Answer:

Mass and thus force depends on the reference frame chosen

Explanation:

This can be explained as Newton's law of gravity provides action which are instantaneous at a distance and involves the evaluation of all the quantities at present time or at the instant they occur.

If the body undergoes a change in its mass distribution there will be an immediate change in its gravitational force without any lag.

Now, if we talk about special relativity, it would be absurd to say that an information can travel faster than light. The effect is in synchronization with the cause in one reference frame where the effect occurs after the cause for some observer in some other reference frame.

In order to observe Newton's law of gravity all the observer's in different reference frames must observe the same phenomena which could only be possible if time were absolute and in special relativity, time is not absolute.

Therefore, Newton's law of gravity was inconsistent with the Einstein's Special Relativity.

Scientists studying an anomalous magnetic field find that it is inducing a circular electric field in a plane perpendicular to t

bija089 [108]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Scientists studying an anomalous magnetic field find that it is inducing a circular electric field in a plane perpendicular to the magnetic field. The electric field strength 1.5 m from the center of the circle is 7 mV/m.

At what rate is the magnetic field changing?

Answer:

the magnetic field changing at the rate of 9.33 m T/s

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Electric field E = 7 mV/m

radius r = 1.5 m

Now, from Faraday law of induction;

∫E.dl = d∅/dt

E∫dl = A( dB/dt )

E( 2πr ) = πr² ( dB/dt )

( 0.007 ) = (r/2) ( dB/dt )

( 0.007 ) = 0.75 ( dB/dt )

dB/dt = 0.007 / 0.75

dB/dt = 0.00933 T/s

dB/dt = ( 0.00933 × 1000) m T/s

dB/dt = 9.33 m T/s

Therefore, the magnetic field changing at the rate of 9.33 m T/s

A student drops a rock from a bridge to the water 12.7 m below. with what speed does the rock strike the water? the acceleration

kolezko [41]

The rock strike the water with the speed of 15.78 m/sec.

The speed by which rock hit the water is calculated by the formula

v= $\sqrt{2gh}$

v= $\sqrt{2*9.8*12.7}$

v=15.78 m/sec

Hence, the rock strike the water with the speed of 15.78 m/sec.

A backyard swimming pool with a circular base of diameter 6.00m is filled to depth 1.50m. (b) Two persons with combined mass 150

Mashutka [201]

The pressure increase at the bottom of the pool after they enter the pool and float is 106.103 Pa.

<h3>What is absolute pressure?</h3>

Absolute pressure is the force that exists in a space when there is no matter present, or when there is a perfect vacuum. This absolute zero serves as the baseline for measurements in absolute pressure. The measurement of barometric pressure is the greatest illustration of an absolute referenced pressure. In order to determine absolute pressure, a complete vacuum is used. In contrast, gauge pressure is the amount of pressure that is measured in relation to atmospheric pressure, also referred to as barometric pressure.

given,

diameter = 6 m

depth = h = 1.5 m

Atmospheric pressure = P₀ = 10⁵ Pa

a) absolute pressure

P = P₀ + ρ g h

P = 10⁵ + 1000 x 10 x 1.5

P = 1.15 x 10⁵ Pa

b) When two person enters into the pool,

mass of the two person = 150 Kg

weight of water level displaced exists equal to the weight of person.
