Halite is transparent, but it can be died many different colors calcite is a white or colorless mineral consisting of calcium carbonate. It is a major constituent of sedimentary rocks such as limestone, marble, and chalk, can occur in crystalline form gypsum is a soft white or gray mineral consisting of hydrated calcium sulfate.

You're driving down the highway late one night at 20 m/s when a deer steps onto the road 38 m in front of you.Your reaction time
shtirl [24]

Consider the motion of the car before brakes are applied:

v₀ = maximum initial velocity of the car before the brakes are applied

t = reaction time = 0.50 s

x₀ = distance traveled by the car before brakes are applied

since car moves at constant speed before brakes are applied

Using the equation

x₀ = v₀ t

x₀ = v₀  (0.50)


Consider the motion after brakes are applied :

v₀ = initial velocity of the car before the brakes are applied

a = acceleration = - 10 m/s²

v = final velocity of the car after it comes to stop = 0 m/s

x = stopping distance = initial distance - distance traveled before applying the brakes = 38 - x₀ = 38 - v₀  (0.50)

Using the equation

v² = v²₀ + 2 a x

inserting the values

0² = v²₀ + 2 (- 10) (38 - v₀  (0.50))

v²₀ = 20 (38 - v₀  (0.50))

v₀ = 23 m/s

a wire with mass per unit length 75 g/m runs horizontally at right angles to a uniform horizontal 0.12 T magnetic field. what am
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

The amount of current that must flow through the wire for it to be suspended against gravity by magnetic force = 6.125 A

Explanation:

Force on a wire carrying current in an electric field is given by

F = (B)(I)(L) sin θ

For this question,

The magnetic force must match the weight of the wire.

F = mg

mg = (B)(I)(L) sin θ

(m/L)g = (B)(I) sin θ

Mass per unit length = 75 g/m = 0.075 kg/m

B = magnetic field = 0.12 T

I = ?

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s

θ = angle between wire's current direction and magnetic field = 90°

0.075 × 9.8 = 0.12 × I sin 90°

I = 0.075 × 9.8/0.12 = 6.125 A

Explain briefly how solar energy is used to generate electricity
valkas [14]

Answer:

Solar radiation may be converted directly into electricity by solar cells (photovoltaic cells). In such cells, a small electric voltage is generated when light strikes the junction between a metal and a semiconductor (such as silicon) or the junction between two different semiconductors.
