<span>10 times as much. Since F=m*a, and a is constant, the only thing that affects force is the mass.

In response to the below answer, the acceleration due to gravity does not change. The force due to gravity definitely DOES change depending on the mass of the object. Since the force is what the problem asks for, the answer is 10</span>

If this is happening on Earth, then the force of gravity between the Earth and the brick is 98 Newtons. It doesn't matter whether the brick is falling, rising, dropped in a vacuum, in water, or into chicken soup, or what else is dropped near it. None of that has any effect on the gravitational force between the Earth and the brick.

If the cold temperature reservoir of a Carnot engine is held at a constant 306 K, what temperature should the hot reservoir be k
Paraphin [41]
Efficiency η of a Carnot engine is defined to be: 
<span>η = 1 - Tc / Th = (Th - Tc) / Th </span>
<span>where </span>
<span>Tc is the absolute temperature of the cold reservoir, and </span>
<span>Th is the absolute temperature of the hot reservoir. </span>

<span>In this case, given is η=22% and Th - Tc = 75K </span>
<span>Notice that although temperature difference is given in °C it has same numerical value in Kelvins because magnitude of the degree Celsius is exactly equal to that of the Kelvin (the difference between two scales is only in their starting points). </span>

<span>Th = (Th - Tc) / η </span>
<span>Th = 75 / 0.22 = 341 K (rounded to closest number) </span>
<span>Tc = Th - 75 = 266 K </span>

<span>Lower temperature is Tc = 266 K </span>
<span>Higher temperature is Th = 341 K</span>

For a metal that has an electrical conductivity of 7.1 x 107 (Ω-m)-1, do the following: (a) Calculate the resistance (in Ω) of a
jonny [76]

Answer:

(a) 0.0178 Ω

(b) 3.4 A

(c) 6.4 x 10⁵ A/m²

(d) 9.01 x 10⁻³ V/m

Explanation:

(a)

σ = Electrical conductivity = 7.1 x 10⁷ Ω-m⁻¹

d = diameter of the wire = 2.6 mm = 2.6 x 10⁻³ m

Area of cross-section of the wire is given as

A = (0.25) π d²

A = (0.25) (3.14) (2.6 x 10⁻³)²

A = 5.3 x 10⁻⁶ m²

L = length of the wire = 6.7 m

Resistance of the wire is given as

R=\frac{L}{A\sigma }

R=\frac{6.7}{(5.3\times10^{-6})(7.1\times10^{7}) }

R = 0.0178 Ω

(b)

V = potential drop across the ends of wire = 0.060 volts

i = current flowing in the wire

Using ohm's law, current flowing is given as

i = \frac{V}{R}

i = \frac{0.060}{0.0178}

i = 3.4 A

(c)

Current density is given as

J = \frac{i}{A}

J = \frac{3.4}{5.3\times10^{-6}}

J = 6.4 x 10⁵ A/m²

(d)

Magnitude of electric field is given as

E = \frac{J}{\sigma }

E = \frac{6.4 \times 10^{5}}{ 7.1 \times 10^{7}}

E = 9.01 x 10⁻³ V/m

In March 2006, two small satellites were discovered orbiting Pluto, one at a distance of 48,000 km and the other at 64,000 km. P
tatiyna

Answer:

Time period for first satellites 24.46 days and for second satellites 37.67 days

Explanation:

Given :

Distance of first satellites r_{sat1} = 48000 \times 10^{3} m

Distance of second satellites r _{sat2} = 64000 \times 10^{3} m

Distance of charon r_{c} = 19600 \times 10^{3} m

Time period of charon T_{c} = 6.39 days

From the kepler's third law,

Square of the time period is proportional to the cube of the semi major axis.

   T^{2} = r^{3}

   \frac{T}{r^{\frac{3}{2} } } = constant

For first satellites,

  \frac{T_{c} }{r_{c} ^{\frac{3}{2} }  }  = \frac{T_{sat1} }{r_{sat1} ^{\frac{3}{2} }  }

{T_{sat1} } = 6.39 \times \frac{(48000 \times 10^{3} )^{\frac{3}{2} } }{(19600\times 10^{3} )^{\frac{3}{2} }}

T_{sat1} = 24.46 days

For second satellites,

   \frac{T_{c} }{r_{c} ^{\frac{3}{2} }  }  = \frac{T_{sat2} }{r_{sat2} ^{\frac{3}{2} }  }

{T_{sat2} } = 6.39 \times \frac{(64000 \times 10^{3} )^{\frac{3}{2} } }{(19600\times 10^{3} )^{\frac{3}{2} }}

T_{sat2} = 37.67 days

Therefore, time period for first satellites = 24.46 days and for second satellites 37.67 days

An electron in a vacuum chamber is fired with a speed of 9800 km/s toward a large, uniformly charged plate 75 cm away. The elect
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

The plate's surface charge density is -8.056\times10^{-9}\ C/m^2

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed = 9800 km/s

Distance d= 75 cm

Distance d' =15 cm

Suppose we determine the plate's surface charge density?

We need to calculate the surface charge density

Using work energy theorem

W=\Delta K.E

W=\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{f}^2-\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{i}^2

Here, final velocity is zero

W=0-\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{i}^2...(I)

We know that,

W=-Fd

W=-E\times e\times d

W=-\dfrac{\lambda}{2\epsilon_{0}}\times e\times d...(II)

From equation (I) and (II)

-\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{i}^2=-\dfrac{\lambda}{2\epsilon_{0}}\times e\times d

Charge is negative for electron

\lambda=\dfrac{mv^2\epsilon_{0}}{(-e)d}

Put the value into the formula

\lambda=-\dfrac{9.1\times10^{-31}\times(9800\times10^{3})^2\times8.85\times10^{-12}}{1.6\times10^{-19}\times(75-15)\times10^{-2}}

\lambda=-8.056\times10^{-9}\ C/m^2

Hence, The plate's surface charge density is -8.056\times10^{-9}\ C/m^2
