Is an imaginary "line" from the earth to the moon a line, a ray, or a segment? Why?

Physics

Answer;

- Line segment

Explanation;

"from earth to moon" implies endpoints at both locations and it is thus a line segment

A line extends forever in both directions, a line segment is just part of a line. It has two endpoints, and a ray starts at one point and continues on forever in one direction.

An object is given a very small amount of charge. Which of the following could
spayn [35]

5.4*10^-19 C

Explanation:

For the purposes of this question, charges essentially come in packages that are the size of an electron (or proton since they have the same magnitude of charge). The charge on an electron is -1.6*10^-19

Therefore, any object should have a charge that is a multiple of the charge of an electron - It would not make sense to have a charge equivalent to 1.5 electrons since you can't exactly split the electron in half. So the charge of any integer number of electrons can be transferred to another object.

Charge = q(electron)*n(#electrons)

Since 5.4/1.6 = 3.375, we know that it can not be the right answer because the answer is not an integer.

If you divide every other option listed by the charge of an electron, you will get an integer number.

(16*10^-19 C)/(1.6*10^-19C) = 10

(-6.4*10^-19 C)/(1.6*10^-19C) = -4

(4.8*10^-19 C)/(1.6*10^-19C) = 3

(5.4*10^-19 C)/(1.6*10^-19C) = 3.375

(3.2*10^-19C)/(1.6*10^-19C) = 2

etc.

I hope this helps!

Free runners jump long distances and land on the ground or a wall. How do they apply Newton’s second law to lessen the force of
Veseljchak [2.6K]

As we know that as per Newton's II law we have

F = \frac{dP}{dt}

here we will have

dP = change in momentum

dt = time interval in which momentum is changed

now in order to have least injury during jumping we need to have least force on the jumper

so in order to have least force we can say that the momentum must have to change in maximum time so that amount of force must be least

So we need to increase the time in which momentum of the system is changed

Explain what happens with light causing you to see colored opaque objects
algol13

answer:

an opaque object is one that doesn't let light pass through it. instead, it reflects or absorbs the light that strikes it.

explanation:

in this case, we see the material because of the transmitted light. therefore, the wavelength of the transmitted light determines the color that the object appears.

good luck :)

i hope this helps

have a nice day !!
