Positive feedback interactions in earth’s systems are always a result of human action. T/F
VLD [36.1K]

Positive feedback interactions in earth’s systems are always a result of human action is a FALSE statement.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Earth is a unstable equilibrium which tends to move out of equilibrium, but several other factors try to bring it back in equilibrium again. Earth has a different actions going on both on its surface and also inside it.

Human can alter, or can modify a very small part of the events that occur on earth’s surface. But they don’t have any control on what’s going inside earth’s core. So positive feedback interactions are not only the results of human interaction, but also different other factors.

A bird sits on a high-voltage power line with its feet 3.87 cm apart. The wire is made from aluminum, is 2.11 cm in diameter, an
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

ΔV=0.484mV

Explanation:

The potential difference across the end of conductor that obeys Ohms law:

ΔV=IR

Where I is current

R is resistance

The resistance of a cylindrical conductor is related to its resistivity p,Length L and cross section area A

R=(pL)/A

Given data

Length L=3.87 cm =0.0387m

Diameter d=2.11 cm =0.0211 m

Current I=165 A

Resistivity of aluminum p=2.65×10⁻⁸ ohms

So

ΔV=IR

=I(\frac{pL}{A})\\ =I(\frac{pL}{\pi r^{2} } )\\=I(\frac{pL}{\pi (d/2)^{2} } )\\=165A((\frac{(2.65*10^{-8})(0.0387m)}{\pi (0.0211m/2)^{2} } ))\\=4.84*10^{-4}V

ΔV=0.484mV

X rays of wavelength 0.0169 nm are directed in the positive direction of an x axis onto a target containing loosely bound electr
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

a) 4.04*10^-12m

b) 0.0209nm

c) 0.253MeV

Explanation:

The formula for Compton's scattering is given by:

\Delta \lambda=\lambda_f-\lambda_i=\frac{h}{m_oc}(1-cos\theta)

where h is the Planck's constant, m is the mass of the electron and c is the speed of light.

a) by replacing in the formula you obtain the Compton shift:

\Delta \lambda=\frac{6.62*10^{-34}Js}{(9.1*10^{-31}kg)(3*10^8m/s)}(1-cos132\°)=4.04*10^{-12}m

b) The change in photon energy is given by:

\Delta E=E_f-E_i=h\frac{c}{\lambda_f}-h\frac{c}{\lambda_i}=hc(\frac{1}{\lambda_f}-\frac{1}{\lambda_i})\\\\\lambda_f=4.04*10^{-12}m +\lambda_i=4.04*10^{-12}m+(0.0169*10^{-9}m)=2.09*10^{-11}m=0.0209nm

c) The electron Compton wavelength is 2.43 × 10-12 m. Hence you can use the Broglie's relation to compute the momentum of the electron and then the kinetic energy.

P=\frac{h}{\lambda_e}=\frac{6.62*10^{-34}Js}{2.43*10^{-12}m}=2.72*10^{-22}kgm\\

E_e=\frac{p^2}{2m_e}=\frac{(2.72*10^{-22}kgm)^2}{2(9.1*10^{-31}kg)}=4.06*10^{-14}J\\\\1J=6.242*10^{18}eV\\\\E_e=4.06*10^{-14}(6.242*10^{18}eV)=0.253MeV

I NEED HELP ASAP!!!!!
Ratling [72]

Answer:

D) momentum of cannon + momentum of projectile= 0

Explanation:

The law of conservation of momentum states that the total momentum of an isolated system is constant.

In this case, the system cannon+projectile can be considered as isolated, because no external forces act on it (in fact, the surface is frictionless, so there is no friction acting on the cannon). Therefore, the total momentum of the two objects (cannon+projectile) must be equal before and after the firing:

p_i = p_f

But the initial momentum is zero, because at the beginning both the cannon and the projectile are at rest:

p_i = 0

So the final momentum, which is sum of the momentum of the cannon and of the projectile, must also be zero:

p_f = p_{cannon}+p_{projectile} =0
