Answer: The gravitational acceleration on planet X is 5 N/kg

On Earth (with the gravitational accelartion g_E) the mass of 2kg will correspond to

$F_E = m\cdot g_E = 2.0 \mbox{kg}\cdot 9.8 \frac{N}{kg} = 19.6 N$

On planet X we are told the same measure is only 10N. Since there is a proportional relationship between g and F, we can calculate g_X:

$\frac{F_E}{g_E}=\frac{F_X}{g_X} \implies\\g_x = \frac{g_E\cdot F_X}{F_E}=\frac{9.8 N/kg \cdot 10 N }{19.6N}=5 \frac{N}{kg}$

A snowball with a mass of 85 g hits the top hat of a 1.5 m tall snowman and sticks to it. the hat and the snowball, with a combi

LenaWriter [7]

Part (a): Velocity of the snowball
By conservation of momentu;
m1v1 + m2v2 = m3v3,

Where, m1 = mass of snowball, v1, velocity of snowball, m2 = mass of the hat, v2 = velocity of the hat, m3 = mass of snowball and the hat, v3 = velocity of snowball and the hut.

v2 = 0, and therefore,
85*v1 + 0 = 220*8 => v1 = 220*8/85 = 20.71 m/s

Part (b): Horizontal range
x = v3*t
But,
y = vy -1/2gt^2, but y = -1.5 m (moving down), vy =0 (no vertical velocity), g = 9.81 m/s^2

Substituting;
-1.5 = 0 - 1/2*9.81*t^2
1.5 = 4.905*t^2
t = Sqrt (1.5/4.905) = 0.553 seconds

Then,
x = 8*0.553 = 4.424 m

What are some indicators of energy transformations?

Annette [7]

Explanation:

Contact, vision, sound, flavor, and smell are all markers of energy transformations. The most basic example would be when we notice something has begun to pass through vision. Whenever an entity accelerates or slows down, energy is constantly transformed.

aev [14]

Answer:

Capacitor and the dielectrics:

"The capacitor is a charge,q storing device as it is subjected to the potential difference between the different plates and thus results in the difference of charge decomposition between the two plates."

Formula:C= ∈°(A/d),

Unit: Farad,F.

Purpose of the Dielectrics:

In order to store or hold the optimum number of charge particles,q between the plates we have a number of insulators which are used as the medium between the two plates.While, it separates both the plates from one another.

Explanation:

Dielectric Constants in the capacitors:

In order to hold the number of charges in between the plates of the capacitor a specific medium or substrate is placed(mostly the insulators). As it covers the area between the two capacitors, while it can decrease and increase by the action of the movable plate of the capacitor.

Now, it increase the capcitative power of the capacitor by decreasing the potential difference between the two plates, along with which the electromagnetic field is also greatly reduced.As the interaction between the two plates is greatly reduced, as they are covered and well protected by the sheet or membrane of insulting medium around them.

Can someone with an IQ score of 120 be gifted? Based on psychological thought, explain why or why not and give an example. ILL M

Pani-rosa [81]

Hello!

Yes, someone with an IQ score of 120 can be gifted.

An IQ score of 120 means that the individual is moderately gifted. Although this IQ doesn't qualify for gifted education programs, research shows that people with IQs of about 145-180 don't perform significantly better than people with 120s IQ in terms of success.

As an example, professor Dean Simonton from the University of California found that an optimum leader should have an IQ in the 120-125 range, so having an IQ of 120 would mean that the individual is gifted for leadership.

Have a nice day!
