Answer:

Gravity.

Explanation:

The force that controls the movement of the planets around the sun, holds together stars grouped in galaxies, and galaxies grouped in clusters is called gravity.

This ultimately implies that, gravity is considered to be a universal force of attraction that acts between all objects that has both mass, energy and occupy space. Therefore, it acts in such a way as to bring objects together.

Additionally, the gravity of earth makes it possible for all physical objects to possess weight.

Weight can be defined as the force acting on a body or an object as a result of gravity.

Mathematically, weight is given by the formula;

$Weight = mg$

Where;

m is the mass of an object.

g is acceleration due to gravity.

A heavy meterstick has a mass of 1 kg. When the meterstick is thrown like a spear past you, you measure its momentum to be 2mv.

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

Its length is measured to be 0.5 m

Explanation:

From theory of relativity (mass variation), we know that:

m = mo/√(1-v²/c²)

Where, m = relative mass

and, mo = rest mass

The momentum of stick while moving, will be:

P = mv

but, it is given in the form of rest mass as:

P = 2(mo)v

thus, by comparison;

2(mo)v = mv

using value of m from theory of relativity;

2(mo)v = (mo)v/√(1-v²/c²)

√(1-v²/c²) = 1/2 ______ eqn(1)

Now, for relativistic length (L), we have the formula from same theory of relativity;

L = (Lo)√(1-v²/c²)

The rest length (Lo) of meter stick is 1 m, and the remaining term on right side √(1-v²/c²), known as Lorentz Factor, can be given by eqn (1), as equal to 1/2.

Thus,

L = (1 m)(1/2)

<u>L = 0.5 m</u>

Two identical tiny spheres of mass m =2g and charge q hang from a non-conducting strings, each of length L = 10cm. At equilibriu

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

0.247 μC

Explanation:

As both sphere will be at the same level at wquilibrium, the direction of the electric force will be on the x axis. As you can see in the picture below, the x component of the tension of the string of any of the spheres should be equal to the electric force of repulsion. And its y component will be equal to the weight of one sphere. We can use trigonometry to find the components of the tensions:

$F_y: T_y - W = 0\\T_y = m*g = 0.002 kg *9.81m/s^2 = 0.01962 N$

$T_y = T_*cos(50)\\T = \frac{T_y}{cos(50)} = 0.0305 N$

$T_x = T*sin(50) = 0.0234 N$

The electric force is given by the expression:

$F = k*\frac{q_1*q_2}{r^2}$

In equilibrium, the distance between the spheres will be equal to 2 times the length of the string times sin(50):

$r = 2*L*sin(50) = 2 * 0.1m * sin(50) 0.1532 m$

And k is the coulomb constan equal to 9 *10^9 N*m^2/C^2. q1 y q2 is the charge of each particle, in this case, they are equal.

$F_x = T_x - F_e = 0\\T_x = F_e = k*\frac{q^2}{r^2}$

$q = \sqrt{T_x *\frac{r^2}{k}} = \sqrt{0.0234 N * \frac{(0.1532m)^2}{9*10^9 N*m^2/C^2} } = 2.4704 * 10^-7 C$

A velocity selector in a mass spectrometer uses a 0.150 T magnetic field. (a) What electric field strength (in volts per meter)

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

The electric field strength is $6.6\times10^{5}\ V/m$

Explanation:

Given that,

Magnetic field = 0.150 T

Speed $v= 4.40\times10^{6}\ m/s$

We need to calculate the electric field strength

Using formula of velocity

$v=\dfrac{E}{B}$

$E=v\times B$

Where, v = speed

B = magnetic field

Put the value into the formula

$E=4.40\times10^{6}\times0.150$

$E=660000\ V/m$

$E=6.6\times10^{5}\ V/m$

Hence, The electric field strength is $6.6\times10^{5}\ V/m$

g Estimate the number of photons emitted by the Sun in a second. The power output from the Sun is 4 Ã— 1026 W and assume that th

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

The value is $N = 1.107 *10^{45 } \ photons$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The power output from the sun is $P_o = 4 * 10^{26} \ W$

The average wavelength of each photon is $\lambda = 550 \ nm = 550 *10^{-9} \ m$

Generally the energy of each photon emitted is mathematically represented as

$E_c = \frac{h * c }{ \lambda }$

Here h is the Plank's constant with value $h = 6.62607015 * 10^{-34} J \cdot s$

c is the speed of light with value $c = 3.0 *10^{8} \ m/s$

So

$E_c = \frac{6.62607015 * 10^{-34} * 3.0 *10^{8} }{ 550 *10^{-9} }$

=> $E_c = 3.614 *10^{-19} \ J$

Generally the number of photons emitted by the Sun in a second is mathematically represented as

$N = \frac{P }{E_c}$

=> $N = \frac{4 * 10^{26} }{3.614 *10^{-19}}$

=> $N = 1.107 *10^{45 } \ photons$
