<h2>Answer:g=9.79 $ms^{-2}$ ,A object of mass $m$ at the surface of earth experiences a force $mg$ </h2>

Explanation:

Let $M$ be the mass of earth.

Let $R$ be the radius of earth.

Let $G$ be the universal gravitational constant.

Given,

$M=5.96\times 10^{24}Kg$

$R=6.37\times 10^{6}m$

$G=6.67259 \times 10^{-11}$ $Nm^{2}Kg^{-2}$

Let $g$ be the acceleration due to gravity.

Then, $g=\dfrac{GM}{R^{2}}$

$g=\frac{6.67259 \times 10^{-11}\times 5.96\times 10^{24}}{(6.37\times 10^{6})^{2}}$

$g=9.79ms^{-2}$

A object of mass $m$ at the surface of earth experiences a force $mg$

Briefly describe the formation of the planets from the solar nebula

saul85 [17]

<span>The formation of the Solar System began 4.6 billion years ago with the gravitational collapse of a small part of a giant molecular cloud. Most of the collapsing mass collected in the center, forming the Sun, while the rest flattened into a proto-planetary disk out of which the planets, moons, asteroids, and other small Solar System bodies formed.

Two point charges each have a value of 3.0 c and are separated by a distance of 4.0 m. what is the electric field at a point mid

swat32

<span>Place a test charge in the middle. It is 2cm away from each charge.
The electric field E= F/Q where F is the force at the point and Q is the charge causing the force in this point.
The test charge will have zero net force on it. The left 30uC charge will push it to the right and the right 30uC charge will push it to the left. The left and right force will equal each other and cancel each other out.
THIS IS A TRICK QUESTION.
THe electric field exactly midway between them = 0/Q = 0.
But if the point moves even slightly you need the following formula
F= (1/4Piε)(Q1Q2/D^2)
Assume your test charge is positive and make sure you remember two positive charges repel, two unlike charges attract. Draw the forces on the test charge out as vectors and find the magnetude of the force, then divide by the total charge to to find the electric field strength:)</span>

Sunitha can type 1800 words in half an hour. What is her typing speed in words per minute?

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

60words/minute

Explanation:

If Sunitha can type 1800 words in half an hour, this can be expressed as;

1800 words = 30 minutes

To get her typing speed per minute, we will use the formula

Speed = Number of words/Time used

Typing speed = 1800/30

Typing speed = 60words/minute

Hence her typing speed in words per minute is 60words/minute

Two polarizing sheets have their transmission axes crossed so that no light is transmitted. A third sheet is inserted so that it

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

a) I= I₀ (cos²θ - cos⁴θ) b) 75.5º

Explanation:

a) For this exercise we must use Malus's law

I = I₀ cos² θ

where tea is the angle between the two polarizers.

We apply this expression to our case

* Polarizer 1 suppose that it is vertical and polarizer 2 (intermediate) is at an angle θ with respect to the vertical

I₁ = I₀ cos² θ

* We analyze for the polarity 2 and the last polarizer 3 which indicate that it must be at 90º from the first one, therefore it must be horizontal.

The angle of polarizers 2 and 3 is θ' measured from the horizontal, if we measure with respect to the vertical

θ₂ = 90- θ’ = θ

fiate that in the exercise we must take a reference system and measure everything with respect to this system.

I = I₁ cos² θ'

we substitute

I = (I₀ cos² tea) cos² (θ - 90)

cos (θ -90) = cos θ cos 90 + sin θ sin 90 = sin θ

I = Io cos² θ sin² θ

1= cos²θ+ sin²θ

sin²θ = 1 - cos²θ

I= I₀ (cos²θ - cos⁴θ)

b) to find when the intensity is maximum,

we can use that we have an extreme point when the drift is zero

$\frac{dI}{d \theta}$ = 0

\frac{dI}{d \theta}= Io (2 cos θ - 4 cos³θ) = 0

whereby

cos θ - 2 cos³ θ = 0

cos θ ( 1 - 2 cos² θ) = 0

The zeros of this function are in

θ = 90º

1-2cos²θ =0 cos θ = 0.25 θ = 75.5º

Let's analyze this two results for the angle of 90º the intnesidd is zero with respect to the first polarizer, so it is not an acceptable solution.

Consequently, the angle that allows the maximum intensity to pass is 75.5º
