The value of g is greater at the poles than at the equator why​

Physics
2 answers:
Degger [83]3 years ago

The reason is because the Earth is not a perfect sphere. The distance from the poles to the centre of the Earth is smaller and the gravity is slightly greater.
The distance from the equator to the centre is slightly bigger so gravity is slightly smaller.

Answer:

because the gravitational pull is maximum at the poles and decreases as it comes down toward the equator.

A dog is running at 15 m/s and then slows down to 10 m/s. It takes him two seconds to do this. What is the dog's acceleration
OLga [1]

Explanation:

a = (Vf-Vi)/t

= (10m/s - 15m/s)/2s

a = -5 / 2 m/s^2

• so the dog diaccelerate at the rate of 5/2 m/s^2

Energy is released during the fission of pu-239 atoms as a result of the
pav-90 [236]
<h2>Answer: process of converting matter into energy</h2><h2></h2>

Nuclear fission consists of dividing a heavy nucleus into two or more lighter or smaller nuclei, by means of the bombardment with neutrons to make it unstable. In this process that takes place in the atomic nucleus, neutrons, gamma rays and <u>large amounts of energy are emitted.  </u>

Then, with this division a great release of energy occurs and the emission of two or three neutrons, other particles and gamma rays.  

This means fission is a process in which energy is released by  the separation of the components of the nucleous of the atom.

In other words:

<h2>Matter is converted to energy .</h2>

A vacuum tube can be used to__. A. change alternating current into direct current B. increase the strength of a signal.. C. turn
vesna_86 [32]

The correct answer of this question is :  A) Change alternating current into direct current.

EXPLANATION :

As per the question, we are given vacuum tube. Vacuum tube can be of various types. Normally it contains two electrodes called cathode and anode which are enclosed in an evacuated glass chamber . There are also other types of vacuum tubes which contain extra electrodes like control grid .

The vacuum tube can be used as a rectifier. It means that it can be used as an electronic device which will convert alternating current into direct current. It may be a half wave rectifier or a full wave rectifier. Actually the direct current obtained during the rectification of alternating current is pulsating in nature.

Hence, the correct answer is that a vacuum tube can be used to change alternating current into direct current.

2. A 55 kg woman has a momentum of 200 kg m/s. What is her velocity?
NeTakaya

Answer:

\boxed {\tt 3.63636364 \ m/s}

Explanation:

Velocity can be found using the following formula:

v=\frac{p}{m}

where p is the momentum and m is the mass.

The woman has a mass of 55 kilograms and a momentum of 200 kilogram meters per second.

p= 200 \ kgm/s\\m=55 \ kg

Substitute the values into the formula.

v=\frac{200 \ kg m/s}{55 \ kg}

Divide. Note that the kilograms, or kg, will cancel each other out.

v=\frac{200 \ m/s}{55}

v= 3.63636364 \ m/s

The woman's velocity is 3.63636364 meters per second.

Formulating a Hypothesis: Part I Since the investigative question has two variables, you need to focus on each one separately. T
Taya2010 [7]

Explanation:

The kinetic energy is said to be possessed due to the motion of the object. An object at rest will have zero kinetic energy and if it is in motion it will have some kinetic energy. The mathematical expression for kinetic energy is given by :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times m\times v^2...........(1)

Where

m is the mass of the object

v is the velocity of object

It is clear form expression (1) that the kinetic energy of the object is directly proportional to the mass and velocity of an object.

So, the hypothesis for the mass and kinetic energy can be written as " when the mass of the object increases, its kinetic energy also increases because there exists a direct relationship between the mass and the kinetic energy of the object".
