A)Watt (W) is a derived unit.

Physics

Aleks04 [339]3 years ago

4 0

Answer:

a) Watt is a derived unit because it's not a “base unit.”

b) The atomic clock is suitable for measuring time because natural atomic oscillations happen at a higher frequency and as a result they are more stable.

c) There is fluctuation in time measured by a pendulum clock because the pendulum rod changes in length slightly with changes in temperature, causing changes in the rate of the clock. An increase in temperature causes the rod to expand, making the pendulum longer, so its period increases and the clock loses time.

D) The weight of an object is more at pole and less at equator of the earth because the distance of the pole is less than the distance of the equator from the centre of the earth.

e) The weight of an object on the moon is about one-sixth the weight it would have on the earth because the moon's gravitation force is determined by the mass and the size of the moon. Hence, the weight of an object on the moon is 1/6th its weight on the earth.

Olegator [25]

Answer:

42244138.951 m

Explanation:

G = Gravitational constant = 6.667 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

r = Radius of orbit from center of earth

M = Mass of Earth = 5.98 × 10²⁴ kg

m = Mass of Satellite

The satellite revolves around the Earth at a constant speed

Speed = Distance / Time

The distance is the perimeter of the orbit

$v=\frac{2\pi \times r}{24\times 3600}$

The Centripetal force of the satellite is balanced by the universal gravitational force

$m\frac{v^2}{r}=\frac{GMm}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{\left(\frac{2\pi \times r}{24\times 3600}\right)^2}{r}=\frac{6.667\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow \left(\frac{2\pi \times r}{24\times 3600}\right)^2=6.667\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}\\\Rightarrow r^3=\frac{6.667\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}\times (24\times 3600)^2}{(2\pi)^2}\\\Rightarrow r=\left(\frac{6.667\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}\times (24\times 3600)^2}{(2\pi)^2}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}\\\Rightarrow r=42244138.951\ m$

The radius as measured from the center of the Earth) of the orbit of a geosynchronous satellite that circles the earth is 42244138.951 m

Would a bond between potassium and iodine most likely be covalent or ionic? Explain your answer

Ugo [173]

A covalent bond is between two nonmetals. An ionic bond is between a metal and a nonmetal. Potassium is a metal and iodine is a nonmetal, so their bond would most likely be ionic.

What do the atoms of elements in the same group have in common? A. They have the same atomic numbers. B. They have the same aver

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

A. They have the same atomic numbers.

Explanation:

Elements are defined based on the atomic number, which is the number of protons in the nucleus: this means that atoms of the same element have always the same number of protons in their nuclei (and so, always the same atomic number).

The other choices are wrong because:

B. They have the same average atomic masses. --> this is false for isotopes, which are atoms of the same element having a different number of neutrons. Since the atomic mass is calculated from the sum of the masses of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, two isotopes of the same element have different atomic mass

C. They have the same number of electron shells. --> this can be false when an atom of an element loses/gains an electron, becoming an ion: in that case, the number of electron shells can change, since the number of electrons has changed.

D. They have the same number of electrons in their outermost shells. --> this is also false in case one of the atoms is an ion, since the number of electrons is different.
