(B) All objects attract other objects

To be specific, the following formula defines this theory very clearly:

F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2

The Force is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.

A 12.0 khz, 16.0 v source connected to an inductor produces a 4.00 a current. what is the inductance?

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Inductive reactance (Z) = ω L = 2Πf L = (2Π) (12,000) (L)

I = V / Z

4 A = 16v / (24,000Π L)

Multiply each side by (24,000 Π L):

96,000 Π L = 16v

Divide each side by (96,000 Π) :

L = 16 / 96,000Π = 5.305 x 10⁻⁵ Henry

L = 53.05 microHenry

Which events took place during the Copernican revolution, when most people started to believe in a heliocentric model of the sol

balu736 [363]

<h2>2) Copernicus rediscovered Aristarchus’s heliocentric model.</h2>

Before Copernican Revolution, people did believe in the ptolemain model that establishes the description of the Universe with the earth at the center having sun, moon, starts and planets all orbited earth. On the other hand, the heliocentric model establishes the sun at the center of the solar system and this starts with the publication of Nicolas Copernicus named <em>De revolutionibus orbium coelestium.</em>

<h2>5) Newton’s theories of gravity increased understanding of the movement of planets.</h2>

The revolution ended with Isaac Newton's work over a century later. As you well know, Newton was both a physicist and mathematician, better known for his prodigal work called <em>Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica. </em>In this revolution, he is known for his laws of motion and universal gravitation increasing understanding of the movement of planets.

A golf ball (m = 59.2 g) is struck a blow that makes an angle of 50.5 ◦ with the horizontal. The drive lands 130 m away on a fla

fomenos

Answer:

The force is calculated as 338.66 N

Explanation:

We know that force is given by

$\overrightarrow{F}=\frac{d\overrightarrow{p}}{dt}=\frac{m(v_{f}-v_{o})}{\Delta t}$

We know that range of a projectile is given by

$R=\frac{v_{o}^{2}sin(2\theta )}{g}$

it is given that R=130 m applying values in the above equation we get

$R=\frac{v_{o}^{2}sin(2\theta )}{g}\\\\v_{0}=\sqrt{\frac{Rg}{sin(2\theta )}}\\\\\therefore v_{o}=\sqrt{\frac{130\times 9.81}{sin(2\times 50.5_{o}} )}\\\\v_{o}=36.04m/s$

Thus the force is obtained as

$\overrightarrow{F}=\frac{d\overrightarrow{p}}{dt}=\frac{59.2\times 10^{}-3(36.04-0)}{6.3\times 10^{-3}}$

Thus force equals $F=338.66N$

On a cold winter day, a penny (mass 2.50 g) and a nickel (mass 5.00 g) are lying on the smooth (frictionless) surface of a froze

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

0.78333 m/s in the opposite direction

1.566 m/s in the same direction

Explanation:

$m_1$ = Mass of penny = 0.0025 kg

$m_2$ = Mass of nickel = 0.005 kg

$u_1$ = Initial Velocity of penny = 2.35 m/s

$u_2$ = Initial Velocity of nickel = 0 m/s

$v_1$ = Final Velocity of penny

$v_2$ = Final Velocity of nickel

As momentum and Energy is conserved

$m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}$

${\tfrac {1}{2}}m_{1}u_{1}^{2}+{\tfrac {1}{2}}m_{2}u_{2}^{2}={\tfrac {1}{2}}m_{1}v_{1}^{2}+{\tfrac {1}{2}}m_{2}v_{2}^{2}$

From the two equations we get

$v_{1}=\frac{m_1-m_2}{m_1+m_2}u_{1}+\frac{2m_2}{m_1+m_2}u_2\\\Rightarrow v_1=\frac{0.0025-0.005}{0.0025+0.005}\times 2.35+\frac{2\times 0.5}{0.4005+0.5}\times 0\\\Rightarrow v_1=-0.78333\ m/s$

The final velocity of the penny is 0.78333 m/s in the opposite direction

$v_{2}=\frac{2m_1}{m_1+m_2}u_{1}+\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2}u_2\\\Rightarrow v_2=\frac{2\times 0.0025}{0.0025+0.005}\times 2.35+\frac{0.005-0.0025}{0.005+0.0025}\times 0\\\Rightarrow v_2=1.566\ m/s$

The final velocity of the nickel is 1.566 m/s in the same direction

If a certain mass of mercury has a volume of 0.002 m3 at a temperature of 20°C, what will be the volume at 50°C?

Natalka [10]

By using the combined gas law which says that P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2, assuming constant pressure, the volume at the required temperature can be obtained.((0.002 m3)(50+273.15))/(20+273.15) = volume 2 at 50 degrees C.
This gives the answer 0.0022048 m3
