You need to know everything is made of atoms they are always colliding and they are never still because you'd think that every thing in space is still all the time even if it's not making visibly

It starts to explain how the solar system stays "together" so to speak, and how the solar system fits into the Milky Way galaxy, and how the galaxies fit together to make a universe of galaxies.
It does this through the idea of the universal force of gravitational attraction (always attractive in N's case) saying that it depends on the masses of the objects concerned, their separation, and a universal gravity constant called G (different from g which is the acceleration of gravity about 10m/s^2)
F=Gm1m2/r^2 is the (inverse square law) force and it applies to all bodies in the universe.

An electron is in motion at 4.0 × 106 m/s horizontally when it enters a region of space between two parallel plates, as shown, s

Answer:

xmax = 9.5cm

Explanation:

In this case, the trajectory described by the electron, when it enters in the region between the parallel plates, is a semi parabolic trajectory.

In order to find the horizontal distance traveled by the electron you first calculate the vertical acceleration of the electron.

You use the Newton second law and the electric force on the electron:

$F_e=qE=ma$ (1)

q: charge of the electron = 1.6*10^-19 C

m: mass of the electron = 9.1*10-31 kg

E: magnitude of the electric field = 4.0*10^2N/C

You solve the equation (1) for a:

$a=\frac{qE}{m}=\frac{(1.6*10^{-19}C)(4.0*10^2N/C)}{9.1*10^{-31}kg}=7.03*10^{13}\frac{m}{s^2}$

Next, you use the following formula for the maximum horizontal distance reached by an object, with semi parabolic motion at a height of d:

$x_{max}=v_o\sqrt{\frac{2d}{a}}$ (2)

Here, the height d is the distance between the plates d = 2.0cm = 0.02m

vo: initial velocity of the electron = 4.0*10^6m/s

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (2):

$x_{max}=(4.0*10^6m/s)\sqrt{\frac{2(0.02m)}{7.03*10^{13}m/s^2}}\\\\x_{max}=0.095m=9.5cm$

The horizontal distance traveled by the electron is 9.5cm

If you wanted to know how big a tiger is, which measurements would you use?

valina [46]

Answer:

meter, kilogram

Explanation:

Here we want to know how big the tiger is. This means that we want to measure its size and possibly its mass.

The size is actually a measure of the length of the tiger, and length is measured in meters.

The mass of an object, instead, is a measure of the "amount of matter" in the substance, and it is measured in kilograms.

The other options are wrong because:

- The second is the unit of time

- The candela is the unit of the luminous intensity

- The mole is the unit of the amount of substance, and it is used for gases

- The ampere is the unit of the current

Which elements do hydrogen fuel cells combine to produce electricty

NARA [144]

A fuel cell combines hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity, heat, and water. Fuel cells are often compared to batteries. Both convert the energy produced by a chemical reaction into usable electric power.
