Answer:

The sun's energy comes from thermonuclear fusion reactions.

Explanation:

Due to the Sun's strong gravitational pull, hydrogen atoms fuse, resulting in helium atoms. During this process, tremendous amounts of energy are released, or the energy of the Sun.

The valence electrons of metals are weakly attracted to the parent nuclei, so the electrons break free and float. The moving electrons form a electron negative blanket that binds the atomic positive nuclei together, forming a metallic bond.

So the answers are { Negative } and { Positive }.

What is the direction of the normal contact force of the road on the wheels?

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

The direction of the contact forces acting on a body is not necessarily perpendicular to the contact surface. The resolution of contact forces in two components i.e. perpendicular to contact surface and along surface. Perpendicular component is normal force and parallel component is friction.

HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

Stolb23 [73]

As per the given Figure attached here we know that both charges q1 and q2 will apply same force on charge q3 and hence the resultant force due to both charges will be along Y axis vertically upwards

So here we know that

$F = \frac{kq_1q_3}{d_{13}^2}$

now from the above equation

$F = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(2\times 10^{-6})(4 \times 10^{-6})}{0.5^2}$

$F = 0.288 N$

so both of the charges will apply 0.288 N force on q3 charge along the line joining them

now the net force due to vector sum is given by

$F_{net} = 2Fcos\theta$

here we know that angle is

$\theta = 37 degree$

now we have

$F_{net} = 2\times 0.288 cos37$

$F_{net} = 0.46 N$

so net force on q3 is 0.46 N vertically upwards along +Y axis

The atoms in a solid move about freely

ivolga24 [154]

No, not exactly. They jiggle and tremble and vibrate a lot, but
they always basically stay in very nearly the same place.

It's like if you're allowed to go anywhere you want in your jail cell,
you wouldn't exactly call that "moving about freely".

Why are we not crushed by the weight of the atmosphere on our shoulders?

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Due to equal pressure in all the direction at a particular level in a fluid medium (Pascal's Law)

Explanation:

We are not crushed by the weight of the atmosphere because atmosphere is a fluid and we are immersed into it. So, according to the Pascal's law the the pressure a each point in a horizontal level is equal in all the direction irrespective of the orientation of a body.

Variation of pressure in term of the height of a fluid medium is given as:

$P=\rho.g.h$

$\rho=$ density of fluid

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height of the free surface of the fluid from the immersed object.

And atmosphere has very less variation of pressure with change in height as it is a rare medium fluid and so for a human height there is very negligible variation of pressure at the heat of a human with respect to his toe.
