Why do you think the earth has fewer craters than the moon

1 answer:

4 0

The earth has an atmosphere that disintegrates most meteorites that make craters, unlike the moon, which has no atmosphere and nothing to protect it from meteorites

two electrons are an angstrom (1x10^-10m) apart. What electrostatic force do they exert on one another?

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

2.30 × 10⁻⁸ N if the two electrons are in a vacuum.

Explanation:

The Coulomb's Law gives the size of the electrostatic force $F$ between two charged objects:

$\displaystyle F = -\frac{k\cdot q_1 \cdot q_2}{r^{2}}$ ,

where

$k$ is coulomb's constant. $k = 8.99\times 10^{8}\;\text{N}\cdot\text{m}^{2}\cdot\text{C}^{-2}$ in vacuum.
$q_1$ and $q_2$ are the signed charge of the objects.
$r$ is the distance between the two objects.

For the two electrons:

$q_1 = q_2 = 1.60\times 10^{-19}\;\text{C}$ .
$r = 1\times 10^{-10}\;\text{m}$ .

$\displaystyle F = -\frac{k\cdot q_1 \cdot q_2}{r^{2}} = -\frac{8.99\times 10^{8}\times (1.60\times 10^{-19})^{2}}{(1\times 10^{-10})^{2}} = 2.30\times 10^{-8}\;\text{N}$ .

The sign of $F$ is negative. In other words, the two electrons repel each other since the signs of their charges are the same.

Why does the spectroscopic parallax method only work for main sequence stars?.

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Only main sequence stars have a well-defined relationship between spectral type and luminosity.

Explanation:

Low-mass stars have much longer lifetimes than high-mass stars.

A train accelerates to a velocity of 500 m/s over time of 2s. The acceleration it experienced was 50m/s2. What was its initial v

ValentinkaMS [17]

Explanation:

We know ,

v = u + at
u = v - at
u = 500 - 2*50
u = 400 m/s

A high jumper jumps over a bar that is 2 m above the mat. With what velocity does the jumper strike the mat in the landing area?

docker41 [41]

Answer:

The velocity with which the jumper strike the mat in the landing area is 6.26 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that,

A high jumper jumps over a bar that is 2 m above the mat, h = 2 m

We need to find the velocity with which the jumper strike the mat in the landing area. It is a case of conservation of energy. let v is the velocity. it is given by :

$v=\sqrt{2gh}$

g is acceleration due to gravity

$v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\ m/s^2\times 2\ m}$

v = 6.26 m/s

So, the velocity with which the jumper strike the mat in the landing area is 6.26 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
