d=235m

Alpha=35⁰

h=d×sin(alpha)=134.8m

L=d×cos(alpha)=192.5m

Is Obesity primarily due to Genetics?

zepelin [54]

Obesity is primarily caused by a lack of physical activity or by unhealthy dietary habits. The positive energy balance underlying obesity is generally attributed to chronic excess energy intake or reduced physical activity.

adell [148]

Answer:

11.9051g

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{70-140}{0.6}\\\Rightarrow a=-116.67\ m/s^2$

Absolute value of the (negative) average acceleration is 116.67 m/s²

$\dfrac{a}{g}=\dfrac{116.67}{9.8}\\\Rightarrow a=11.9051g$

The deceleration was 11.9051g

A scientist fixes a test charge q′ to point P and then measures the electrostatic force it experiences there. She then calculate

nordsb [41]

Answer:

<em>Correct answer: B.</em>

Explanation:

Electrostatic Field

It measures the electric effect of a charge distribution in its surroundings. If we wanted to test or measure the electric field by using a point-charge of value q', then the electric field is

$\displaystyle E=\frac{F}{q'}$

The electrostatic force between two point charges is

$\displaystyle F=\frac{k\ q_1\ q'}{r^2}$

So, the electric field is

$\displaystyle E=\frac{\frac{k\ q_1\ q'}{r^2}}{q'}$

$\displaystyle E=\frac{k\ q_1}{r^2}$

The theory shows that the electric field doesn't depend on the test charge used, i.e., if we now use q'=-q', the electric force will be of the same magnitude but in the opposite direction, thus the electric field will be the same. Let's recall the formula is used to compute the scalar value of the field, the direction must be studied separately.

Now, if we changed the test charge to another value, say 2q, the measured force will be

$\displaystyle F=\frac{k\ q_1\ 2q}{r^2}$

And the new electric field is

$\displaystyle E=\frac{k\ q_1}{r^2}$

We can see the electric field is not affected by the value of the test charge.

Finally, if we move the test charge to another location and keep the same charge, the electric force will vary and the electric field will be different.

Correct answer: B.
