Sun is the ultimate source of energy.

It provides us energy both directly and indirectly.

We get sunlight and heat from Sun which keeps our earth warm and habitable. Solar energy can be used directly to produce electricity, cook, heat water etc with different instruments.

Solar energy helps all living organisms in many ways. Plants prepare their food in presence of sunlight which helps them grow. These plants are the source of all out conventional energies like coal, petrolium etc. which are formed when plants gets buried inside earth for millions of years. Thus, sun gives us energy indirectly too.

Which of the following is not true about the Global Positioning Systems (GPS)?

Mrrafil [7]

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Global Positioning Systems (GPS) is a system which uses a network of satellites to construct maps. So, that it would be easy to trace location of a person, or to reach over a certain place.

It helps an individual by showing the route of destination wherever he/she wants to reach along with the total time to reach over the place.

Thus, GPS can determine the elevation of a given area and also it can determine latitude and longitude of a given area. As each GPS satellite broadcasts with a high power, narrow bandwidth, down link signal which can be received by our small hand held receiver antenna called mobile phone.

A GPS cannot determine the composition of soil on mountain ranges.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, GPS can determine the composition of soil on mountain ranges is not true about the Global Positioning Systems (GPS).

Consider the following neutral electron configurations in which n has a constant value. Which configuration would belong to the

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

he configuration with the highest electronic affinity is 2s2 2p5

Explanation:

Electronic affinity is the variation of energy when we add an electron to a neutral atom to form an ion

When an electron is added, it must occupy a space is the sub-level of the atom, giving more stability when it approaches the configuration of a complete shell with eight electrons (noble gas), so the affinity must increase when moving in a period Group VIII noble gases)

Let's examine the given settings

In this case, when adding an electron, 2s2 is very far from a complete level configuration, so its affinity must be small.

2s2 2p2 when adding an electro the one has a little more affinity, but is still a long way from a full shell, it would be missing 3 electrons

2s2 2sp5 this is the atom with the highest electronic affinity, since i = that when adding an electron the ion has the configuration of a noble gas. This is the most stable on the list

2s2 2p6 already has a full shell making it very difficult to insert an electron into this atom.

In summary, the configuration with the highest electronic affinity is 2s2 2p5

Newton's first law of motion states that an object will keep a constant speed and direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced f

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

The unbalanced force that caused the ball to stop was friction

Explanation:

As Newton's second law states, the acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force applied on the object:

$F=ma$

therefore, in order to move at constant speed, an object should have a net force of zero (balanced forces) acting on it.

In this case, the ball slows down and eventually comes to a stop: it means that the ball is decelerating, so there are unbalanced forces (net force different from zero) acting on it. The unbalanced force acting on the ball is the friction: friction is a force against the motion of the object, which is due to the contact between the surface of the ball and the surface of the street, and this force is responsible for slowing down the ball.
