Why does the gravitational field strength increase with latitude

1 answer:

4 0

The second major reason for the difference in gravity at differentlatitudes is that the Earth's equatorial bulge (itself also caused by centrifugalforce from rotation) causes objects at the Equator to be farther from the planet's centre than objects at the poles.

In tae-kwon-do, a hand is slammed down onto a target at a speed of 10 m/s and comes to a stop during the 7.0 ms collision. Assum

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

(A) Impulse = 9Ns

(B) F = 1286N

Explanation:

Impulse = change in momentum = m(v-u)

v = 0 (the hand comes to a stop)

u = -10m/s

Mass = 0.9kg

Impulse = 0.9 ×(0- (-10))

= 9Ns

(B) F×t = Impulse

F = Impulse/ t

t = 7ms = 7×10-³

F = 9/ (7×10-³)

F = 1286N.

A physics professor wants to perform a lecture demonstration of Young's double-slit experiment for her class using the 633-nm li

Alexeev081 [22]

Note: if the professor wants the distance between the m = 0 and m = 1 maxima to be 25 cm

Answer:

d = 1.0128×10⁻⁵m

Explanation:

given:

length L = 4.0m

maximum distance between m = 0 and m = 1 , y = 25cm = 0.25m

wavelength λ = 633nm = 633×10⁻⁹m

note:

dsinθ = mλ (constructive interference)

where d is slit seperation, θ is angle of seperation , m is order of interference , and λ is wavelength

for small angle

sinθ ≈ tanθ

$d (\frac{y}{L}) =$ mλ

$d (\frac{y}{L}) = (1)(633nm)$

$d(\frac{0.25}{4} ) = (1)(633nm)$

d = 1.0128×10⁻⁵m

Label these as balanced or unbalanced:

kvasek [131]

Answer:

A book lying on a table - Balanced force
An airplane cruising in level flight - Balanced
A rock falling from a cliff - Unbalanced force
A bridge collapsing in an earthquake - Unbalanced force
A man sitting on a park bench - Balanced force
A space shuttle taking off - Unbalanced force
A car maintaining a constant speed on a straight road - Balanced force
An airplane landing - Unbalanced force

Explanation:

Usually, one or more forces act on a body at an instant of time. When these forces acting on a body and bring the body in the equilibrium position, the force is said to be balanced. The unbalanced force changes the equilibrium state of the body.

As in the case of an airplane cruising in a level flight, the weight of the plane will be equal to the lift force and the thrust is equal to the drag. So the plane is experiencing a balanced force.
