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

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.

Answer:A skier could benefit from a sports-specific training program because it could help them become better at skiing. ... Other activities such as squats and lunges will also improve skiing skills since it builds up lower body strength which is necessary to ski tough terrain.

How could the action force of a canoe moving through water be increased?.

BaLLatris [955]

There are several actions that can be used to increase the action force of a canoe that is moving through water. One can increase the rate of striking or strike harder than before with a bigger paddle. Using a lighter canoe can also be helpful for increasing the speed. I hope the answer comes to your help.

Assume that a lightning bolt can be modeled as a long, straight line of current. If 16 C of charge passes by a point in 1.50 x 1

Reptile [31]

Answer:

$B = 7.9012*10^{-5}T$

Explanation:

To solve the problem, the concepts related to the magnetic field and the current produced in a lightning bolt are necessary.

The current is defined by the load due to time, that is to say

$I= \frac{q}{t}$

Where,

$q= Charge$

$t = time$

So the current can be expressed as:

$I = \frac{16}{1.5*10^{-3}}$

$I = 10666.67A$

Once the current is found it is now possible to find the magnetic field, as this is given by the equation,

$B =\frac{\mu_0}{2\pi}\frac{I}{r}$

Where,

$\mu_0 =$ Permeability Constant

I= Current

r= radius

Replacing the values we have

$B=\frac{4\pi*10^{-7}}{2\pi}(\frac{10666.67}{27})$

$B = 7.9012*10^{-5}T$

What conditions must be satisfied for a body to be in equilibrium

dem82 [27]

For an object to be in equilibrium, it must be experiencing no acceleration. This means that both the net force and the net torque on the object must be zero.

Could someone please explain to me Archimede's principle without using the term displace (or at least explaining what it means)?

disa [49]

Does this help?

When an object is immersed in a fluid (in this case water, but may include both liquids and gases) the fluid exerts an upward force on the object which is called buoyancy force or up-thrust. Archimedes’ Principle states that the buoyant force (upward push or force) applied to an object is equal to the weight of the fluid that the object takes the space of by that object. Thus when an object is placed in water the rise in the water level is dictated by the mass of that object.

So for example if you fill a bucket with water and you drop a stone in that bucket, if you measure the weight of the water that overflows from the bucket due to the stone being dropped into the bucket is equivalent to the pushing force that the water has on the stone (as the stone drops to the bottom of the bucket the water is pushing it to stay afloat but the rock is more dense than water and as such its downthrust exceeds water's upthrust).
