Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

The Earth is about 4x bigger than the moon. Scientists speculate that the moon was once part of Earth, until something hit the Earth, and broke off a large chunk of it. These pieces were flung off the Earth, and began to orbit it. Slowly, the pieces were mashed together by gravity, and formed the moon.

A point charge with a charge q1 = 2.30 μC is held stationary at the origin. A second point charge with a charge q2 = -5.00 μC mo

Alla [95]

Answer:

W = 2.74 J

Explanation:

The work done by the charge on the origin to the moving charge is equal to the difference in the potential energy of the charges.

This is the electrostatic equivalent of the work-energy theorem.

$W = \Delta U = U_2 - U_1$

where the potential energy is defined as follows

$U = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}$

Let's first calculate the distance 'r' for both positions.

$r_1 = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_0)^2 + (y_1 - y_0)^2} = \sqrt{(0.170 - 0)^2 + (0 - 0)^2} = 0.170~m\\r_2 = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_0)^2 + (y_2 - y_0)^2} = \sqrt{(0.250 - 0)^2 + (0.250 - 0)^2} = 0.353~m$

Now, we can calculate the potential energies for both positions.

$U_1 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r_1^2} = \frac{(8.99\times 10^9)(2.3\times 10^{-6})(-5\times 10^{-6})}{(0.170)^2} = -3.57~J\\U_2 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r_2^2} = \frac{(8.99\times 10^9)(2.3\times 10^{-6})(-5\times 10^{-6})}{(0.3530)^2} = -0.829~J$

Finally, the total work done on the moving particle can be calculated.

$W = U_2 - U_1 = (-0.829) - (-3.57) = 2.74~J$

A plane starting at rest at one end of a runway undergoes a uniform acceleration of 4.8 m/s

yKpoI14uk [10]

initial velocity=0m/s=u
Acceleration=a=4.8m/s^2
Time=t=15s

Final velocity be v

$\\ \sf\longmapsto v=u+at$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto v=0+4.8(15)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto v=72m/s$

A Scooter travelling at 10m/s speed up to 20m/s in 4 sec.find the acceleration of scooter

stira [4]

Answer:

2.5 m/s²

Explanation:

Given,

Initial speed ( u ) = 10 m/s

Final speed ( v ) = 20 m/s

Time ( t ) = 4 seconds

To find : Acceleration ( a ) = ?

Formula : -

a = ( v - u ) / t

a = ( 20 - 10 ) / 4

= 10 / 4

= 5 / 2

a = 2.5 m/s²

Therefore,

The acceleration of the scooter is 2.5 m/s²

Compare and contrast the terms vaporizing and condensation.

JulsSmile [24]

The terms are both about changing states. Vaporizing is when you heat something up into a vapor; condensation is when you lower a vapors temperature to make it become a liquid state.
