The overall charge on the balloon and the cloth in the diagram A is zero as they both have the same number of electrons and protons.

Explanation:

The amount of charge on a body is defined as the number of unit charge particles present on the body. The positive charge on a body is shown by the presence of excess of protons whereas the negative charge on a body indicates the presence of excess of electrons on a body.

The number of electrons and protons in a body determines the net charge present on the body. If the number of electron and protons in a body is same, it means that the amount of negative charge is equal to the amount of positive charge on the body.

Such bodies in which the amount of both charge is equal, they are termed as the neutral bodies as the charge cancels out each other.

The number of protons and electron in the balloon and the cloth in the diagram A is same and therefore, the net charge on both the objects will be zero as the positive charge will cancel out the negative charge.

Thus, The overall charge on the balloon and the cloth in the diagram A is zero as they both have the same number of electrons and protons.

A cyclist makes the following trip along two vectors; he travels 9km to the north and then travels 6km to the east

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Final distance from the origin: 10.82 km. the vector points as shown in the attached image.

Angle with respect to the east: $56.31^o$

Explanation:

Please refer to the attached image. The cyclist's trip is indicated with the green arrows (9 km to the north followed by 6 km to the east.

So his final position is at the tip of this last vector, and indicated by the orange vector drawn form the point where the trip starts to the cyclist's final location.

We observe that this orange vector is in fact the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle, and we can estimate the distance from the origin by the Pythagorean theorem:

$d=\sqrt{9^2+6^2} \\d=\sqrt{81+36} \\d=\sqrt{117} \\d=10.82 \,\,km$

Notice that this is NOT the actual number of km that the cyclist pedaled to reach the final point.

Now, to find the value of the angle $\theta$ , we need to use trigonometry, and in particular the tangent function gives us the ratio between the side of the triangle "opposite" to the angle, divided the side "adjacent" to the angle:

$tan(\theta)=\frac{opp}{adj} \\tan(\theta)=\frac{9}{6}\\tan(\theta)=\frac{3}{2}\\$

Now we can find the value of the angle by using the arctan function:

$tan(\theta)=\frac{3}{2} \\\theta=arctan(\frac{3}{2} )\\\theta= 56.31^o$

Sonar is a device that uses reflected sound waves to measure underwater depths. If a sonar signal has a frequency of 288 Hz and

mart [117]

Answer:

5.03 m

Explanation:

The wavelength of a wave is given by

$\lambda=\frac{v}{f}$

where

v is the speed of the wave

f is the frequency of the wave

For the sonar signal in this problem,

$f=288 Hz$

$v=1.45\cdot 10^3 m/s$

Substituting into the equation, we find the wavelength:

$\lambda=\frac{1.45\cdot 10^3 m/s}{288 Hz}=5.03 m$

If a Mack truck and Honda Civic have a head-on collision, upon which vehicle is the impact force greater?

goblinko [34]

Answer:

Honda Civic

Explanation:

As per the structural design and purpose of use for vehicle, Both are different from one another in various terms such as size, strength and design.

Mack trucks are very huge trucks especially designed for loading heavy objects. They are even used to carry heavy consignments such as cars.

Whereas Honda civic has a sleek structural design and have a very fragile body as it is sedan car, so if there will be a head-on collision between these two vehicles, certainly there will be a huge impact force on civic and it will even smash into pieces if any of the vehicle have high speed.

The center of gravity method is used to ________ travel time

icang [17]

Answer:

minimizes

Explanation:

The center of gravity method consists of an algorithm for the location of an installation considering existing ones. This is a very simple technique and is usually used to determine the location of intermediate warehouses and distribution points taking into account the distances that separate them and the contribution (in terms of utility, production or capacity) of each installation.

This location method takes into account three transport factors:

Ci: Transportation cost per unit

Vi: Volume transported from unit i

di: Distance traveled in the transport of the unit i

The primary objective of this method is to find the best location of a given installation of a company with respect to the other elements that make it up, to guarantee the minimum possible time and the minimum Total Transportation Cost.
