John used smothering as the method to control the harmful invasive plants in his orchard. Smothering is an example of a manual method of control and it works best in a small population of invasive species. Smothering involves covering the invasive species with a barrier that is highly impenetrable for one growing season in order to prevent these species from thriving in the environment.
Answer:
Transverse waves are always characterized by particle motion being perpendicular to wave motion. A longitudinal wave is a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction parallel to the direction that the wave moves.
Explanation:
The movement of the medium is different. In the longitudinal wave, the medium moves left to right, while in thee transverse wave, the medium moves vertically up and down. Longitudinal waves have a compression and rarefaction, while the transverse wave has a crest and a trough. Longitudinal waves have a pressure variation, transverse waves don't have pressure variation. Longitudinal waves can be propagated in solids, liquids and gases, transverse waves can only be propagated in solids and on the surfaces of liquids. Longitudinal waves have a change in density throughout the medium, transverse waves don't.
A child climbing a ladder is transforming kinetic energy into potential energy.
Answer:
Explanation:
The bike's acceleration can be found by using the following suvat equation:
where
v is the final velocity of the bike
u is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
s is the distance covered
For the bike in the problem,
u = 0
v = 7 m/s
d = 40 m
Solving the equation for a, we find the acceleration:
Answer:
electrons
Explanation:
The magnitude of the electric field outside an electrically charged sphere is given by the equation
where
k is the Coulomb's constant
Q is the charge stored on the sphere
r is the distance (from the centre of the sphere) at which the field is calculated
In this problem, the cloud is assumed to be a charged sphere, so we have:
is the maximum electric field strength tolerated by the air before breakdown occurs
is the radius of the sphere
Re-arranging the equation for Q, we find the maximum charge that can be stored on the cloud:
Assuming that the cloud is negatively charged, then
And since the charge of one electron is
The number of excess electrons on the cloud is
