Answer:

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Explanation:

Let's say I threw a ball on the wall. The image shows the instance the ball comes into contact with the wall.

If you would look at the image above,

- F1 and F2 are acting in opposite directions.

- They both have the same magnitude too.

F1 is the force of the ball on the wall (action force) and F2 is the force of the wall on the ball (reaction force). This is called an action-reaction pair.

Answer:

Polarization occurs when an electric field distorts the negative cloud of electrons around positive atomic nuclei in a direction opposite the field. Polarization P in its quantitative meaning is the amount of dipole moment p per unit volume V of a polarized material, P = p/V.

A ball is dropped from rest at height of 20m. If it loses 25% of its kinetic energy when it strikes the ground. What is the heig
victus00 [196]

Answer:

15 meters

Explanation:

The inicial energy of the ball is just potencial energy, and its value is:

E = m * g * h = m * g * 20,

where m is the ball mass, and g is the value of gravity.

In the moment that the ball strickes the ground, all potencial energy transformed into kinetic energy, and 25% of this energy is lost, so the total energy at this moment will be:

E' = 0.75 * E = 0.75 * m * g * 20 = 15*m*g

This kinetic energy will make the ball goes up again, and at the maximum height, all kinetic energy is transformed back into potencial energy.

So, as the mass and the gravity are constants, we can calculate the height the ball will reach:

E' = m*g*h = 15*m*g -> h = 15 meters

A box weighing 12,000 N is parked on a 36° slope. What will be the component of the weight parallel to the plane that balances f
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Given :

A box weighing 12,000 N is parked on a 36° slope.

To Find :

What will be the component of the weight parallel to the plane that balances friction.

Solution :

The component of that will be parallel to the plane to balance friction is :

F \ cos ( 90 - 36)^o\\\\F\ ( sin\ 36^o)

Therefore, component of force to balance friction is F sin 36° .

Hence, this is the required solution.

Which statement is true about crystal lattice energy?
irinina [24]

The answer is:

It is a measure of the strength of the bonds between ions.

Lattice energy is an estimate of the strength of the bonds formed by ionic compounds.

The first two choices are wrong because it is actually the opposite.

  • As the ion size increases, lattice energy <u>decreases</u>.
  • As charge of ions increases, lattice energy <u>increases</u>

As for the other third option, it is wrong because lattice energy is the energy RELEASED not absorbed.
