An astronaut lands on a new planet. The new planet’s mass is half that of the

Ah hah !  Very nice problem.

-- Since the mass is 1/2 of the Earth's mass, the gravitational forces between him
and the new planet would be 1/2 of what they are on Earth.

-- Since the distance between him and the center of the new planet is 1/2 of the
distance between him and the Earth's center, the gravitational forces between him
and the new planet would be (2)² = 4 times what they are on Earth.

-- These conditions combine to make his weight  (1/2) x (4) = 2 times his earth weight.

-- He weighs 1,000 N (about 224.8 pounds) on the new planet.

(Maybe that's why they selected an astronaut for this mission who only weighs
about 112.5 pounds on Earth.)

What is the speed of sound at the atmospheric temperature of 30°C?
12345 [234]

The parcel will undergo projectile motion, which means that it will have motion in both the horizontal and vertical direction.


First, we determine how long the parcel will fall using:


s = ut + 1/2 at²


where s will be the height, u is the initial vertical velocity of the parcel (0), t is the time of fall and a is the acceleration due to gravity.


5.5 = (0)(t) + 1/2 (9.81)(t)²

t = 1.06 seconds

A 10-kg piece of aluminum sits at the bottom of a lake, right next to a 10-kg piece of lead, which is much denser than aluminum.
zalisa [80]

Answer:

Aluminium

Explanation:

When a body is immersed in a liquid partly or wholly it experiences an upward force which is called buoyant force.

The amount of buoyant force depends on the volume of body immersed, density of liquid and the value of acceleration due to gravity.

Here, the density of liquid is same in both the cases and g be the same. So, here the amount of buoyant force depends on the volume of body immersed.

As the density of lead is more than the density of aluminium, so the volume of aluminium is more than lead, as volume is equal to mass divided by density. So, the buoyant force acting on the aluminium is more than lead.

Compare green and orange light from the visible spectrum. You are currently in a labeling module. Turn off browse mode or quick
77julia77 [94]

Green: nm 495–570. Yellow: nm 570–590. 590–620 nm for orange. Red: 620-750 nm (400–484 THz frequency)

Solids' molecules are strongly attracted to one another. As a result, the molecules are barely moving and tightly packed. Because of this, shape and volume are fixed.

The forces of attraction and repulsion in liquids are comparable. Compared to the solid state, they move a little bit more. They then assume the shape of the container while still having a fixed capacity.

The attraction forces between the molecules in gases are quite weak. They move quite freely and grow in an effort to fill as much space as they can. Consequently, their volume and shape vary (adopt the shape of the container).

A toroidal coil of N turns has a central radius b and a square cross section of side a. Find its self-inductance.
Xelga [282]

Answer:

L = \frac{\mu_0 N^2 (a^2)}{2\pi b}

Explanation:

As we know that magnetic field due to torroid is given as

B = \frac{\mu_0 N i}{2\pi b}

this is approximately constant magnetic field along the axis of the torroid

now the flux linked with one coil of the torroid is given as

\phi = B.A

\phi = \frac{\mu_0 N i}{2\pi b}(a^2)

now total flux of N number of coils is given as

\phi_{total} = \frac{\mu_0 N^2 i(a^2)}{2\pi b}

now we know that self inductance is the property of coil in which flux of the coil will link with the current in the coil

So we know that

L = \frac{\phi}{i}

L = \frac{\mu_0 N^2 (a^2)}{2\pi b}
