I just did this last semester... I know this is wave height!!

Answer:

d. Wave Height

Explanation:

Imagine my crude drawing of a sea wave is actually passable haha, so, the top of the wave is called the crest, and the lowest part of the wave, under the calm sea level, is the Trough, the vertical distance between those two points is the wave height.

As extra credit ;) the distance between two consecutive crests or two consecutive troughs is the wavelength, and this is exactly the same in radio waves!

A horizontal force of 300.0 N is used to push a 145-kg mass 30.0 m horizontally in 3.00 s. Calculate the power developed.
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

3 * 10³J/s

Explanation:

Given :

Force applied, F = 300 N

Distance, d = 30 m

Time, t = 3 seconds

Power, P = Workdone / time

Recall :

Workdone = Force * distance

Workdone = 300 N * 30 m = 9000 Nm

Workdone = 9 * 10³ J

Power = (9 * 10³ J) / 3s

Power = 3 * 10³J/s

I NEED HELP PLEASE, THANKS! :)
Zina [86]

Answer:

charge C = greatest net force

charge B = the smallest net force

ratio  = 9 : 1

Explanation:

we know that in Electrostatic Forces, when 2 charges are at same sign then they repel each other and if they are different signed charges then they attract each other

so as per Coulomb's formula of Electrostatic Forces

F = \frac{k\ q_1\ q_2}{r^2}     .....................1

and here k is 9 × 10^9 N.m²/c² and we consider each charge at distance d

so two charge force at A to B is

F1 = \frac{k\ q^2}{d^2}

and force between charges at A to C, at 2d distance

F1 = \frac{k\ q^2}{(2d)^2}  =  \frac{k\ q^2}{4d^2}

force between charges at A to D,  3d distance

F1 = \frac{k\ q^2}{(3d)^2}  = \frac{k\ q^2}{9d^2}  

so

Charge a It receives force to the left from b and c and to the right from d

so at a will be

F(a)  = -F1 - F2 + F3             ....................2

put here value

F(a) = -\frac{k\ Q^2}{d^2}-\frac{k\ Q^2}{4d^2}+\frac{k\ Q^2}{9d^2}

solve it

F(a) = \frac{k\ q^2}{d^2}(-1-\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{9})  

F(a) = -\frac{41}{36}\ F1   = 1.13 F1  

and

Charge b It  receives force to the right from a and d and to the left from c

F(b) = F1 - F1 + F2            ....................3

F(b)  =  \frac{k\ q^2}{d^2}-\frac{k\ q^2}{d^2}+\frac{k\ q^2}{4d^2}    

F(b)  = \frac{1}{4} \ F1    =  0.25 F1

and

Charge c It receives forces to the right from all charges.

F(c) = F2 + F 1 + F 1      ....................4

F(c) = \frac{k\ q^2}{4d^2}+\frac{k\ q^2}{d^2}+\frac{k\ q^2}{d^2}      

F(c) =  \frac{9}{4} \ F1   = 2.25 F1

and

Charge d It receives forces to the left from all charges

F(d) = - F3 - F2 -F 1      ....................5

F(d) = -\frac{k\ q^2}{9d^2}-\frac{k\ q^2}{4d^2}-\frac{k\ q^2}{d^2}  

so

F(d) = -\frac{49}{36} \ F1    = 1.36 F1

and

now we get here ratio of the greatest to the smallest net force that is

ratio = \frac{2.25}{0.25}

 ratio  = 9 : 1

The process of how rocks can tell us how old the earth is
Ludmilka [50]
The Earth is a constantly changing planet. Its crust is continually being created, modified, and destroyed. As a result, rocks that record its earliest history have not been found and probably no longer exist. Nevertheless, there is substantial evidence that the Earth and the other bodies of the Solar System are 4.5-4.6 billion years old, and that the Milky Way Galaxy and the Universe are older still. The principal evidence for the antiquity of Earth and its cosmic surroundings is:The oldest rocks on Earth, found in western Greenland, have been dated by four independent radiometric dating methods at 3.7-3.8 billion years. Rocks 3.4-3.6 billion years in age have been found in southern Africa, western Australia, and the Great Lakes region of North America. These oldest rocks are metamorphic rocks but they originated as lava flows and sedimentary rocks. The debris from which the sedimentary rocks formed must have come from even older crustal rocks. The oldest dated minerals (4.0-4.2 billion years) are tiny zircon crystals found in sedimentary rocks in western Australia.
The oldest Moon rocks are from the lunar highlands and were formed when the early lunar crust was partially or entirely molten. These rocks, of which only a few were returned by the Apollo missions, have been dated by two methods at between 4.4-4.5 billion years in age. 
The majority of the 70 well-dated meteorites have ages of 4.4-4.6 billion years. These meteorites, which are fragments of asteroids and represent some of the most primitive material in the solar system, have been dated by 5 independent radiometric dating methods. 
The "best" age for the Earth is based on the time required for the lead isotopes in four very old lead ores (galena) to have evolved from the composition of lead at the time the Solar System formed, as recorded in the Canyon Diablo iron meteorite. This "model lead age" is 4.54 billion years. 
The evidence for the antiquity of the Earth and Solar System is consistent with evidence for an even greater age for the Universe and Milky Way Galaxy. a) The age of the Universe can be estimated from the velocity and distance of galaxies as the universe expands. The estimates range from 7 to 20 billion years, depending on whether the expansion is constant or is slowing due to gravitational attraction. b) The age of the Galaxy is estimated to be 14-18 billion years from the rate of evolution of stars in globular clusters, which are thought to be the oldest stars in the Galaxy. The age of the elements in the Galaxy, based on the production ratios of osmium isotopes in supernovae and the change in that ratio over time due to radioactive decay, is 8.6-15.7 billion years. Theoretical considerations indicate that the Galaxy formed within a billion years of the beginning of the Universe. c) Combining the data from a) and b), the "best, i.e., most consistent, age of the universe is estimated to be around 14 billion years. For more current information on the age of the universe.
