What are two ways air resistance can be increased?

1 answer:

7 0

The increase in speed leads to an increase in the amount of air resistance. Eventually, the force of air resistance becomes large enough to balances the force of gravity. At this instant in time, the net force is 0 Newton; the object will stop accelerating. The object is said to have reached a terminal velocity.

Consider horizontal parallel plates with a fixed potential difference. The upper plate has a voltage difference of 30 V with the

BlackZzzverrR [31]

relation between potential difference and electric field is given as

$E . d = \Delta V$

so here we know that

d = 3 cm

$\Delta V = 30 V$

$E \times 0.03 = 30$

$E = 1000 N/C$

So now when plates are separated to 4 cm distance carefully

the potential difference between them will change but the electric field between them will remain constant

So at distance of 4 cm also the electric field will be E = 1000 N/C

You build a grandfather clock, whose timing is based on a pendulum. You measure its period to be 2s on Earth. You then travel wi

Elenna [48]

Answer:

$\frac{g_{2}}{g_{1}} = \frac{1}{4}$

Explanation:

The period of the simple pendulum is:

$T = 2\pi\cdot \sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }$

Where:

$l$ - Cord length, in m.

$g$ - Gravity constant, in $\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ .

Given that the same pendulum is test on each planet, the following relation is formed:

$T_{1}^{2}\cdot g_{1} = T_{2}^{2}\cdot g_{2}$

The ratio of the gravitational constant on planet CornTeen to the gravitational constant on planet Earth is:

$\frac{g_{2}}{g_{1}} = \left(\frac{T_{1}}{T_{2}} \right)^{2}$

$\frac{g_{2}}{g_{1}} = \left(\frac{2\,s}{4\,s} \right)^{2}$

$\frac{g_{2}}{g_{1}} = \frac{1}{4}$

A star is in hydrostatic equilibrium when the outward push of pressure due to core burning is exactly in balance with the inward

viktelen [127]

Answer:

a and b

Explanation:

Hydro static equilibrium holds a star steady and balanced. Whenever a star stops burning hydrogen in its center, there must be evolutionary improvements to maintain equilibrium for the star Of example, if a star's internal pressure and temperature fall, gravity will take over and force the star to contract and heat up, restoring stability. By contrast, if a star's internal pressure and temperature rises, the extra pressure causes the star to widen and cool, restoring balance.

so, according to above explanation options a and b both are true

a) A small increase in the star's internal pressure and temperature causes the star's outer layers to expand and cool.

b) A small decrease in the star's internal pressure and temperature causes the star's outer layers to contract and heat up.

Which describes the wavelength of a wave?

NARA [144]

<span>So we want to know what physical quantity represents the wavelength of a wave. Waves have a few phyiscal quantities that are used to describe them. Frequency, amplitude and wavelength. Frequency is the number of oscillations in a specific time interval, amplitude is the maximal elongation of a wave and wavelength is the distance from one point ona a wave to the next similar point. So the correct answer is B. </span>
