Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Dividing the distance covered by the time would give us the average speed, not a constant speed. Constant speed exists only if the speed of an object does not change.

true. Because the speed of an object can change from one instant to the next, dividing the total distance covered by the time of travel gives. average speed.

A small object carrying a charge of -4.00 nC is acted upon by a downward force of 19.0 nN when placed at a certain point in an e
Gala2k [10]

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge acting on the object, q=-4\ nC=-4\times 10^{-9}\ C

Force acting on the object, F=19\ nC=19\times 10^{-9}\ C (in downward direction)

(a) The electric force acting in the electric field is given by :

F=qE

E is the electric field

E=\dfrac{F}{q}

E=\dfrac{19\times 10^{-9}\ N}{4\times 10^{-9}\ C}

E = 4.75 N/C

The direction of electric field is as same as electric force. But it is negative charge. So, the direction of electric field is in upward direction.

(b) The charge on the proton is, q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

The force acting on the proton is :

F=qE

F=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 4.75

F=7.6\times 10^{-19}\ N

If the charge on the proton is positive, the force on the proton is in upward direction.

Hence, this is the required solution.

An interference pattern is produced by light with a wavelength 550 nm from a distant source incident on two identical parallel s
ad-work [718]

Answer:

a

 \theta  =  0.0022 rad

b

 I  =  0.000304 I_o

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

   The  wavelength of the light is \lambda  = 550 \ nm  =  550 *10^{-9} \ m

    The  distance of the slit separation is  d = 0.500 \ mm = 5.0 *10^{-4} \ m

 

Generally the condition for two slit interference  is  

     dsin \theta =  m \lambda

Where m is the order which is given from the question as  m = 2

=>    \theta  =  sin ^{-1} [\frac{m \lambda}{d} ]

 substituting values  

      \theta  =  0.0022 rad

Now on the second question  

   The distance of separation of the slit is  

       d =  0.300 \ mm  =  3.0 *10^{-4} \ m

The  intensity at the  the angular position in part "a" is mathematically evaluated as

      I  =  I_o  [\frac{sin \beta}{\beta} ]^2

Where  \beta is mathematically evaluated as

       \beta  =  \frac{\pi *  d  *  sin(\theta )}{\lambda }

  substituting values

     \beta  =  \frac{3.142  *  3*10^{-4}  *  sin(0.0022 )}{550 *10^{-9} }

    \beta  = 0.06581

So the intensity is  

    I  =  I_o  [\frac{sin (0.06581)}{0.06581} ]^2

   I  =  0.000304 I_o

Why are different constellations<br> of stars seen during different<br> seasons?
slamgirl [31]
Actually, they're not.  There's a group of stars and constellations arranged
around the pole of the sky that's visible at any time of any dark, clear night,
all year around.  And any star or constellation in the rest of the sky is visible
for roughly 11 out of every 12 months ... at SOME time of the night. 

Constellations appear to change drastically from one season to the next,
and even from one month to the next, only if you do your stargazing around
the same time every night.

Why does the night sky change at various times of the year ?  Here's how to
think about it:

The Earth spins once a day. You spin along with the Earth, and your clock is
built to follow the sun . "Noon" is the time when the sun is directly over your
head, and "Midnight" is the time when the sun is directly beneath your feet.

Let's say that you go out and look at the stars tonight at midnight, when you're
facing directly away from the sun.

In 6 months from now, when you and the Earth are halfway around on the other
side of the sun, where are those same stars ?  Now they're straight in the
direction of the sun.  So they're directly overhead at Noon, not at Midnight.

THAT's why stars and constellations appear to be in a different part of the sky,
at the same time of night on different dates.

Quite low

Gravitation force = \frac{6.67* 10^{-11}*0.145*6.8 }{ 0.5^{2} } = 26.3 * 10^{-11} = 2.63 *10^{-10} N

In what sense can a transformer be considered an electrical lever? What does it multiply? What does it not multiply?
liberstina [14]

Answer:

This is because it steps up or steps down electrical voltage. It multiplies either voltage (if it is a voltage transformer )or current (if it is a current transformer), but it does not multiply electrical power.

Explanation:

A transformer steps up or steps down electrical voltage, by transmitting power at a voltage, V₁ and Current I₁ at one terminal, to a voltage, V₂ and Current I₂ at its other terminals, just like a lever transmits force from one point to another. Since the power transmitted remains the same, (energy per unit time remains constant), I₁V₁ = I₂V₂ ⇒ I₁/I₂ = V₂/V₁ = n (the turns ratio of the transformer). So, the turns ratio will determine if its a step-up or step-down transformer. V₂ = nV₁. So, if V₁ > V₂ it is a step down transformer and if V₁ < V₂ it is a step-up transformer.It multiplies either voltage (if it is a voltage transformer )or current (if it is a current transformer), but it does not multiply electrical power, since P = IV = constant for the transformer.
