If Earth was twice as far from the sun, the force of gravity attracting the Earth to the sun would be only one-quarter as strong. The correct answer will be C.
Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The force of gravity acting on an object helps in determining the weight of an object. But a place where there will be no gravity or have zero gravitational pull then it means the person will be weightless.
For example, force of gravity on moon is zero which means any object or person on moon will be weightless.
On the other hand, when a child is in the air as she plays on a trampoline then it means gravitational pull form the earth is acting on it. So, it will definitely has some weight.
Similarly, a scuba diver exploring a deep-sea wreck is under the ground where there will be force of gravity. Hence, it will also have some weight.
Thus, we can conclude that an astronaut on the Moon is the person who is weightless.
Answer: A and B
Explanation:
A
The wavelength of both transverse and longitudinal waves is measured parallel to the direction of the travel of the wave.
Because wavelength is the distance between the two successful crest or trough.
B)
Amplitude of longitudinal waves is measured at right angles to the direction of the travel of the wave and represents the maximum distance the molecule has moved from its normal position.
Because amplitude is the measure of maximum displacement from the original position
Answer:
Explanation:
Situations in which an electron will be affected by an external electric field but will not be affected by an external magnetic field
a ) When an electron is stationary in the electric field and magnetic field , he will be affected by electric field but not by magnetic field. Magnetic field can exert force only on mobile charges.
b ) When the electron is moving parallel to electric field and magnetic field . In this case also electric field will exert force on electron but magnetic field field will not exert force on electrons . Magnetic field can exert force only on the perpendicular component of the velocity of charged particles.
Situations when electron is affected by an external magnetic field but not by an external electric field
There is no such situation in which electric field will not affect an electron . It will always affect an electron .
