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

Physics
1 answer:
igomit [66]3 years ago
5 0

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 electron is released form rest in a region of space where a uniform electric field is present. Joanna claims that its kinetic
djyliett [7]

Answer:

Neither.

Explanation:

When an electron is released from rest, in an uniform electric field, it will accelerate moving in a direction opposite to the field (as the field has the direction that it would take a positive test charge, and the electron carries a negative charge).

It will move towards a point  with a higher potential, so its kinetic energy will increase, while its potential energy will decrease:

⇒ ΔK + ΔU = 0 ⇒ ΔK = -ΔU = - (-e*ΔV)

As ΔV>0, we conclude that the electric potential energy decreases while the kinetic energy increases in the same proportion, in order to energy be conserved, in absence of non-conservative forces.

Consider eight,eight-cubic centimeter (8 cm3) sugar cubes stacked so that they form a single 2 x 2 x 2 cube. How does the surfac
In-s [12.5K]
To find the surface area of a single cube we first nees to take the cube root of 8cm3 which is 2.

Now we know that the length of each side is 2 and we can find the area of one side by doing 2x2 which is 4.

To find the total surface area of one cube we do 4 times 6 side giving us a total of 24cm2.

To find the total surface area of the 8 individual cubes, we multiply 24cm2 by 8 to give us a total of 192cm2.

Now to find the total surface area of the one large cube, we know that each side of one of the small cubes is 4cm2 and the large cube is set up so that there are two levels of four cubes right on top of each other. So, the total area of each side of the large cube is 4cm2 times 4 which gives us 16cm2.

Then we multiply 16cm2 by 6 sides to give us a total surface area of 96cm2.

The ratio of the surface area of the single large cube comapred to the total surface area of the single cubes is 96:192

We can further simplify this ratio:

96:192

48:96

A doppler effect occurs when a source of sound moves. True or False
Shtirlitz [24]
<h2>Answer: True </h2>

The <u>Doppler effect</u> refers to the change in a wave perceived frequency when the emitter of the waves, and the receiver (or observer in the case of light) move relative to each other.

In other words, it is the variation of the frequency of a wave due to the relative movement of the source of the wave with respect to its receiver.

It should be noted that this effect  bears its name in honor of the Austrian physicist <u>Christian Andreas Doppler</u>, who in 1842 proposed the existence of this effect for the case of light in the stars. Another important aspect is that the effect occurs in all waves (including light and sound). However, it is more noticeable to humans with sound waves.
