Answer:

B) four times

Explanation:

Area of 6 meter telescope

$A_1=\pi \frac{D^2}{4}\\\Rightarrow A_1=9\pi$

Area of 3 meter telescope

$A_2=\pi \frac{D^2}{4}\\\Rightarrow A_1=2.25\pi$

Dividing the equations we get

$\frac{A_1}{A_2}=\frac{9\pi}{2.25\pi}\\\Rightarrow A_1=4A_2$

Hence, the 6-meter telescope has 4 times the light-collecting area of the 3-meter telescope.

A gas expands against a constant external pressure of 2.00 atm until its volume has increased from 6.00 to 10.00 L. During this

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

ΔU = - 310.6 J (negative sign indicates decrease in internal energy)

W = 810.6 J

Explanation:

a.

Using first law of thermodynamics:

Q = ΔU + W

where,

Q = Heat Absorbed = 500 J

ΔU = Change in Internal Energy of Gas = ?

W = Work Done = PΔV =

P = Pressure = 2 atm = 202650 Pa

ΔV = Change in Volume = 10 L - 6 L = 4 L = 0.004 m³

Therefore,

Q = ΔU + PΔV

500 J = ΔU + (202650 Pa)(0.004 m³)

ΔU = 500 J - 810.6 J

<u>ΔU = - 310.6 J (negative sign indicates decrease in internal energy)</u>

<u></u>

b.

The work done can be simply calculated as:

W = PΔV

W = (202650 Pa)(0.004 m³)

<u>W = 810.6 J</u>

A transformer consists of a 500 turn primary coil and a 2000-turnsecondary coil. If the current in the secondary is 3.0A, what i

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

The correct solution will be "12.0 A".

Explanation:

The given values are:

$N_p= 500 \ turn$

$N_s= 200 \ turn$

$I_s= 3.0 \ A$

By using the transformer formula, we get

⇒ $\frac{N_p}{N_s} =\frac{I_s}{I_p}$

⇒ $I_p = I_s\times \frac{N_s}{N_p}$

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒ $=3.0 \ A\times \frac{2000}{500}$

⇒ $=12.0 \ A$

An artificial satellite is in a circular orbit around a planet of radius r= 2.05 x103 km at a distance d 310.0 km from the plane

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

$\rho = 12580.7 kg/m^3$

Explanation:

As we know that the satellite revolves around the planet then the centripetal force for the satellite is due to gravitational attraction force of the planet

So here we will have

$F = \frac{GMm}{(r + h)^2}$

here we have

$F =\frac {mv^2}{(r+ h)}$

$\frac{mv^2}{r + h} = \frac{GMm}{(r + h)^2}$

here we have

$v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{(r + h)}}$

now we can find time period as

$T = \frac{2\pi (r + h)}{v}$

$T = \frac{2\pi (2.05 \times 10^6 + 310 \times 10^3)}{\sqrt{\frac{GM}{(r + h)}}}$

$1.15 \times 3600 = \frac{2\pi (2.05 \times 10^6 + 310 \times 10^3)}{\sqrt{\frac{(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(M)}{(2.05 \times 10^6 + 310 \times 10^3)}}}$

$M = 4.54 \times 10^{23} kg$

Now the density is given as

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

$\rho = \frac{4.54 \times 10^{23}}{\frac{4}[3}\pi(2.05 \times 10^6)^3}$

$\rho = 12580.7 kg/m^3$
