The forces that hold different atoms or ions together are
denis23 [38]

Answer:

Chemical bonds

Explanation:

The chemical bonds hold the different type atoms or ions together.

The type of chemical bonds :

1. Ionic bond  ;

 Ions or atoms changes the electron and form ionic bond.Those atoms gains the electron gets negative charge and those atoms donate the electron gets positive charge.

2.Covalent bond :

  In this type of bond atoms share the electrons and form covalent bonds.

3. Metallic bond :

This type of bond are present in the metals.In this atoms are used free electrons to form bonds.

Therefore answer is --

Chemical bonds

On your first trip to Planet X you happen to take along a 280 g mass, a 40-cm-long spring, a meter stick, and a stopwatch. You'r
arsen [322]

Answer:

5.31143691523 m/s²

Explanation:

m = Mass = 280 g

x = Displacement of spring = 21.7 cm

Time period

T=\dfrac{14}{11}\\\Rightarrow T=1.27\ s

Angular velocity is given by

\omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{T}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{1.27}\\\Rightarrow \omega=4.94739\ rad/s

\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}\\\Rightarrow k=\omega^2m\\\Rightarrow k=4.94739^2\times 0.28\\\Rightarrow k=6.85346698739\ N/m

From Hooke's law

mg=kx\\\Rightarrow g=\dfrac{kx}{m}\\\Rightarrow g=\dfrac{6.85346698739\times 0.217}{0.28}\\\Rightarrow g=5.31143691523\ m/s^2

The acceleration due to gravity on the planet is 5.31143691523 m/s²

Yes, I have been able to satisfy my curiosity.

The distiction between long and short term memory
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

The main difference between short term and long term memory is that the short term memory stores data temporarily while the long term memory stores data permanently. Moreover, the short term memory is volatile while the long term memory is nonvolatile. Memory is the component in a computer that stores data and information.

Does this diagram illustrate the second law of thermodynamics? Why or why not
Savatey [412]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The diagram is not showing the second law of thermodynamics. It is the demonstration of 1st law of thermodynamics.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Second law of thermodynamics describes the entropy of the system increase with time, it does not decrease with time. It is constant for ideal systems.

While in first law of thermodynamics, it is stated that the energy of a system can not be lost but it is transferred from one form to other form.

And in this picture, it is shown that the energy released from heat source to cold sink is used in doing work.

Work and heat are forms of energy.

A particle with a charge of 5 × 10–6 C and a mass of 20 g moves uniformly with a speed of 7 m/s in a circular orbit around a sta
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

r = 0.22m

Explanation:

To find the radius of the circular trajectory, you first take into account that the centripetal force of the charged particle, is equal to the electric force between the particle that is moving and the particle at the center of the orbit.

Then, you have:

F_c=F_e=ma_c      (1)

m: mass of the particle = 20g = 20*10-3 kg

ac: centripetal acceleration = ?

q: charge of the particle = 5*10^-6C

Fe: electric force between the charges

The electric force is given by:

F_e=k\frac{qq'}{r^2}             (2)

r: radius of the orbit

q': charge of the particle at the center of the orbit = -5*10^-6C

Furthermore, the centripetal acceleration is:

a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}                 (3)

v: speed of the particle = 7m/s

You replace the expressions (2) and (3) in the equation (1) and solve for r:

k\frac{qq'}{r^2}=m\frac{v^2}{r}\\\\r=\frac{kqq'}{mv^2}

Finally, you replace the values of all parameters in the previous expression:

r=\frac{(8.98*10^9Nm^2/C^2)(5*10^{-6}C)(5*10^{-6}C)}{(20*10^{-3}kg)(7m/s)^2}\\\\r=0.22m

The radius of the circular trajectory is 0.22m
