Hold on and let's discuss this realistically.
Because of gravity, there are two forces between the Earth and me. One draws me toward the Earth. The strength of that force is what I call my "weight". The other force draws the Earth toward me, and has the same strength.
The strength of these forces depends on the masses of the Earth and me. If the strength just tripled, that means that at least one of us just picked up a lot more mass. If the Earth suddenly became three times as massive, then the weight of everything and everybody on it would suddenly triple, and I'm pretty sure it would be the end of all of us before too long.
If it was only MY mass that suddenly tripled, that would mean that I had gone tearing through my house and the neighbour's house, eating everything in sight including the 2 couches, 3 dogs, and 6 TVs. Naturally, just as you would expect, my weight changed from 207 to 621, and my skin is stretched really tight.
ooohhh
A negative ion is a atom that has an extra electron, but the same # of protons
Answer:
Control rods
Explanation:
Control rods is unique to nuclear power plants as they are mainly used in nuclear reactors to stabilize the rate of fission of plutonium or uranium. They are usually composed of chemical elements such as cadmium, silver, boron, and indium.
Answer:
False
Explanation:
<em>If one of the bulbs is removed from the series, the other bulb will not come on at all.</em>
This is because the removal of one of the bulbs would interrupt the flow of current though the entire circuit.
Hence, that the other one will get brighter if one of two bulbs in a circuit is removed from its socket is not true.
Answer:
16 J
Explanation:
It is given that,
Work done, W = 2 J
A spring is stretched by 2.0 cm from its equilibrium length
We need to find how much more work will be required to stretch it an additional 4.0 cm.
Let k is the spring constant of the spring. When W = 2J, and x = 2 cm, then energy required to stretch the spring is :
The energy required to stretch the spring from 2 cm to additional 4 cm i.e. 2+4= 6 cm.
So, the required work done is 16 J.
