Lunar eclipses are more common because the moon and sun are not likely to align rather than the planets aligning.

Two concentric circular loops of radii b and 2b, made of the same type of wire, lie in the plane of the page, as shown below. Th
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

a. R2b = R/4

Explanation:

The total resistance of a metallic wire is given by the following formula:

R = ρL/A

where,

R = Resistance of Wire

ρ = Resistivity of the material of wire

L = Length of Wire

A = Area of Wire = πr²

Therefore,

R = ρL/πr²

for the 1st wire,

radius = r = b

Therefore,

R = ρL/πb²   ----------- equation 1

Now, for the second wire,

r = 2b

Therefore,

R2b = ρL/π(2b)²

R2b = ρL/πb²4

using equation 1:

R2b = R/4

therefore, correct option is:

<u>a. R2b = R/4</u>

sweet [91]

Answer:

The correctly equation is D) N2+ 3H2 → 2NH3

Explanation:

Both nitrogen and hydrogen are presented in bimolecular form (N2 and H2), on one side and on the other side of the equation we have 2 Nitrogens and 6 Hydrogens (it is balanced)

If you drop a baseball and let it fall, gravity from Earth pulls down on the baseball with 1.4 N of force. What is the reaction
myrzilka [38]

The reaction force in this situation occur once it hits the ground, and normal force from Earth's surface will push up on the ball with 1.4 N.

<em>The correct answer is option (</em><em>C</em><em>) </em>

<h3>What is Newton's third law of motion?</h3>

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action there is equal and opposite reaction.

Mathematically, this law is given as;

Fa = Fb

where;

  • Fa is the force applied by object A
  • Fb is the reaction experienced by object B

The force applied by object is equal and opposite the reaction experienced by object B.

When an object placed on the floor, the weight of the object acts downward while the normal reaction of the object acts upwards.

Thus, if you drop a baseball and let it fall, gravity from Earth pulls down on the baseball with 1.4 N of force, the reaction force will occur once it hits the ground, as the normal force from Earth's surface will push up on the ball with 1.4 N.
