Answer:

Near the black hole, The gravitational pull is so strong and the black hole has a lot of stress energy. This causes the clock to tick slower than usual and due to this , Time slows down to a great extent.

A 5cm tall object is placed 4cm in front of a converging lens that has a focal length of 8cm. Where is the image located in ____

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

a. -8 cm

Explanation:

$d_{o}$ = distance of the object = 4 cm

$d_{i}$ = distance of the image = ?

$f$ = focal length of the converging lens = 8 cm

using the lens equation

$\frac{1}{d_{o}} + \frac{1}{d_{i}} = \frac{1}{f}$

$\frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{d_{i}} = \frac{1}{8}$

$d_{i}$ = - 8 cm

An 8.00- W resistor is dissipating 100 watts. What are the current through it and the difference of potential across it?

hjlf

Answer:

I= 3.5 amps

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

rating of resistor R= 8 ohms

power P= 100W

Required

The current I

Step two

Yet this power is also given by

$P = I^2R$

make I subject of the formula we have

$I= \sqrt{\frac{P}{R} }$

substitute

$I= \sqrt{\frac{100}{8} }\\\\I=\sqrt{12.5}\\\\I= 3.5 amps$

A child of mass 40.0 kg is in a roller coaster car that travels in a loop of radius 7.00 m. at point a the speed of the car is 1

pav-90 [236]

I attached the missing picture.
The force of seat acting on the child is a reaction the force of child pressing down on the seat. This is the third Newton's law. The force of a child pressing down the seat and the force of the seat pushing up on the child are the same.
There two forces acting on the child. The first one is the gravitational force and the second one is centrifugal force. In this example, the force of gravity is always pulling down, but centrifugal force always acts away from the center of circular motion.
Part A
For point A we have:
$F_a=F_cf-F_g$
In this case, the forces are aligned, centrifugal is pointing up and gravitational is pulling down.
$F_a=m\frac{v^2}{r}-mg=179 $N$
Part B
At the point, B situation is a bit more complicated. In this case force of gravity and centrifugal force are not aligned. We have to look at y components of this forces, y-axis, in this case, is just pointing upward.
$F=F_{cf}\cos(30)-mg=m\frac{v^2}{r}\cos(30)-mg=153.2$N$
Part C
The child will stay in place at point A when centrifugal force and force of gravity are in balance:
$F_g=F_{cf}\\
mg=m\frac{v^2}{r}\\
gr=v^2\\
v=\sqrt{gr}=8.29\frac{m}{s}$
