The earth's gravity keeps us from flying out to space. how can you explain that we have a stronger gravitational attraction to the earth than to the sun? question options: the sun is bigger, but has a less mass than the earth. the sun has a larger mass so it has less gravitational pull. we are closer to the sun than the earth. we are closer to the earth than the sun.

The step-down transformer gives a current of 10a at 24v if the primary voltage is 240v calculate the 1_primary current 2_the power input 3_the power output

Follow these directions and answer the questions. 1. set up the ripple tank as in previous investigations. 2. bend the rubber tube to form a "concave mirror" and place in the ripple tank. the water level must be below the top of the hose. 3. generate a few straight pulses with the dowel and observe the reflected waves. do the waves focus (come together) upon reflection? can you locate the place where the waves meet? 4. touch the water surface where the waves converged. what happens to the reflected wave? 5. move your finger twice that distance from the hose (2f = c of c, center of the curvature) and touch the water again. does the image (the reflected wave) appear in the same location (c of c)? you may have to experiment before you find the exact location. sometimes it is hard to visualize with the ripple tank because the waves move so quickly. likewise, it is impossible to "see" light waves because they have such small wavelengths and move at the speed of light. however, both are examples of transverse waves and behave in the same way when a parallel wave fronts hit a curved surface.

Question 1 (5 pts): what is the maximum distance for which you can you resolve the two individual headlights of an on-coming truck as two separate lights rather than one if the headlights are separated by 2.00 m and your eye has a diameter of 1.00 centimeter? assume a wavelength of 500 nm.
