The acceleration due to gravity is g at the earth's surface. an earth satellite is orbiting at a distance from the earth's surfa

The acceleration due to gravity is g/4

The acceleration above the earth surface is given by the relation

g^'=gr^2/〖(h+r)〗^2

Since the satellite orbits the earth in a orbit of radius equal to earth radius, therefore

g^'=(gr^2)/〖(r+r)〗^2 =g/4

Thus the acceleration due to gravity on the satellite is g/4.

If its wavelength were doubled, its energy would be If its wavelength were doubled, its energy would be 4E. 2E. 12E. 14E.
ANEK [815]

The wavelength was doubled, and its energy will be increased by 4 times.

looking at the formula

energy E = MC^2

also, c = \lambda \times \nu

hence it is clear from above that energy is directly proportional to the square of the wavelength.

hence, The wavelength was doubled, and its energy will be increased by 4 times.

<h3>What is Wavelength?</h3>
  • The distance over which a periodic wave's shape repeats is known as the wavelength in physics.
  • It is a property of both traveling waves and standing waves as well as other spatial wave patterns. It is the distance between two successive corresponding locations of the same phase on the wave, such as two nearby crests, troughs, or zero crossings.
  • The spatial frequency is the reciprocal of the wavelength. The Greek letter lambda is frequently used to represent wavelength.
  • The term wavelength is occasionally used to describe modulated waves, their sinusoidal envelopes, or waves created by the interference of several sinusoids.

The total resistance of a parallel circuit is 25 ohms. If the total current is 100mA, how much current is through a 220 ohm resi
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

The current across the resistance is 0.011 A.

Explanation:

Total resistance, R = 25 ohms

Total current, I = 100 mA = 0.1 A

Let the voltage is V.

By the Ohm's law

V = I R

V = 0.1 x 25 = 2.5 V

Now the resistance is R' = 220 ohm

As they are in parallel so the voltage is same. Let the current is I'.

V = I' x R'

2.5 = I' x 220

I' = 0.011 A

You are designing a new home for a cold climate. You want one room in the house to be warmed by the Sun's energy. Which material
solniwko [45]

Answer:

glass if for a good view, but for absorbing heat concrete and brick is the best

Explanation:

wood is not a good idea bc it can cause fires from too much heat and it absorbs less heat but all of that depends on how good the material your using

A fan cart initially has an acceleration of 1.6m/s/s when it's fan is directed straight backwards. If you rotate the fan by 45°,
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

A Fan Cart Initially Has An Acceleration Of 1.6m/s/s When It's Fan Is Directed Straight Backwards. If You Rotate The Fan By 45o, By What Percentage Do You Expect The Fan Cart's Thrust To Decrease? (Answer Should Be In Units Of 96)

a. 45%

b. 29%

c. 71%

d. 50%

The correct answer is d.

d. 50%

Explanation:

Fan cart acceleration = 1.6 m/s²

Thrust = 0.25×π×D²×ρ×v×Δv

where Δv = acceleration component and all factors remaining cconstant, when the fan is rotated by 45 ° the diameter changes to D₂ = sin 45 ×D

or 0.707×D. The thrust becomes 0.25×π×(0.707×D)²×ρ×v×Δv

=0.25×π×0.5×D²×ρ×v×Δv or 0.5(0.25×π×D²×ρ×v×Δv)

That is the thrust reduces by 50 %
