Answer:C

Explanation:

Radar waves will be useful to examine the surface of the planet.

Radio waves are the shorter wavelength microwaves ranging approximately 1 cm.

Short wavelength causes large reflection from large objects.  These waves are useful to detect smaller objects like water drops in the cloud.

They can penetrate clouds and that is why they are used in weather forecasting, air traffic control, etc.

Two resistors have resistances R(smaller) and R(larger), where R(smaller) < R(larger). When the resistors are connected in se
just olya [345]

Answer:

1.61ohms and 4.39ohms

Explanation:

According to ohm's law which States that the current (I) passing through a metallic conductor at constant temperature is directly proportional to the potential difference (V) across its ends. Mathematically, E = IRt where;

E is the electromotive force

I is the current

Rt is the effective resistance

Let the resistances be R and r

When the resistors are connected in series to a 12.0-V battery and the current from the battery is 2.00 A, the equation becomes;

12 = 2(R+r)

Rt = R+r (connection in series)

6 = R+r ...(1)

If the resistors are connected in parallel to the battery and the total current from the battery is 10.2 A, the equation will become;

12 = 10.2(1/R+1/r)

Since 1/Rt = 1/R+1/r (parallel connection)

Rt = R×r/R+r

12 = 10.2(Rr/R+r)

12(R+r) = 10.2Rr ... (2)

Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously to get the resistances. From (1), R = 6-r...(3)

Substituting equation 3 into 2 we have;

12{(6-r)+r} = 10.2(6-r)r

12(6-r+r) = 10.2(6r-r²)

72 = 10.2(6r-r²)

36 = 5.1(6r-r²)

36 = 30.6r-5.1r²

5.1r²-30.6r +36 =

r = 30.6±√30.6²-4(5.1)(36)/2(5.1)

r = 30.6±√936.36-734.4/10.2

r = 30.6±√201.96/10.2

r = 30.6±14.2/10.2

r = 44.8/10.2 and r = 16.4/10.2

r = 4.39 and 1.61ohms

Since R+r = 6

R+1.61 = 6

R = 6-1.61

R = 4.39ohms

Therefore the resistances are 1.61ohms and 4.39ohms

Consider the previous situation. Under what condition would the acceleration of the center of mass be zero? Keep in mind that F1
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

a) m₁ = m₂  F₁ₓ = F₂ₓ

b) m₁ << m₂   F₂ₓ =0

Explanation:

This interesting exercise is unclear your statement, so that in a center of mass system has an acceleration of zero it is necessary that the sum of the forces on each axis is zero, to see this we write Newton's second law

     ∑ F = m a

for acceleration to be zero implies that the net force is zero.

we must write the expression for the center of mass

        x_{cm} = 1 / M (m₁ x₁ + m₂ x₂)

now let's use the derivatives

      a_{cm} = d² x_{cm}/dt² = 1 / M (m₁ a₁ + m₂a₂)

where M is the total mass M = m₁ + m₂

     so that the acceleration of the center of mass is zero

               0 = 1 / M (m₁ a₁ + m₂a₂)

               m₁ a₁ = - m₂ a₂

In the case that we have components on the x axis, the modulus of the two forces are equal and their direction is opposite, therefore

   F₁ₓ = -F₂ₓ

b)r when the two masses are equal , in the case of a mass greater than the other m₁ << m₂

      acm = d2 xcm / dt2 = 1 / M (m1 a1 + m2a2)

so that the acceleration of the center of mass is zero

               0 = 1 / M (m1 a1 + m2a2)

               m1 a1 = - m 2 a2

with the initial condition, we can despise m₁, therefore

                0 = m₂a₂

 if we use Newton's second law

              F₂ = 0

       

I tell you that in this case with a very high mass difference the force on the largest mass must be almost zero

If a train is going 60 m/s hits the brakes, and it takes the train 1 minute 25 seconds to stop, what is the train’s acceleration
Cloud [144]
Hey there, the answer is ..............................  About 0.7 m/sec^2
<span>
Acceleration is the change in speed / time </span>

<span>Change in speed is 60 m/sec </span>

<span>Time is 1 minute 25 second. Convert that to seconds. </span>

<span>Divide the change in speed by the time in seconds.

About 0.7 m/sec^2

 </span><span>So the acceleration is - 60 / 85 = - 0.71 m/s^2 

HOPE I HELPED!!!!!!!!!!

Two particles, each of mass 7.0 kg, are a distance 3.0 m apart. To bring a third particle, with mass 21 kg, from far away to a r
garri49 [273]

Answer: the external agent must do work equal to -1.3 × 10⁻⁸ J

Explanation:

Given that;

Mass M1 = 7.0 kg

r = 3.0/2 m = 1.5 m

Mass M2 = 21 kg

we know that G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²

work done by an external agent W = -2GM2M1 / r

so we substitute

W = (-2 × 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ × 21 × 7) / 1.5

W = -1.96098 × 10⁻⁸ / 1.5

W = -1.3 × 10⁻⁸ J

Therefore the external agent must do work equal to -1.3 × 10⁻⁸ J

What are some ways you can vary your tone of voice to help you communicate effectively with others? A. Speaking aggressively
Leno4ka [110]
The answer is D, talking more loudly or quietly.
<span>
An expressive voice can bring totally different meaning to what you are saying. If you speak in a monotone voice, you are implying that you do not care about what you are saying or what the other person is talking about. If you speak expressively with some parts quieter or louder to make a point, it lets the listener know that you care about what you are saying and you care about what they have to say too. You can also emphasize a point by speaking louder or indicate that something is not as important by speaking softer.</span>
