Since the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of both interacting objects, more massive objects will attract each other with a greater gravitational force. So as the mass of either object increases, the force of gravitational attraction between them also increases.

I'd like you to explain this to me, I don't have a clue on how to do this

Westkost [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Spanish flu pandemic of 1918, the deadliest in history, infected an estimated 500 million people worldwide about one-third of the planet’s population and killed an estimated 20 million to 50 million victims, including some 675,000 Americans. The 1918 flu was first observed in Europe, the United States and parts of Asia before swiftly spreading around the world. At the time, there were no effective drugs or vaccines to treat this killer flu strain. Citizens were ordered to wear masks, schools, theaters and businesses were shuttered and bodies piled up in makeshift morgues.

Does this sound familiar?

Its the same thing but with a different name called the Corona virus pandemic the same thing happened in 1918 and now it is happening again in 2020 , but in in 2020 there are far less people infected by the Corona virus as compared to the Spanish flu the numbers approximate around 70 million infected and deaths are around 2 million.

The rapid spread of Spanish flu in the fall of 1918 was at least partially to blame on public health officials unwilling to impose quarantines during wartime. The public health response to the crisis in the United States was further hampered by a severe nursing shortage as thousands of nurses had been deployed to military camps and the front lines. But one of the chief reasons that the Spanish flu claimed so many lives in 1918 was that science simply didn’t have the tools to develop a vaccine for the virus. Microscopes couldn’t even see something as incredibly small as a virus until the 1930s.

That is why the Spanish Flu claimed so many lives in 1918 and the Corona Virus didn't claim that many.

The Corona Virus patients with respect to Spanish Flu patients exponentially decreased because in 2020 we had the specific tools to fight the virus and since mankind was aware when the world engrossed into the pandemic 100 years before the new the risks that it could impose on the world , People started to Quarantine themselves, more nurses/doctors are available rather than in the era of the 19th century.

Mathematically we would say that the exponential growth would be:

$y=ab^x$

This is an exponential function, which means as you increase x , y increases exponentially, and where a is the initial value and b is the growth factor.

For example:

There are 100,000 cases of Coronavirus when the virus outbroke. If the number of cases doubles every week then how many cases would be there in 10 weeks?

So the solution would be

$y=ab^x\\y=100000(2)^{10}\\y=102400000$

Which means people infected with the virus would be approximate 102.5 million. But since this kind of pandemic already broke out in 1918 called the Spanish flu mankind was wise and controlled its growth factor (b) by Quarantining people , shutting down businesses, schools and implying them to work from home , closing off cafeteria's restaurants for dine in purposes and just allowing take away to reduce human contact, and since 1918 we have more doctors and nurses to treat the infected in 2020 we reduced the outbreak to 70 million in about 10 months other wise it could have been 100 million in just 2.5 months as we can see.

So guys stay indoors just go out if you REALLY need something, avoid meeting others , wear masks and gloves :)

A wire 2.80 m in length carries a current of 5.60 A in a region where a uniform magnetic field has a magnitude of 0.300 T. Calcu

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Complete question:

A wire 2.80 m in length carries a current of 5.60 A in a region where a uniform magnetic field has a magnitude of 0.300 T. Calculate the magnitude of the magnetic force on the wire assuming the following angles between the magnetic field and the current.

a) 60 ⁰

b) 90 ⁰

c) 120 ⁰

Answer:

(a) When the angle, θ = 60 ⁰, force = 4.07 N

(b) When the angle, θ = 90 ⁰, force = 4.7 N

Explanation:

Given;

length of the wire, L = 2.8 m

current carried by the wire, I = 5.6 A

magnitude of the magnetic force, F = 0.3 T

The magnitude of the magnetic force is calculated as follows;

$F = BIl \ sin(\theta)$

(a) When the angle, θ = 60 ⁰

$F = BIl \ sin(\theta)\\\\F = 0.3 \times 5.6 \times 2.8 \times sin(60)\\\\F = 4.07 \ N$

(b) When the angle, θ = 90 ⁰

$F = BIl \ sin(\theta)\\\\F = 0.3 \times 5.6 \times 2.8 \times sin(90)\\\\F = 4.7 \ N$

