The gravitational force between two objects is F. If masses of both the objects are halved without altering the distance between them, the gravitational force would become: Option a) F/4 Option b) F/2 Option c) 2F Option d) F^2

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:F/4

Explanation:

F1=G M1M2/R^2

F2=G M1M2/4R^2      (1/2*1/2)

F1/F2=G M1M2/R^2 *G M1M2/4R^2

NOW everything gets canceled and we are left with-

F1/F2=4

F1/4=F2

so Option a is right.

Briefly describe the history of the metric system as it applies to the meter and how the definition of a meter has changed over time.

Answers

The metricsystem was first put into practice in 1799, during the French Revolution, when the existing system of measures became impractical for trade and was supplanted by a decimal system based on the kilogram and the meter.

What is metric system?

During the FrenchRevolution, the existing system of measures became impractical for trade and was replaced by a decimalsystem based on the kilogram and the meter, and the metricsystem was born.

In 1793, the meter was defined as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the NorthPole along a great circle, implying that the Earth's circumference is approximately 40000 km.

The meter was redefined in 1799 in terms of a prototype meter bar.

The meter was introduced as a new unit of length, defined as one ten-millionth of the shortestdistance between the NorthPole and the Equator passing through Paris, assuming an Earth flattening of 1/334.

Thus, this is the history of the metric system as it applies to the meter.

Answer and explanation;

In 1670 Gabriel Mouton, Vicar of St. Paul’s Church and an astronomer proposed the swing  length  of  a  pendulum  with  a  frequency  of  one  beat  per  second  as  the  unit  of length.

In 1791 the Commission of the French Academy of Sciences proposed the name meter to the unit of length. It would equal one tens-millionth of the distance from the North Pole to the equator along the meridian through Paris.It is realistically represented by the distance between two marks on an iron bar kept in Paris.

In 1889 the 1st General Conference on Weights and Measures define the meter as the distance between two lines on a standard bar that made of an alloy of 90%platinum with 10%iridium.

In 1960 the meter was redefined as 1650763.73 wavelengths of orange-red light, in a vacuum, produced by burning the element krypton (Kr-86).

In 1984 the Geneva Conference on Weights and Measures has  defined  the  meter  as  the  distance  light  travels,  in  a  vacuum,  in 1299792458⁄ seconds  with  time  measured  by  a  cesium-133  atomic  clock  which  emits  pulses  of radiation at very rapid, regular intervals.

Compared to yellow light, orange light has A. a different polarization.
B. a faster wave velocity.
C. the same frequency.
D. a longer wavelength.

Answers


Orange light always has a longer wavelength than yellow light. 
That's how your eye and brain decide that it's orange and not yellow.

What is the minimum resistance which can be made using five resistors each of 1/5

Answers

The minimum resistance to the flow of electrical current is achieved when
the resistors are connected in parallel, just as the minimum resistance to the
flow of vehicular traffic is achieved when several lanes are built in parallel.

When 5 equal resistors are connected in parallel, the net resistance of their
combination is just 1/5 of the value of each one. 

So 5 equal resistors in parallel, each with a resistance of 1/5 ohm, have a
combined net resistance 0f 1/25 ohm.

Why do you think sound travels faster in steel than it does in wood? (Hint: Think about the densities of the two materials, and how the particles might be arranged.)

Answers

Answer:

If sound waves of the same energy were passed through a block of wood and a block of steel, which is more dense than the wood, the molecules of the steel would vibrate at a slower rate. Sound moves faster through denser air because the molecules are closer together in dense air and sound can be more easily passed on.

Explanation:

In a container of negligible heat capacity, mix 6kg of ice at -40 ° C with 3kg of steam at 120 ° C, determine the equilibrium temperature.

Answers

Answer:

100°C

Explanation:

The heat gained by the ice equals the heat lost by the steam, so the total heat transfer equals 0.

Heat lost by the steam as it cools to 100°C:

q = mCΔT

q = (3 kg) (2.00 kJ/kg/K) (100°C − 120°C)

q = -120 kJ

Total heat so far is negative.

Heat lost by the steam as it condenses:

q = -mL

q = -(3 kg) (2256 kJ/kg)

q = -6768 kJ

Heat absorbed by the ice as it warms to 0°C:

q = mCΔT

q = (6 kg) (2.11 kJ/kg/K) (0°C − (-40°C))

q = 506.4 kJ

Heat absorbed by the ice as it melts:

q = mL

q = (6 kg) (335 kJ/kg)

q = 2010 kJ

Heat absorbed by the water as it warms to 100°C:

q = mCΔT

q = (6 kg) (4.18 kJ/kg/K) (100°C − 0°C)

q = 2508 kJ

The total heat absorbed by the ice by heating it to 100°C is 5024.4 kJ.

If the steam is fully condensed, it loses a total of -6888 kJ.

Therefore, the steam does not fully condense.  The equilibrium temperature is therefore 100°C
