How do you think Earth’s affects what is happening on the surface ?

KIM [24]

Huge masses of rock rise from deep inside Earth, travel along its surface and then sink back down. The process is known as plate tectonics. We rarely see those changes as they happen. Yet plate tectonics affects everyone.

A baseball player throws a ball horizontally at the same moment another baseball player jobs a second ball straight down from th

attashe74 [19]

I don't know what you mean when you say he "jobs" the other ball, and the answer to this question really depends on that word.

I'm going to say that the second player is holding the second ball, and he just opens his fingers and lets the ball drop, at the same time and from the same height as the first ball.

Now I'll go ahead and answer the question that I've just invented:

Strange as it may seem, both balls hit the ground at the same time ... the one that's thrown AND the one that's dropped. The horizontal speed of the thrown ball has no effect on its vertical acceleration, so both balls experience the same vertical behavior.

And here's another example of the exact same thing:

Say you shoot a bullet straight out of a horizontal rifle barrel, AND somebody else drops another bullet at exactly the same time, from a point right next to the end of the rifle barrel. I know this is hard to believe, but both of those bullets hit the ground at the same time too, just like the baseballs ... the bullet that's shot out of the rifle and the one that's dropped from the end of the barrel.

A constant electric field with magnitude 1.50 ✕ 103 N/C is pointing in the positive x-direction. An electron is fired from x = −

romanna [79]

Answer:

The speed of electron is $1.5\times10^{7}\ m/s$

Explanation:

Given that,

Electric field $E=1.50\times10^{3}\ N/C$

Distance = -0.0200

The electron's speed has fallen by half when it reaches x = 0.190 m.

Potential energy $P.E=5.04\times10^{-17}\ J$

Change in potential energy $\Delta P.E=-9.60\times10^{-17}\ J$ as it goes x = 0.190 m to x = -0.210 m

We need to calculate the work done by the electric field

Using formula of work done

$W=-eE\Delta x$

Put the value into the formula

$W=-1.6\times10^{-19}\times1.50\times10^{3}\times(0.190-(-0.0200))$

$W=-5.04\times10^{-17}\ J$

We need to calculate the initial velocity

Using change in kinetic energy,

$\Delta K.E = \dfrac{1}{2}m(\dfrac{v}{2})^2+\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$\Delta K.E=\dfrac{-3mv^2}{8}$

Now, using work energy theorem

$\Delta K.E=W$

$\Delta K.E=\Delta U$

So, $\Delta U=W$

Put the value in the equation

$\dfrac{-3mv^2}{8}=-5.04\times10^{-17}$

$v^2=\dfrac{8\times(5.04\times10^{-17})}{3m}$

Put the value of m

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{8\times(5.04\times10^{-17})}{3\times9.1\times10^{-31}}}$

$v=1.21\times10^{7}\ m/s$

We need to calculate the change in potential energy

Using given potential energy

$\Delta U=-9.60\times10^{-17}-(-5.04\times10^{-17})$

$\Delta U=-4.56\times10^{-17}\ J$

We need to calculate the speed of electron

Using change in energy

$\Delta U=-W=-\Delta K.E$

$\Delta K.E=\Delta U$

$\dfrac{1}{2}m(v_{f}^2-v_{i}^2)=4.56\times10^{-17}$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{f}=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times4.56\times10^{-17}}{9.1\times10^{-31}}+(1.21\times10^{7})^2}$

$v_{f}=1.5\times10^{7}\ m/s$

Hence, The speed of electron is $1.5\times10^{7}\ m/s$

At which of the following angles will the sunlight received at a location on Earth spread out over the largest area?

yarga [219]

10 degrees, because 0 degrees will receive the most sunlight, and 10 degrees is closest to 0 degrees.

Weddell seals make holes in sea ice so that they can swim down to forage on the ocean floor below. Measurements for one seal sho

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

B. 1 m/s

Explanation:

Metric unit conversions:

0.3 km = 300m

5 minutes = 5*60 = 300 seconds

So if a seal can reach a depth of 300m in a time of 300 seconds, its diving speed is the distance divided by time duration

v = s/t = 300/300 = 1m/s

So B is the correct answer
