Since the law of gravitation is an inverse square law if you quadruple the radius the f will drop by a factor of 16 SO the object would weigh 200/16 = 12.5N

In other words, as the distance, or radius, quadruples the weight becomes 1/16 of the original weight. Just plug in 4 for r and when you square it you get 16. The numerator is 1 so that is how the weight becomes 1/16.

Give two ways of reversing the direction of the forces on the coil in the electric motor?​
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

Interchanging the poles of the magnet

Reversing the direction of the applied current

Explanation:

  1. The working of the electric motor is associated with Fleming's left-hand rule.
  2. It states that if a current-carrying conductor is placed inside a magnetic field, it experiences a force in the direction perpendicular to the direction of the electric current and magnetic field.
  3. These three physical quantities are placed in a mutually perpendicular direction.
  4. So, in order to reverse the direction of force, you have to either change the direction of the current or magnetic field.

50 POINTS! A Boy throws a ball horizontally a distance of 22m downrange from the top of a tower that is 20.0m tall. What is his
DerKrebs [107]

The ball's horizontal and vertical velocities at time t are

v_x=v_{xi}

v_y=v_{yi}-gt

but the ball is thrown horizontally, so v_{yi}=0. Its horizontal and vertical positions at time t are

x=v_{xi}t

y=20.0\,\mathrm m-\dfrac g2t^2

The ball travels 22 m horizontally from where it was thrown, so

22\,\mathrm m=v_{xi}t

from which we find the time it takes for the ball to land on the ground is

t=\dfrac{22\,\rm m}{v_{xi}}

When it lands, y=0 and

0=20.0\,\mathrm m-\dfrac{9.8\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}}2\left(\dfrac{22\,\rm m}{v_{xi}}\right)^2

\implies v_i=v_{xi}=11\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

An individual white LED (light-emitting diode) has an efficiency of 20% and uses 1.0 W of electric power. a. How many LEDs must
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

8, 8 W

Explanation:

The useful power of 1 Light Emitting Diode is

0.2\times 1=0.2\ W

Total power required is 1.6 W

Number of Light Emitting Diodes would be

n=\dfrac{1.6}{0.2}\\\Rightarrow n=8

The number of Light Emitting Diodes is 8.

Power would be

P=8\times 1=8\ W

The power that is required to run the Light Emitting Diodes is 8 W

cicadas produce a sound that has a frequency of 123 Hz. what is the wavelength of this sound in the air? the speed of sound in a
mojhsa [17]

Answer: 2.72 metres

Explanation:

Given that:

frequency of sound F = 123 Hz. wavelength of sound in the air = ?

speed of sound in air V = 334 m/s

Recall that wavelength is the distance covered by the wave after one complete cycle. It is measured in metres, and represented by the symbol λ.

So, apply V = F λ

λ = V /F

λ = 334m/s / 123Hz

λ = 2.72m

Thus, the wavelength of this sound in the air is 2.72 metres

Satellite technology has allowed us to monitor areas that were once so remote that we had no way of monitoring them. Review the
wolverine [178]

Answer: Satellite technology allows us to monitor and track the changes in the polar ice sheets. This can help us plan and direct conservation efforts for the animals that depend on polar ice in order to survive.

Explanation:

A satellite orbits around Earth. We have different satellites for different purposes. A satellite has transmitter and receiver for sending and receiving information.  For the use of environment, only one statement seems correct that is: Satellite technology allows us to monitor and track the changes in the polar ice sheets. This can help us plan and direct conservation efforts for the animals that depend on polar ice in order to survive.

Rest options are true but not from the environment point of view.

We know that animals are dependent on the environment for their survival. polar ice caps are difficult to reach and monitor. For making conservation plan for the animals residing in these remote areas, satellite technology is very crucial.
