Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity depends on the mass of planet and the radius of planet .

As the value of acceleration due to gravity on moon is one sixth of the acceleration due to gravity on earth.

g = GM / R^2

Where, G is the universal gravitational constant, M be the mass of planet, R be the radius of planet.

As the mass of moon is much lesser than the mass of earth so the value of acceleration due to gravity on moon is one sixth of the acceleration due to gravity on earth.

<span>So we want to know why is there a difference between the force of gravity on the Moon and the force of gravity of the Earth. So the gravitational force between two objects depends on the masses of both objects. That can be seen from Newtons universal law of gravity. F=G*m1*m2*(1/r^2). So lets say we are holding an object of mass m=1kg on a height r=1m on the Moon and we are holding the same object on the Earth also on the same height of r=1m. The Gravitational force on the Earth will be Fg=G*M*m*(r^2) where M is the mass of the Earth. The force between the moon and that object will be Fg=G*n*m*(r^2), where n is the mass of the moon. Since mass of the Moon is much smaller than mass of the Earth, The gravitational force between the Moon and that body will be almost 6 times smaller than the gravitational force between the Earth and that body. So the correct answer is B. </span>

When celery is placed in a glass of pure water the solution inside its cells is _____ compared to the water.?
kow [346]
The correct answer to the question above is hypertonic. When celery is being placed in a glass of pure water, the solution inside its cells is going to appear as hypertonic compared to the water. This means that the cells inside has a higher concentration than outside.

Assume a rectangular strip of a material with an electron density of n=5.8x1020 cm-3. The strip is 8 mm wide and 0.8 mm thick an
vampirchik [111]

Answer: I = 111.69 pA

Explanation: The hall effect is all about the fact that when a semiconductor is placed perpendicularly to a magnetic field, a voltage is generated which could be measured at right angle to the current path. This voltage is known as the hall voltage.

The hall voltage of a semiconductor sensor is given below as

V = I×B/qnd

Where V = hall voltage = 1.5mV =1.5/1000=0.0015V

I = current =?,

n= concentration of charge (electron density) = 5.8×10^20cm^-3 = 5.8×10^20/(100)³ = 5.8×10^14 m^-3

q = magnitude of an electronic charge=1.609×10^-19c

B = strength of magnetic field = 5T

d = thickness of sensor = 0.8mm = 0.0008m

By slotting in the parameters, we have that

0.0015 = I × 5/5.8×10^14 × 1.609×10^-19×0.0008

0.0015 = I×5/7.446×10^-8

I = (0.0015 × 7.446×10^-8)/5

I = 111.69*10^(-12)

I = 111.69 pA

Dolphin echolocation is similar to ultrasound. Reflected sound waves
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Waves with high frequencies have shorter wavelengths that work better  than low frequency waves for successful echolocation.

Explanation:

To understand why high-frequency waves work better  than low frequency waves for successful echolocation, first we have to understand the relation between frequency and wavelength.

The relation between frequency and wavelength is given by

λ = c/f

Where λ is wavelength, c is the speed of light and f is the frequency.

Since the speed of light is constant, the wavelength and frequency are inversely related.

So that means high frequency waves have shorter wavelengths, which is the very reason for the successful echolocation because waves having shorter wavelength are more likely to reach and hit the target and then reflect back to the dolphin to form an image of the object.

Thus, waves with high frequencies have shorter wavelengths that work better  than low frequency waves for successful echolocation.

Estimate the wavelength of electrons that have been accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 60 kV.
ivolga24 [154]

Answer: 2.068*10^{-14}m

Explanation: According to work energy-theorem , the workdone in accelerating the electron equals the energy it would give off in terms of light.

workdone= qV

energy = hc/λ

q=magnitude of an electronic charge= 1.602*10^{-16}

h= planck constant = 6.626*10^{-34}

c= speed of light =2.998* 10^{8}

v= potential difference= 6*10^{4}

λ= wavelength=unknown

by making λ subject of formulae we have that

λ= \frac{hc}{qv}

λ = 6.626*10^{-34} * 2.998* 10^{8} / 1.602*10^{-16} * 6*10^{4}

λ = \frac{19.878*10^{-26} }{9.612*10^{-12} }

by doing the necessary calculations, we have that

λ = 2.068*10^{-14}m
