1 answer:
Advocard [28]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

a force that attracts matter to the earth

Explanation:

depends on where you are the gravity can be different in space there is no gravity on Earth there is , that's why when you jump you come back down

Would a bond between potassium and iodine most likely be covalent or ionic? Explain your answer
Ugo [173]
A covalent bond is between two nonmetals. An ionic bond is between a metal and a nonmetal. Potassium is a metal and iodine is a nonmetal, so their bond would most likely be ionic.

Which asteroid has more potential energy an asteroid that is closest to the sun or an asteroid that is farthest away from the su
Sloan [31]

When the comet is closest to the Sun,
it has its maximum kinetic energy
and minimum gravitational potential energy. When the comet is far away from the Sun, it has maximum gravitational potential energy and minimal kinetic energy. It's faster when it's close because the Sun's gravity is pulling the comet closer. The opposite for when it gets farther away

A charge Q is uniformly spread over one surface of a very large nonconducting square elastic sheet having sides of length d. At
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

E/4

Explanation:

The formula for electric field of a very large (essentially infinitely large) plane of charge is given by:

E = σ/(2ε₀)

Where;

E is the electric field

σ is the surface charge density

ε₀ is the electric constant.

Formula to calculate σ is;

σ = Q/A

Where;

Q is the total charge of the sheet

A is the sheet's area.

We are told the elastic sheet is a square with a side length as d, thus ;

A = d²

So;

σ = Q/d²

Putting Q/d² for σ in the electric field equation to obtain;

E = Q/(2ε₀d²)

Now, we can see that E is inversely proportional to the square of d i.e.

E ∝ 1/d²

The electric field at P has some magnitude E. We now double the side length of the sheet to 2L while keeping the same amount of charge Q distributed over the sheet.

From the relationship of E with d, the magnitude of electric field at P will now have a quarter of its original magnitude which is;

E_new = E/4

Which statement correctly describes the relationship between the energy of a wave and the wave's amplitude?
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

High energy waves have high amplitudes

Explanation:

The sound is perceived as louder if the amplitude increases, and softer if the amplitude decreases. ... The amplitude of a wave is related to the amount of energy it carries. A high amplitude wave carries a large amount of energy; a low amplitude wave carries a small amount of energy

A light beam is directed parallel to the axis of a hollow cylindrical tube. When the tube contains only air, the light takes 8.7
monitta

Answer:

Explanation:

velocity of light in a medium of refractive index V = V₀ / μ

V₀  is velocity of light in air and μ is refractive index of light.

time to travel in tube with air =  length of tube / velocity of light

8.72 ns = L / V₀  L is length of tube .

time to travel in tube with jelly =  length of tube / velocity of light

8.72+ 1.82  = L / V  L is length of tube .

10.54 ns = L / V

dividing the equations

10.54 / 8.72 = V₀  / V

10.54 / 8.72 =   μ

1.21 =  μ

refractive index of jelly = 1.21 .
