Answer:

The force that keeps objects moving in a circle is called centrifugal force. FALSE.

Explanation:

The force that keeps objects moving in a circle path is called centripetal force. It foes this by pulling the object into the center of the circle

*please refer to photo* An electric field of magnitude 5.25 ✕ 10^5N/C points due south at a certain location. Find the magnitude

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Approximately $3.86\; {\rm N}$ (given that the magnitude of this charge is $-7.35\; {\rm \mu C}$ .)

Explanation:

If a charge of magnitude $q$ is placed in an electric field of magnitude $E$ , the magnitude of the electrostatic force on that charge would be $F = E\, q$ .

The magnitude of this charge is $q = 7.35\; {\rm \mu C}$ . Apply the unit conversion $1\; {\rm \mu C} = 10^{-6}\; {\rm C}$ :

$\begin{aligned} q &= 7.35\; {\mu C} \times \frac{10^{-6}\; {\rm C}}{1\; {\mu C}} = 7.35\times 10^{-6}\; {\rm C}\end{aligned}$ .

An electric field of magnitude $E = 5.25\times 10^{5}\; {\rm N \cdot C^{-1}}$ would exert on this charge a force with a magnitude of:

$\begin{aligned}F &= E\, q \\ &= 5.25 \times 10^{5}\; {\rm N \cdot C^{-1}} \times (-7.35\times 10^{-6}\; {\rm C}) \\ &\approx 3.86\; {\rm N}\end{aligned}$ .

Note that the electric charge in this question is negative. Hence, electrostatic force on this charge would be opposite in direction to the the electric field. Since the electric field points due south, the electrostatic force on this charge would point due north.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Hi!

The correct option would be A) Mendel’s genetics states laws that are now part of the theory of biological evolution.

When Darwin proposed the idea of biological evolution, which revolved around the concept that favorable genes are naturally selected into a species to ensure survival, his theory was criticized as during that time there was the idea that individual traits of two parents would present themselves as a blend in the offspring.

Gregor Mendel's theory of inheritance supported Darwin's idea as it dealt with the transmission of traits in generations through entities called genes, which were present in pairs for a particular trait.

Hope this helps!

A tortoise and hare start from rest and have a race. As the race begins, both accelerate forward. The hare accelerates uniformly

Mama L [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

To solve this, we start by using one of the equations of motion. The very first one, in fact

V = U + at.

V = 0 + 0.8 * 3.4 = 2.72 m/s.

V = 0 + 0.8 * 4.3 = 3.44 m/s.

d = ½ * 0.8 * 4.3² + 3.44 * 12.9

d = 7.396 + 44.376

d = 51.77 m.

d = 62 - 51.77 = 10.23 m. = Distance

traveled during deceleration.

a = (V² - Vo²) / 2d.

a = (0² - 3.44²) / 20.46

a = -11.8336 / 20.46 = -0.58 m/s²

t = (V - Vo)/a =(0 - 3.44) / -0.58

t = -3.44/-.58 = 5.93 s

= Stop time.

T = 4.3 + 12.9 + 5.93 = 23.13 s. = Total

time the hare was moving.

d = Vo * t + ½ * a * t² = 62 m.

0 + 0.5 * (23.13)² * a = 61

267.5a = 61

a = 61/267.5

a = 0.23 m/s²

On my science test, there is a bonus question that I want to get right. Why would it be a bad idea to skydive on the moon? Hint:

eduard

Answer:

Because there is no air resistance

Explanation:

When an object falls on Earth, there are essentially two forces acting on it:

- The force of gravity, downward, equal to the weight of the object:

$W=mg$

where m is the mass and g the acceleration due to gravity

- The air resistance, F, which acts upward, and whose magnitude is generally proportional to v, the speed of the object

When the object starts its fall, its initial speed is zero: v = 0, so the air resistance is also zero: F=0, and the object accelerates downward due to gravity.

However, as it accelerates downward, its speed increases, and so does the air resistance F. However, F is upward, opposite to the direction of motion, therefore it reduces the net acceleration of the object; at a certain point, the magnitude of the air resistance will become equal to the weight, so that

mg = F

and at that point, the net acceleration of the object will become zero: this means that the object will continue its fall at a constant velocity, called terminal velocity.

On the Moon instead, there is no air resistance: this means that for an object falling down, the speed keeps increasing due to the effect of gravity, and it will never reach a terminal value: therefore, the final velocity at the impact will be much higher than on the Earth, if we assume the two objects have been dropped from a very high altitude from the surface.
