What is the relation between acceleration due to gravity and radius of the earth? ​

Physics

Answer:

As the earth is an oblate spheroid, its radius near the equator is more than its radius near poles. Since for a source mass, the acceleration due to gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the radius of the earth, it varies with latitude due to the shape of the earth.

Formula: g = GM/r2

Dimensional Formula: M0L1T-2

Values of g in SI: 9.806 ms-2

A 0.50-kg object moves in a horizontal circular track with a radius of 2.5 m. An external forceof 3.0 N, always tangent to the t
kodGreya [7K]

The work done by the force is 47.1 J

Explanation:

The work done by a force in moving an object is given by

W=Fd cos \theta (1)

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the distance covered by the object

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and the motion of the object

In this problem, the force applied to the object is

F = 3.0 N

This force is always tangential to the track: this means that at every instant, the force is parallel to the motion of the object, so

\theta=0

And the distance covered is equal to the circumference of the circle, which is:

d=2\pi r=2\pi (2.5 m)=15.7 m

where r = 2.5 m is the radius.

Now we can substitute into eq.(1) to find the work done:

W=(3.0)(15.7)(cos 0)=47.1 J

Why does refracting light bend when it enters a denser or less dense medium?
Rzqust [24]

Answer: The light bends because light travels fast but it slows down in a denser medium. For example light refracts in water or it bends after passing through air. When light passes through air ( a less dense medium ) then through water ( a more dense medium ) the beam of light bends because light travels more slowly in a denser medium then it picks up its pace again once it passes. The density of the substance determines how much the light is refracted. I hope this makes sense and I hope this answered your question!! :)

Explain how electric currents flow only in closed circuits​
Fed [463]

Answer:

The wires are connected to both terminals of the battery, so they form a closed loop. Most circuits have devices such as light bulbs that convert electrical energy to other forms of energy. ... When the switch is turned on, the circuit is closed and current can flow through it.
