Ceres, dwarf planet, the largest asteroid in the main asteroid belt, and the first asteroid to be discovered. Ceres was found, serendipitously, by the Italian astronomer Giuseppe Piazzi of the Palermo Observatory on January 1, 1801.

A robot starts from a certain point and moves east for a distance of 5.0 meters, then goes north for 3.0 meters, and then turns
pashok25 [27]

Explanation:

It is given that, a robot starts from a certain point and moves east for a distance of 5.0 meters, then goes north for 3.0 meters, and then turns west for 2.0 meters.

Let east is +x, west is -x north is +y.

When it moves east for a distance of 5.0 meters, it means (5,0)

When it goes north for 3.0 meters, and then turns west for 2.0 meters, it means (0,3) +(-2,0)

(a) x-y coordinates for the resultant vector is (3,3)

(b) The magnitude of the resultant vector for the robot is given by :

R=\sqrt{3^2+3^2} \\\\R=4.24\ m

Two small conducting point charges, separated by 0.4 m, carry a total charge of 200 C. They repel one another with a force of 12
Lunna [17]

Answer:

200 C

Explanation:

Let C1 and C2 be their charges. According to Coulomb's law

F_C = k\frac{C_1C_2}{R^2}

where k = 8.99\times10^9 nm^2/C^2 is the constant, R = 0.4m is the distance between them, F = 120 N is their resulting charge force

120 = 8.99\times10^9\frac{C_1C_2}{0.4^2}

C_1C_2 = \frac{120*0.4^2}{8.99\times10^9} = 2.13\times10^{-9}

Since their total charge is 200C:

C_1 + C_2 = 200 or C_1 = 200 - C_2

We can substitute the above equation

C_1C_2 = (200 - C_2)C_2 = 2.13\times10^{-9}

-C_2^2 +200C_2 - 2.13\times10^{-9} = 0

C= \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

C= \frac{-200\pm \sqrt{(200)^2 - 4*(-1)*(-0.00000000213)}}{2*(-1)}

C= \frac{-200\pm200}{-2}

C = 1.06 \times 10^{-11} or C \approx 200

So the larger charge is C = 200 C

Electric field lines show the strength and _____ of an electric field.
Gwar [14]
So we want to know what do electric field lines show except strength of the electric field. Electric field lines are lines that show us the field strength and the DIRECTION of the electric field. If the lines point away from the charge that is producing the lines, the charge is positive, and if the lines point towards the charge that is producing them that charge is negative.

How does light determine whether it acts as a particle or a wave?
pishuonlain [190]
Great question. Albert Einstein proved that light acts as both a particle and a wave in his 1905 paper. This is called wave-particle duality. 
With quantum mechanics, it is easy to prove that light behaves as both a particle and a wave. 
When UV light hits a metal surface, it causes an emission of electrons. This "photoelectric effect" proves how light behaves.

Not sure if it went through last time. Please help asap!
Olin [163]
The equation for force is F=ma. Because we have the value of mass (0.42 kg) and the acceleration (14.8 m/s^2), simply plug them into the equation for force to get
0.42 \times 14.8 = 6.22
The answer is 6.22 N because newtons are the unit used to measure force.
