Answer:

a_E=\dfrac{Gm}{r^2}

Explanation:

M_E = Mass of the Earth =  5.972 × 10²⁴ kg

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

r = Radius of Earth = 6371000 m

m = Mass of person

The force on the person will balance the gravitational force

M_Ea_E=\dfrac{GmM_E}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow a_E=\dfrac{Gm}{r^2}

The acceleration that the Earth will feel is a_E=\dfrac{Gm}{r^2}

In one cycle a heat engine absorbs 450 J from a high-temperature reservoir and expels 290 J to a low-temperature reservoir. If t
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

So the ratio will be \frac{T_L}{T_H}=-0.171

Explanation:

We have given heat engine absorbs 450 joule from high temperature reservoir

So Q=450j

As the heat engine expels 290 j

So work done W = 290 J

We know that efficiency \eta =\frac{W}{Q}=\frac{290}{450}=0.6444

It is given that efficiency of the engine only 55 % of Carnot engine

So efficiency of Carnot engine =\frac{0.6444}{0.55}=1.171

Efficiency of Carnot engine is \eta =1-\frac{T_L}{T_H}

1.171 =1-\frac{T_L}{T_H}

\frac{T_L}{T_H}=-0.171

alexira [117]

Answer:

explained

Explanation:

Yes, the heating of filament is what causes the light production (photon emission), and this heating is caused because of current in the light bulb

(H= i^2*R*t i=current, H= heat, t= time and R= resistance).But using constant current source is not a good idea because in constant current source resistance is very low that can cause short circuit and ultimately fusing it. Whereas in constant voltage source current adjusts itself and prevents fusing because of high resistance in the circuit.

A particle with a charge of 5 × 10–6 C and a mass of 20 g moves uniformly with a speed of 7 m/s in a circular orbit around a sta
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

r = 0.22m

Explanation:

To find the radius of the circular trajectory, you first take into account that the centripetal force of the charged particle, is equal to the electric force between the particle that is moving and the particle at the center of the orbit.

Then, you have:

F_c=F_e=ma_c      (1)

m: mass of the particle = 20g = 20*10-3 kg

ac: centripetal acceleration = ?

q: charge of the particle = 5*10^-6C

Fe: electric force between the charges

The electric force is given by:

F_e=k\frac{qq'}{r^2}             (2)

r: radius of the orbit

q': charge of the particle at the center of the orbit = -5*10^-6C

Furthermore, the centripetal acceleration is:

a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}                 (3)

v: speed of the particle = 7m/s

You replace the expressions (2) and (3) in the equation (1) and solve for r:

k\frac{qq'}{r^2}=m\frac{v^2}{r}\\\\r=\frac{kqq'}{mv^2}

Finally, you replace the values of all parameters in the previous expression:

r=\frac{(8.98*10^9Nm^2/C^2)(5*10^{-6}C)(5*10^{-6}C)}{(20*10^{-3}kg)(7m/s)^2}\\\\r=0.22m

The radius of the circular trajectory is 0.22m

How many atoms of each element are in the chemical formula P205?
Irina-Kira [14]

2 atoms of P (phosphorus) and 5 atoms of O (oxygen)

Explanation:

The chemical formula of a generic compound is written as

A_n B_m

where

A and B are the symbols of the elements contained in the compound

n and m are the number of atoms of each element, A and B respectively

In this problem, the compound given is

P_2 O_5

where:

- P is the symbol of the chemical element phosphorus

- O is the symbol of the chemical element oxygen

We see that the number following P is 2, so there are 2 atoms of phosphorus, while the number following O is 5, so there are 5 atoms of oxygen.