$F = BIl \ sin(\theta)\\\\F = 0.3 \times 5.6 \times 2.8 \times sin(120)\\\\F = 4.07 \ N$

An electric bulb is marked 40volts ,230w another bulb is marked 40w,110v

Andrej [43]

Answer:

a. The ratio of their resistance is 2783:64

b. The ratio of their energy is 4:23

c. The charge on the first bulb is 5.75 C

The charge on the second bulb is $0.\overline {36}$ C

Explanation:

The voltage on one of the electric bulbs, V₁ = 40 volts

The power rating of the bulb, P₁ = 230 w

The voltage on the other electric bulbs, V₂ = 110 volts

The power rating of the bulb, P₂ = 40 w

a. The power is given by the formula, P = I·V = V²/R

Therefore, R = V²/P

For the first bulb, the resistance, R₁ = 40²/230 ≈ 6.96

The resistance of the second bulb, R₂ = 110²/40

The ratio of their resistance, R₂/R₁ = (110²/40)/(40²/230) = 2783/64

∴ The ratio of their resistance, R₂:R₁ = 2783:64

b. The energy of a bulb, E = t × P

Where;

t = The time in which the bulb is powered on

∴ The energy of the first bulb, E₁ = 230 w × t

The energy of the second bulb, E₂ = 40 w × t

The ratio of their energy, E₂/E₁ = (40 w × t)/(230 w × t) = 4/23

∴ The ratio of their energy, E₂:E₁ = 4:23

c. The charge on a bulb, 'Q', is given by the formula, Q = I × t

Where;

I = The current flowing through the bulb

From P = I·V, we get;

I = P/V

For the first bulb, the current, I = 230 w/40 V = 5.75 amperes

The charge on the first bulb per second (t = 1) is therefore;

Q₁ = 5.75 A × 1 s = 5.75 C

The charge on the first bulb, Q₁ = 5.75 C

Similarly, the charge on the second bulb, Q₂ = (40 W/110 V) × 1 s = $0.\overline {36}$ C

The charge on the second bulb, Q₂ = $0.\overline {36}$ C.

d. The question has left out parts

The engine in an imaginary sports car can provide constant power to the wheels over a range of speeds from 0 to 70 miles per hou

Mama L [17]

A) Time needed: 6.24 s

B) Time needed: 2.86 s

Explanation:

In this part, we are told that the power if the engine is constant. The power of the engine is given by

$P=\frac{W}{t}$

where

W is the work done

t is the time

This means that the power of the engine is proportional to the work done, and therefore, to the kinetic energy of the car:

$P=\frac{\frac{1}{2}mv^2}{t}=const.$

where m is the mass of the car and v its velocity.

SInce power is constant, we can write:

$\frac{\frac{1}{2}mv_1^2}{t_1^2}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}mv_2^2}{t_2}$

where:

$t_1=1.40 s$ is the time the car needs to accelerates to $v_1=28.0 mph$

$t_2$ is the time the car needs to accelerate to $v_2=57.0 mph$

Therefore, solving for $t_2$ ,

$t_2 = \frac{v^2}{u^2}t_1=\frac{57^2}{28^2}(1.40)=6.24 s$

First of all, we have to calculate the acceleration of the car. We can do it using the following equation:

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

where:

u = 0 is the initial velocity

$v=28.0 mph \cdot \frac{1609 m/mi}{3600 s/h}=12.5 m/s$ is the final velocity

t = 1.40 s is the time elapsed

Substituting, we find the acceleration:

$a=\frac{12.5-0}{1.40}=8.9 m/s^2$

In this part, we are told that the force exerted by the engine is constant: according to Newton's second law, acceleration is proportional to the force,

$F=ma$

This means that the acceleration is also constant.

Now we want to find how long the car takes to accelerate to a final velocity of

$v=57.0 mph \cdot \frac{1609}{3600}=25.5 m/s$

From an initial velocity of

u = 0

Using again the same suvat equation, and using the acceleration we found previously, we find:

$t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{25.5-0}{8.9}=2.87 s$
