Which of the following graphs shows the relationship between two variables that obey the inverse square law?​

Physics

blondinia [14]3 years ago

Well, if we've been paying attention in class, we already KNOW that the electrostatic force changes as the inverse square of the distance, and the top graph is conveniently labeled "Electrostatic Force".

But if we didn't already know that, we'd have to examine the graphs, and find the one where 'y' changes like 1/x² .

The top graph does that.  After 1 unit of time, the force is 350.  Double the time to 2 units, and the force should drop to 1/4 of 350 ... sure enough, it's a little less than 90.  Double the time again, to 4 units, and it should drop to 1/4 of a little less than 90 ... by golly, it's down below 30.

The first graph is what an inverse square looks like.  Now that you've worked out this graph, you'll know an inverse square relationship whenever you see it.

Your family is going to drive to your grandma's house for Christmas dinner. You set the car's odometer to 0 before you leave. Wh
Sati [7]

Answer:

Distance = 85.3 miles

displacement = 0

Explanation:

The total distance covered to grandma's house is 42.6 miles as recorded by the odometer. The same distance would be covered when returning to the base. Hence;

Total distance for the round trip = 42.6 + 42.6 = 85.2 miles

Since the trip was a round trip, the displacement is zero because the family returned to their initial location.

Your local AM radio station broadcasts at a frequency of f = 1100 kHz. The electric-field component of the signal you receive at
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

(a) 272.73 m

(b) 0.338 N/C

Explanation:

frequency, f = 1100 kHz = 1100 x 1000 Hz

E(t) = Eo Sin(2πft)

Eo = 0.62 N/C

(a) Velocity of light, c = 3 x 10^8 m/s

wavelength, λ = c / f = (3 x 10^8) / (1100000) = 272.73 m

Thus, the wavelength is 272.73 m.

(b) at t = 3.1 microsecond = 3.1 x 10^-6 s

E = Eo Sin (2 π ft)

E = 0.62 Sin (2 x 3.14 x 1100 x 10^3 x 3.1 x 10^-6)

E = 0.62 Sin (21.4148)

E = 0.62 x 0.5449 = 0.338 N/C

Thus, the electric field at t = 3.1 microsecond s 0.338 N/C.
