Which is NOT true of a scientific law?

If the Sun suddenly turned off, we would not know it until its light stopped coming. How long would that be, given that the Sun

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

8.33 minutes

Explanation:

First let us find out how much time it takes for the light for the sun to reach the earth

Distance between Earth and Sun is 1.5×10¹¹ m

Speed of light = 3×10⁸ m/s

$\text{Time taken}=\frac{1.5\times 10^{11}}{3\times 10^8}\\\Rightarrow \text{Time taken}=500\ seconds$

Converting to minutes

$500\ seconds=\frac{500}{60}=8.33\ minutes$

So, it takes 8.33 minutes for the light from the sun to reach Earth.

This means that we would be receiving light for 8.33 minutes after the Sun turned off.

Magma are named after what rocks. Basaltic magma forms when rocks in the

a_sh-v [17]

Basaltic magma (properly called mafic magma) forms in areas of the mantle where silica (SiO2) is low, but iron and magnesium is high. This usually and most famously occurs along spreading ridges, where oceanic crust is formed, but can occur anywhere -- including surface volcanoes, which can form flood basalts as we commonly know them.

and can you help me with some questions as well? f you dont mind

Write each force in component form:

v ₁ : 50 N due east → (50 N) i

v ₂ : 80 N at N 45° E → (80 N) (cos(45°) i + sin(45°) j ) ≈ (56.5 N) (i + j )

The resultant force is the sum of these two vectors:

r = v ₁ + v ₂ ≈ (106.5 N) i + (56.5 N) j

Its magnitude is

|| r || = √[(106.5 N)² + (56.5 N)²] ≈ 121 N

and has direction θ such that

tan(θ) = (56.5 N) / (106.5 N) → θ ≈ 28.0°

i.e. a direction of about E 28.0° N. (Just to clear up any confusion, I mean 28.0° north of east, or 28.0° relative to the positive x-axis.)

An electron with kinetic energy 2.9 keV moving along the positive direction of an x axis enters a region in which a uniform elec

Vladimir79 [104]

The electric force on the electron is opposite in direction to the electric field E. E points in the -y direction, so the electric force will point in the +y direction. The magnitude of the electric force is given by:

F = Eq

F = electric force, E = electric field strength, q = electron charge

We need to set up a magnetic field such that the magnetic force on the electron balances out the electric force. Since the electric force points in the +y direction, we need the magnetic force to point in the -y direction. Using the reversed right hand rule, the magnetic field must point in the -z direction for this to happen. Since the direction is perpendicular to the +x direction of the electron's velocity, the magnetic force is given by:

F = qvB

F = magnetic force, q = charge, v = velocity, B = magnetic field strength

The electric force must equal the magnetic force.

Eq = qvB

Do some algebra to isolate B:

E = vB

B = E/v

Let's solve for the electron's velocity. Its kinetic energy is given by:

KE = 0.5mv²

KE = kinetic energy, m = mass, v = velocity

Given values:

KE = 2.9keV = 4.6×10⁻¹⁶J

m = 9.1×10⁻³¹kg

Plug in and solve for v:

4.6×10⁻¹⁶ = 0.5(9.1×10⁻³¹)v²

v = 3.2×10⁷m/s

B = E/v

Given values:

E = 7500V/m

v = 3.2×10⁷m/s

Plug in and solve for B:

B = 7500/3.2×10⁷

B = 0.00023T

B = 0.23mT

I may be wrong but does it mean it was revent? because i know shortly after someone dies your body becomes fully stiff so maybe it was recent and it's in the process off stiffening up
