Answer:

6.37 x 10³ Km

Explanation:

given,

Radius of earth = 6,370,000 m

we know,

1 km = 1000 m

1 m = 0.001 Km

6,370,000 m =  6,370,000 x 0.001

                       = 6,370 Km

The number 6,370 has 3 significant figure.

To transform this to an exponential number, it is necessary to move the decimal to the left so there is only one digit in front of the decimal point.

Representing the given number in scientific notation

      = 6.37 x 10³ Km

Why is Earth’s North Pole a geographic north pole but a south seeking pole magnetically?
natima [27]

Answer:It is actually the South Magnetic pole

Explanation:The magnetic pole near earth's geographic north pole is actually the south magnetic pole. When it comes to magnets, opposites attract. This fact means that the north end of a magnet in a compass is attracted to the south magnetic pole, which lies close to the geographic north pole.

Why is it so good for scientists to be skeptical
IceJOKER [234]
Its good for a scientist to be skeptical because they dont willingly accept new ideas without thoroughly going over the research themselves and attempting to disprove a theory. skeptical scientists often reveal new information through doing their own examinations of a concept, which is why they are valuable scientists

Each plate of a parallel‑plate capacitor is a square of side 4.19 cm, 4.19 cm, and the plates are separated by 0.407 mm. 0.407 m
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The electric field strength inside the capacitor is 49880.77 N/C.

Explanation:

Given:

Side length of the capacitor plate (a) = 4.19 cm = 0.0419 m

Separation between the plates (d) = 0.407 mm = 0.407\times 10^{-3}\ m

Energy stored in the capacitor (U) = 7.87\ nJ=7.87\times 10^{-9}\ J

Assuming the medium to be air.

So, permittivity of space (ε) = 8.854\times 10^{-12}\ F/m

Area of the square plates is given as:

A=a^2=(0.0419\ m)^2=1.75561\times 10^{-3}\ m^2

Capacitance of the capacitor is given as:

C=\dfrac{\epsilon A}{d}\\\\C=\frac{8.854\times 10^{-12}\ F/m\times 1.75561\times 10^{-3}\ m^2 }{0.407\times 10^{-3}\ m}\\\\C=3.819\times 10^{-11}\ F

Now, we know that, the energy stored in a parallel plate capacitor is given as:

U=\frac{CE^2d^2}{2}

Rewriting in terms of 'E', we get:

E=\sqrt{\frac{2U}{Cd^2}}

Now, plug in the given values and solve for 'E'. This gives,

E=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 7.87\times 10^{-9}\ J}{3.819\times 10^{-11}\ F\times (0.407\times 10^{-3})^2\ m^2}}\\\\E=49880.77\ N/C

Therefore, the electric field strength inside the capacitor is 49880.77 N/C

1.   A car travels along a straight road to the east for 100 meters in 4 seconds, then go the west for 50 meters in 1 second.
Alla [95]

Answer:

a.Distance = 150 m

b. Displacement = 50 m

Time lapsed = 5 seconds

Explanation:

a. Distance is the change in the position of an object.

The distance covered by the car = 100 + 50

                                                   = 150 m

b. Since displacement is a vector quantity,

Displacement of the car = 100 - 50

                                        = 50 m due east

c. Time elapsed is the time taken for the motion of the car starting from when its starts to when it stops.

Thus, the time elapsed = 4 + 1

                        = 5 seconds

What molecular geometry would be expected for f2 and hf?
Kaylis [27]
The molecular geometry of both F2 and HF is linear.

There are only two atoms which are covalently bonded and thus, the bonding scheme with the atoms looks like this;

F --- F

H---F

So, both are linear.
