State any two effects of gravitational force

Physics

CaHeK987 [17]3 years ago

4 0

Answer:

The effect of gravity extends from each object out into space in all directions, and for an infinite distance. However, the strength of the gravitational force reduces quickly with distance. Humans are never aware of the Sun's gravity pulling them because the pull is so small at the distance between the Earth and Sun.

The average coefficient of linear expansion of copper is 1.7 10-5 (°c)−1. the statue of liberty is 93 m tall on a summer morning

sammy [17]

Let the rise in temperature be $5^0C$

The expansion in length due to change in temperature is given by the expression lαΔt , where l is the length, α is the coefficient of linear expansion, Δt is the change in temperature.

Here l = 93 m, α = $1.7*10^{-5}$ $^0C^{-1}$ , and Δt = $5^0C$

So expansion in length = 93* $1.7*10^{-5}$ *5 = 0.007905 m = $0.79*10^{-3}m$

So order of magnitude in change in length = -3

A spring gun is made by compressing a spring in a tube and then latching the spring at the compressed position. A 4.97-g pellet

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

$v = 2.8898 \frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

This is a problem easily solve using energy conservation. As there are no non-conservative forces, we know that the energy is conserved.

When the spring is compressed downward, the spring has elastic potential energy. When the spring is relaxed, there is no elastic potential energy, but the pellet will have gained gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy. Lets see what are the terms for each of this.

<h3>Elastic potential energy</h3>

We know that a spring following Hooke's Law has a elastic potential energy:

$E_{ep} = \frac{1}{2} k (\Delta x)^2$

where $\Delta x$ is the displacement from the relaxed length and k is the spring's constant.

To obtain the spring's constant, we know that Hooke's law states that the force made by the spring is :

$\vec{F} = - k \Delta \vec{x}$

as we need 9.12 N to compress 4.60 cm, this means:

$k = \frac{9.12 \ N}{4.6 \ 10^{-2} \ m}$

$k = 198.26 \ \frac{ N}{m}$

So, the elastic energy of the compressed spring is:

$E_{ep} = \frac{1}{2} 198.26 \ \frac{ N}{m} (4.6 \ 10^{-2} \ m)^2$

$E_{ep} = 0.209759 \ Joules$

And when the spring is relaxed, the elastic potential energy will be zero.

<h3>Gravitational potential energy</h3>

To see how much gravitational potential energy will the pellet win, we can use

$\Delta E_{gp} = m g \Delta h$

where m is the mass of the pellet, g is the acceleration due to gravity and \Delta h is the difference in height.

Taking all this together, the gravitational potential energy when the spring is relaxed will be:

$\Delta E_{gp} = 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg \ 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} 4.6 \ 10^{-2} m$

$\Delta E_{gp} = 0.00224 \ Joules$

<h3>Kinetic Energy</h3>

We know that the kinetic energy for a mass m moving at speed v is:

$E_k = \frac{1}{2} m v^2$

so, for the pellet will be

$E_k = \frac{1}{2} \ 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg \ v^2$

<h3>All together</h3>

By conservation of energy, we know:

$E_{ep} = \Delta E_{gp} + E_k$

$0.209759 \ Joules = 0.00224 \ Joules + \frac{1}{2} \ 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg \ v^2$

$\frac{1}{2} \ 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg \ v^2 = 0.209759 \ Joules - 0.00224 \ Joules$

$\frac{1}{2} \ 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg \ v^2 = 0.207519 \ Joules$

$v = \sqrt{ \frac{ 0.207519 \ Joules}{ \frac{1}{2} \ 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg } }$

$v = 2.8898 \frac{m}{s}$

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

A lateral eruptions or lateral blast is a volcanic eruption which is directed laterally from a volcano rather than upwards from the summit. Lateral eruptions are caused by the outward expansion of flanks due to rising magma. Breaking occurs at the flanks of volcanoes making it easier for magma to flow outward.

Answer:D. λfilm/4

Explanation: Destructive interference is a type of wave interference which means the coming together or over-lapping of two opposing waves creating No effect or the Cancellation of the wave impact. An example of destructive wave is when Noise cancel the effect of sound from a head phone.

The film thickness will need to be increased by λfilm/4 for it to be able to give a destructive interference.
