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

A particle moving on a circle has a velocity of 5 m/s and a normal acceleration of 10 m/s^2. What is the radius of the circle?

dybincka [34]

Answer:

Radius of the circle will be 2.5 m

Explanation:

We have given velocity of particle moving in the circle v = 5 m/sec

Acceleration of particle in the circle $a=10m/sec^2$

We have to find the radius of the circle

We know that acceleration is given by $a=\frac{v^2}{r}$

So $10=\frac{5^2}{r}$

$r=\frac{25}{10}=2.5m$

So radius of the circle will be 2.5 m

The membrane of a living cell can be approximated by a parallel-plate capacitor with plates of area 4.50×10−9 m2 , a plate separ

Marizza181 [45]

The energy stored in the membrane is $6.44\cdot 10^{-14} J$

Explanation:

The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor is given by

$C=\frac{k\epsilon_0 A}{d}$

where

k is the dielectric constant of the material

$\epsilon_0$ is the vacuum permittivity

A is the area of the plates

d is the separation between the plates

For the membrane in this problem, we have

k = 4.6

$A=4.50\cdot 10^{-9} m^2$

$d=8.1\cdot 10^{-9} m$

Substituting, we find its capacitance:

$C=\frac{(4.6)(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})(4.50\cdot 10^{-9})}{8.1\cdot 10^{-9}}=2.26\cdot 10^{-11} F$

Now we can find the energy stored: for a capacitor, it is given by

$U=\frac{1}{2}CV^2$

where

$C=2.26\cdot 10^{-11} F$ is the capacitance

$V=7.55\cdot 10^{-2} V$ is the potential difference

Substituting,

$U=\frac{1}{2}(2.26\cdot 10^{-11} F)(7.55\cdot 10^{-2})^2=6.44\cdot 10^{-14} J$

According to Newton’s second law of motion what is force equals to

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:force equals to rate of change of momentum

Explanation:

F=force

t=time

m=mass

v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

(mv-mu)/t=rate of change of momentum

Force=rate of change of momentum

F=(mv-mu)/t

PLEASE HELP! I don't get it at all! Speed is one thing; distance is another. Where is the arrow you shoot up at 50m/s when it ru

LuckyWell [14K]

I got you b, V(final)^2=V(initial+2acceleration*displacement
So this turns to (0m/s)^2=(50m/s)^2+2(9.8)(d) so just flip it all around to isolate d so you get
-(50m/s)^2/2(9.8) = d so you get roughly 12.7555 meters up
