a variable whose variation does not depend on that of another.

An independent variable is a variable that does not depend on anything. It is manipulated to determine the value of a dependent variable. The dependent variable is what is being measured in an experiment or evaluated in a mathematical equation and the independent variables are the inputs to that measurement. Example: Time would always be an independent variable because nothing affects time, however, time can affect everything.

Suppose the sphere is electrically neutral. Is it attracted to

Elden [556K]

Answer:

No, it is not attracted.

Explanation:

If any sphere is electrically neutral it is not attracted. The materials which are attracted by magnet are called magnetic material whereas which are not attracted are called non magnetic material. Sphere made up of non magnetic materials such as glass, wood, paper will not attracted weather is kept near north pole or near south pole.

A 873-kg (1930-lb) dragster, starting from rest completes a 401.4-m (0.2509-mile) run in 4.945 s. If the car had a constant acce

Delvig [45]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations of motion.

By definition we know that the position of a body is given by

$x=x_0+v_0t+at^2$

Where

$x_0 =$ Initial position

$v_0 =$ Initial velocity

a = Acceleration

t= time

And the velocity can be expressed as,

$v_f = v_0 + at$

Where,

$v_f = Final velocity$

For our case we have that there is neither initial position nor initial velocity, then

$x= at^2$

With our values we have $x = 401.4m, t=4.945s$ , rearranging to find a,

$a=\frac{x}{t^2}$

$a = \frac{ 401.4}{4.945^2}$

$a = 16.41m/s^2$

Therefore the final velocity would be

$v_f = v_0 + at$

$v_f = 0 + (16.41)(4.945)$

$v_f = 81.14m/s$

Therefore the final velocity is 81.14m/s

What is epsilon zero and why does it come into use, particularly in the case of Gauss's Law?

Paha777 [63]

Epsilon zero is permittivity of free space means how much air or vacuum permits electric field to travel from one charge to other.It is constant in the coulomb law. This allow Gauss's a lot easier to solve rather than using K

A spherical asteroid of average density would have a mass of 8.7×1013kg if its radius were 2.0 km. 1. If you and your spacesuit

1. 0.16 N

The weight of a man on the surface of asteroid is equal to the gravitational force exerted on the man:

$F=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

$M=8.7\cdot 10^{13}kg$ is the mass of the asteroid

m = 100 kg is the mass of the man

r = 2.0 km = 2000 m is the distance of the man from the centre of the asteroid

Substituting, we find

$F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11}m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2})\frac{(8.7\cdot 10^{13} kg)(110 kg)}{(2000 m)^2}=0.16 N$

2. 1.7 m/s

In order to stay in orbit just above the surface of the asteroid (so, at a distance r=2000 m from its centre), the gravitational force must be equal to the centripetal force

$m\frac{v^2}{r}=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}$

where v is the minimum speed required to stay in orbit.

Re-arranging the equation and solving for v, we find:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}=\sqrt{\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2})(8.7\cdot 10^{13} kg)}{2000 m}}=1.7 m/s$
