What happens to the air pressure inside a balloon when the balloon is squeezed to half its volume at constant temperature?

Geology belongs to which main category of science?

sergey [27]

Geology belongs to the category of Natural Sciences. Natural sciences is the study of natural phenomena. Among the natural sciences, we have physical science, which is the study of non-living systems. Further along this branch, we have earth sciences where Geology belongs.

When a certain air-filled parallel-plate capacitor is connected across a battery, it acquires a charge of magnitude 172 μC on ea

crimeas [40]

Answer:

k = 2.279

Explanation:

Given:

Magnitude of charge on each plate, Q = 172 μC

Now,

the capacitance, C of a capacitor is given as:

C = Q/V

where,

V is the potential difference

Thus, the capacitance due to the charge of 172 μC will be

C = $\frac{(172\ \mu C)}{V}$

Now, when the when the additional charge is accumulated

the capacitance (C') will be

C' = $\frac{(172+220)\ \mu C)}{V}$

or

C' = $\frac{(392)\ \mu C)}{V}$

now the dielectric constant (k) is given as:

$k=\frac{C'}{C}$

substituting the values, we get

$k=\frac{\frac{(392\ \mu C)}{V}}{\frac{(172)\ \mu C)}{V}}$

or

k = 2.279

Four children pull on the same stuffed toy at the same time yet there is no net force on the toy. How is this possible.

Stels [109]

Answer:

Net force is Zero.

Explanation:

If all forces that are equal and opposite are exerted on an object the resulting force will be Zero.

A distant large asteroid is detected that might pose a threat to Earth. If it were to continue moving in a straight line at cons

Vlada [557]

Answer:

The minimum speed required is 5.7395km/s.

Explanation:

To escape earth, the kinetic energy of the asteroid must be greater or equal to its gravitational potential energy:

$K.E\geq P.E$

or

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 \geq G\dfrac{Mm}{R}$

where $m$ is the mass of the asteroid, $R= 24,000,000\:m$ is its distance form earth's center, $M = 5.9*10^{24}kg$ is the mass of the earth, and $G = 6.7*10^{-11}m^3/kg\: s^2$ is the gravitational constant.
