There is a very slight change in gravity at the top of a mountain. Which property

Physics
1 answer:
son4ous [18]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The entity that decreases is the Weight.

Explanation:

Every object on the surface of the earth is usually pulled downwards by the action of gravity. The force or weight is W = mg

Now, the farther one gets away from the surface of the earth by climbing a mountain, the further the person is from the Earth's centre of gravity.

We know that the formula for Force of gravity away from the Earth's surface is given by;

F_g = GM1M2/r²

So the greater the distance, the lesser the gravitational force.

Now, the gravitational force equals the weight of the individual.

Thus, the entity that decreases is the Weight of the individual.

Explain what effect losing a gamma ray has on a nucleus.
gogolik [260]

Answer:

Hi, Since energy levels in the nucleus are much higher than those in the gas, the nucleus will cool down by emitting a more energetic electromagnetic wave called a gamma ray . Gamma ray emission causes no change in the number of particles in the nucleus meaning both the atomic number and mass number remain the same.

What is the speed of terminal velocity?
ivann1987 [24]
The so-called "terminal velocity" is the fastest that something can fall
through a fluid.  Even though there's a constant force pulling it through,
the friction or resistance of plowing through the surrounding substance
gets bigger as the speed grows, so there's some speed where the resistance
is equal to the pulling force, and then the falling object can't go any faster.

A few examples:
-- the terminal velocity of a sky-diver falling through air,
-- the terminal velocity of a pecan falling through honey,
-- the terminal velocity of a stone falling through water.

It's not possible to say that "the terminal velocity is ----- miles per hour".
If any of these things changes, then the terminal velocity changes too:

-- weight of the falling object
-- shape of the object
-- surface texture (smoothness) of the object
-- density of the surrounding fluid
-- viscosity of the surrounding fluid .

A star is moving away from an observer at 1% of the speed of light. At what wavelength would the observer find an emission line
Ivan

Answer:

  λ = 5940 Angstroms

Explanation:

This is an exercise of the relativistic Doppler effect

        f’= f  √((1- v / c) / (1 + v / c))

Where the speed in between the strr and the observer is positive if they move away

Let's use the relationship

         c = λ f

         f = c /λ

We replace

              c /λ’ = c /λ  √ ((1- v / c) / (1 + v / c))

              λ = λ’ √ ((1- v / c) / (1 + v / c))

Let's calculate

             v = 0.01 c

             v = 0.01 3 10⁸

             v=  3 10⁶ m / s

             λ = 6000 √ [(1- 3 10⁶/3 10⁸) / (1+ 3 10⁶/3 10⁸)]

             λ = 6000 √ [0.99 / 1.01]

             λ = 5940 Angstroms

A fully loaded cart with a mass of 2200 kg starts from the top of a 12-meter hill on a roller coaster.
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

A. potential energy is 258720 Joule

Explanation:

A.Gravitational potential energy is: PE = m × g × h

velocity =  15.33 m/s when the car reaches the bottom of the hill.

where, m = mass

            g = acceleration due to gravity

            h = height from the bottom of hill.

The potential energy is : m×g×h

                                     =(2200×9.8×12)

                                     =258720 Joule

B. at the bottom of the hill, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy so PE at top = KE at bottom

                    kinetic energy= \frac{1}{2}(m*v^{2})

where v = velocity

          m= mass

therefore,               v=\sqrt\frac{2*K.E}{m} {}

                         or,  v=\sqrt{\frac{2*258720}{2200} }

                         or,   v=15.33 m/s
