 (6.71 * 10^8)^3}{(6.67 * 10^{-11})(306720)^2}$

$M = 1.9* 10^{27} kg$

Part c)

$r = 10.7 * 10^8 m$

T = 7.16 day = 618624 seconds

now by above formula

$M = \frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}$

$M = \frac{4 \pi^2 (10.7 * 10^8)^3}{(6.67 * 10^{-11})(618624)^2}$

$M = 1.89* 10^{27} kg$

PART D)

$r = 18.8 * 10^8 m$

T = 16.7 day = 1442880 seconds

now by above formula

$M = \frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}$

$M = \frac{4 \pi^2 (18.8 * 10^8)^3}{(6.67 * 10^{-11})(1442880)^2}$

$M = 1.889* 10^{27} kg$

Answer:

a

Explanation:

as the copper wire is very dangerous so now if these two thing happens then it would easily help the current flows through it so it might be a little bit easy for the current to flow through it

Which tuning forks will give rise to a beat frequency of 20 Hz when sounded together with a 240 Hz tuning fork?

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Use the concept of beat frequency to find the applicable final freqeuncy for 20Hz beat frequency.

Beat can be defined as 'the interference pattern between two sounds of slightly different frequencies0

The expression for beat frequency is given as

$f_{beat} = |f_1-f_2|$

Where,

$f_2 =$ Final frequency

$f_1 =$ Initial frequency

The beat frequency for us is 25Hz and the initial frequency is 240Hz, then

$20= |f_2-240|$

Being an absolute value, two values are possible, both in addition and subtraction:

$f_2 = 240 \pm 20$

The two possible values are

$f_2 = 220Hz$

$f_2 = 260Hz$
