Answer:

Explanation:

When you sit by a campfire, most of the heat you are receiving from the fire does not come from hot air. ... This radiation carries energy which is converted to heat when it hits another object and is absorbed. In contrast, conduction involves the direct movement of heat through an object.

Why don't the planets move exactly along the ecliptic?

AVprozaik [17]

As seen from the Earth, the Sun, Moon, and planets all appear to move along the ecliptic. ... Unlike the Sun, however, the planets don't always move in the same direction along the ecliptic. They usually move in the same direction as the Sun, but from time to time they seem to slow down, stop, and reverse direction!

Because of various events in their (unknown) past history that resulted in deviations from the theoretical orbit. That formed in the plain of the ecliptic.

Capturing a large passing comet or asteroid might do it.

A toy cart at the end of a string 0.70 m long moves in a circle on a table. The cart has a mass of 2.0 kg and the string has a b

luda_lava [24]

Given that the mass of the toy cart is 2.0 kg and and the acceleration is unknown, the normal formula would be a=f/m where a is acceleration, f is force and m is mass but the string's breaking strength is 40n so I think the formula in this case will be f is greater than m*a
40 is greater than 2a
40 is greater than 2a
40/2 is greater than 2a/2
20m/s² is greater than a
Therefore the maximum speed the toy cart should have should be less than 20m/s²

Assume a beam of light hits the boundary separating medium 1, with index of refraction n1 and medium 2, with index of refraction

Reptile [31]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

Given,

Refractive index of medium 1 = n₁

Refractive index of medium 2 = n₂

For total internal reflection to take place light should move from denser medium to the rarer medium.

Here Total internal reflection take place at the boundary of medium 1 and medium 2 so, the refractive index of medium 1 is more than medium 2

n₁ > n₂

The correct answer is option C

two masses are kept 2 metre apart there is gravitational force of 2 Newton what is the gravitational force when they are kept at

sukhopar [10]

Answer: 0.5N

Explanation:

Gravitational force is calculated using the formula :

F = Gm1m2/r^2

Where G is the gravitational constant (6.67 × 10^-11)

At a distance 'r' of 2metres apart:

Mass of objects are m1 and m2

Gravitational force 'F1' = 2N

Inputting values into the formula :

2 = Gm1m2 / 2^2 - - - - - (1)

At a distance 'r' of 4meters apart:

Mass of objects are m1 and m2

Gravitational force 'F2' = y

Inputting values

F2 = Gm1m2 / 4^2 - - - - - (2)

Dividing equations 1 and 2

2 = Gm1m2 / 2^2 ÷ F2 = Gm1m2 / 4^2

2 / F2 = (Gm1m2 / 4) / (Gm1m2 / 16)

2 / F2 = (Gm1m2 / 4) × (16 / Gm1m2)

2/F2 = 16 / 4

Cross multiply

2 × 4 = 16 × F2

8 = 16F2

F2 = 8/16

F2 = 0.5N
