Answer:

Is always towards the center of the Earth

Explanation:

As a satellite moves around the Earth in a circular orbit, the direction of the force of gravity is always towards the center of the Earth. At an altitude of 100 km, you would be so high that you would see black sky and stars if you looked upwards.

A force of gravity pulls downward on a book on a table. What force prevents the book from accelerating downward?
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer: The Normal Force

Explanation:

According to Third Newton's Law,  also konwn as The principle of action and reaction :

<em>"If a body A exerts an action on another body B, it performs on A another action that is the same and in the opposite direction."</em>

In this case this is what happens with the book on a table,  gravity force pulls it downward, but the Normal Force (perpendicular to the surface of the table) acts in the opposite direction with the same magnitude, preventing the book from accelerating downward.

Professor Whitney has a sample of lead and a sample of iron. The samples have equal mass. When Whitney heats the samples, the le

The temperature increase of a substance is T=Q/m*c, where m is the mass, Q is the energy absorbed and c is the specific heat.  So you can conclude that if the lead gets to a higher temperature, it must have a lower specific heat

A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surfac
frutty [35]

Answer:

Velocity=1.1m/s

Amplitude=0.35m

Explanation:

Given:

time 't' = 2.9s

wavelength 'λ'= 5.5m

distance 'd'=0.7m

The time period 't' is the time b/w two successive waves. Therefore, the time it takes from the boat to travel  from its highest point to its lowest is a half period.

So, T = 2 x 2.9 => 5.8 s

As we know that frequency is the reciprocal of time period, we have

f= 1/T = 1/5.8 =>0.2 Hz

In order to find how fast are the waves traveling, the velocity is given by

Velocity = f λ

V= 0.2 x 5.5 =>1.1m/s

The distance between the boat's highest point to its lowest point is double the amplitude.

Therefore , we can write

Amplitude 'A'= d/2 =>0.7/2 =>0.35m

Two straight wires are in parallel and carry electrical currents in opposite directions with the same magnitude of 2.0A. The dis
Veronika [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Two straight wires

Have current in opposite direction

i1=i2=i=2Amps

Distance between two wires

r=5mm=0.005m

Length of one wire is ∞

Length of second wire is 0.3m

Force between the wire,

The force between two parallel currents I1 and I2, separated by a distance r, has a magnitude per unit length given by

F/l = μoi1i2/2πr

F/l=μoi²/2πr

μo=4π×10^-7 H/m

The force is attractive if the currents are in the same direction, repulsive if they are in opposite directions.

F/l = μoi1i2/2πr

F/0.3=4π×10^-7×2²/2π•0.005

F/0.3=1.6×10^-4

Cross multiply

F=1.6×10^-4×0.3

F=4.8×10^-5N
