Answer:

Using g = 9.8: 1.02 kg, Using g = 10: 1 kg

Explanation:

E = mgh

20 = m(9.8)(3 - 1)

20 = 9.8m(2)

20 = 19.6m

m = 1.02 kg

I'm now assuming you may be using a g constant of 10, thus the close integer result, in which case the mass would be exactly 1 kilogram.

An Earth satellite is orbiting at a distance from the Earth’s surface equal to one Earth radius (4 000 miles). At this location,
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

The acceleration due to gravity is \dfrac{1}{4} times the value of g at the Earth’s surface.

(D) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius = 4000 miles

We need to calculate the gravitational force at surface

Gravitational force on the mass m on the surface of the earth

At r = R

F=mg

mg=\dfrac{GmM}{R^2}....(I)

We need to calculate the gravitational force at height

Gravitational force on a mass m from the center of the earth,

At r = R + R = 2 R

F'=mg'

mg'=\dfrac{GmM}{4R^2}....(II)

Dividing equation (II) by equation (I)

\dfrac{mg'}{mg}=\dfrac{\dfrac{GmM}{4R^2}}{\dfrac{GmM}{R^2}}

\dfrac{g'}{g}=\dfrac{1}{4}

Hence, The acceleration due to gravity is \dfrac{1}{4} times the value of g at the Earth’s surface.

Boyle's Law states that when a sample of gas is compressed at a constant temperature, the pressure P P and volume V V satisfy th
Verdich [7]

Answer:

the volume decreases at the rate of 500cm³ in 1 min

Explanation:

given

v = 1000cm³, p = 80kPa, Δp/t= 40kPa/min

PV=C

vΔp + pΔv = 0

differentiate with respect to time

v(Δp/t) + p(Δv/t) = 0

(1000cm³)(40kPa/min) + 80kPa(Δv/t) = 0

40000 + 80kPa(Δv/t) = 0

Δv/t = -40000/80

= -500cm³/min

the volume decreases at the rate of 500cm³ in 1 min

g The speed of light in a vacuum is larger for short wavelength electromagnetic waves. larger for high frequency electromagnetic
Orlov [11]

Answer:

A constant value everywhere in the universe.

Explanation:

The speed of light in a vacuum is a constant value. It is not affected by change in frequency or wavelength of the light.

Mathematically the speed of light is given as:

c = λf

where λ = wavelength and f - frequency

The speed of light is the constant of proportionality between frequency and wavelength. In order words, wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional. As the wavelength increases, frequency decreases and vice versa.

While the change in wavelength and frequency of light affect the energy of the light, its speed is a constant value as long as the medium is a vacuum.

The speed of light is also not dependent on the manner with which the light wave is moving.

why can we use P=VI in the question electric bulb base generator is rated 220 volts and 100W when it is operated on 110v what wi
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Correct answer:  P₂ = 25 W

Explanation:

Given: voltage V₁ = 220 V, power P₁ = 100 W, V₂ = 110 V, P₂ = ?

The formula for calculating power is:

P = V · I

We will include in the story and ohm's law:

I = V/R

We will replace the current in the expression for power

P = V · V/R = V²/R  ⇒ R = V²/P

We will first calculate the electrical resistance of the bulb which is a constant in the electrical circuit

R = V₁²/P₁ = 220²/ 100 = 48,400 / 100 = 484 Ω

Power consumption of bulb connected to 110 V is:

P₂ = V₂²/R = 110²/484 = 12,100/484 = 25 W

P₂ = 25 W

God is with you!!!
