a coefficient of fraction is a value that shows the relationship between two objects and the normal reaction between the objects that are involved.

Indicate whether the statement is true or false. A force can be simply defined as a push or a pull.

Sidana [21]

This B: False, because the definition is lacking.

Force is when two objects interact with one another causing it to either move or not move. In our daily lives there are a lot of times force is exerted upon us, rather force is everywhere and here are the evidences:

*Pushing a cart
*Pushing a wall
*Hitting a baseball bat
*Apple falling down from a tree.
*Balls hitting one another
*A swinging pendulum
*Throwing a paper with stone above it
*Breaking of glass in the floor
*Falling of leaves on the grass <span> </span>

Which type of telescope does not require darkness in order to be able to use it?

exis [7]

Answer:

A type of telescope that does not require darkness in order to be able to use it is the refracting telescope

Explanation:

A refracting telescope consists of a lens and an eyepiece collects light which is then focused to present a magnified, bright and clear image.

The incident light on a refracting telescope is bent by refraction such that the light is focused to the focal point.

In refracting telescopes, the image is formed by bending light, that is by refraction.

The refracting telescope technology has been applied to binoculars and camera zoom lenses.

a sphere of diameter 6•0cm is moulded into a thin uniform wire of diameter 0•2mm.calculate the length of the wire in metres

Scilla [17]

The length of the wire is 36 m.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given, Diameter of sphere = 6 cm

We know that, radius can be found by taking the half in the diameter value. So,

$\text { sphere radius, } R=\frac{D}{2}=\frac{6}{2}=3 \mathrm{cm}=3 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{m}$

Similarly,

$\text { wire radius, } r=\frac{0.2}{2}=0.1 \mathrm{mm}=1 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{m}$

We know the below formulas,

$\text {volume of sphere}=\frac{4}{3} \times \pi \times R^{3}$

$\text {volume of wire}=\pi \times r^{2} \times l$

When equating both the equations, we can find length of wire as below, where $\pi=\frac{22}{7}$

$\frac{4}{3} \times \pi \times R^{3}=\pi \times r^{2} \times l$

$\frac{4}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times\left(3 \times 10^{-2}\right)^{3}=\frac{22}{7} \times\left(1 \times 10^{-3}\right)^{2} \times l$

The $\pi$ value gets cancelled as common on both sides, we get

$\frac{4}{3} \times 27 \times 10^{-6}=10^{-6} \times l$

The $10^{-6}$ value gets cancelled as common on both sides, we get

$l=4 \times 9=36 m$
