Answer:the potential for a species population to increase

Explanation:Evolution occurs when heritable differences become more common or rare in a population, either non-randomly through natural selection or randomly through genetic drift.

How does a generator work?

insens350 [35]

An electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy obtained from an external source into electrical energy as the output.

It is important to understand that a generator does not actually ‘create’ electrical energy. Instead, it uses the mechanical energy supplied to it to force the movement of electric charges present in the wire of its windings through an external electric circuit. This flow of electric charges constitutes the output electric current supplied by the generator. This mechanism can be understood by considering the generator to be analogous to a water pump, which causes the flow of water but does not actually ‘create’ the water flowing through it.

The modern-day generator works on the principle of electromagnetic induction discovered by Michael Faraday in 1831-32. Faraday discovered that the above flow of electric charges could be induced by moving an electrical conductor, such as a wire that contains electric charges, in a magnetic field. This movement creates a voltage difference between the two ends of the wire or electrical conductor, which in turn causes the electric charges to flow, thus generating electric current.

A proton that has a mass m and is moving at 270 m/s in the i hat direction undergoes a head-on elastic collision with a stationa

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

$V_p = 267.258 m/s$

$V_n = 38.375 m/s$

Explanation:

using the law of the conservation of the linear momentum:

$P_i = P_f$

where $P_i$ is the inicial momemtum and $P_f$ is the final momentum

the linear momentum is calculated by the next equation

P = MV

where M is the mass and V is the velocity.

so:

$P_i = m(270 m/s)$

$P_f = mV_P + M_nV_n$

where m is the mass of the proton and $V_p$ is the velocity of the proton after the collision, $M_n$ is the mass of the nucleus and $V_n$ is the velocity of the nucleus after the collision.

therefore, we can formulate the following equation:

m(270 m/s) = m $V_p$ + 14m $V_n$

then, m is cancelated and we have:

270 = $V_p$ + $14V_n$

This is a elastic collision, so the kinetic energy K is conservated. Then:

$K_i = \frac{1}{2}MV^2 = \frac{1}{2}m(270)^2$

and

Kf = $\frac{1}{2}mV_p^2 +\frac{1}{2}(14m)V_n^2$

then,

$\frac{1}{2}m(270)^2$ = $\frac{1}{2}mV_p^2 +\frac{1}{2}(14m)V_n^2$

here we can cancel the m and get:

$\frac{1}{2}(270)^2$ = $\frac{1}{2}V_p^2 +\frac{1}{2}(14)V_n^2$

now, we have two equations and two incognites:

270 = $V_p$ + $14V_n$ (eq. 1)

$\frac{1}{2}(270)^2$ = $\frac{1}{2}V_p^2 +\frac{1}{2}(14)V_n^2$

in the second equation, we have:

36450 = $\frac{1}{2}V_p^2 +\frac{1}{2}(14)V_n^2$ (eq. 2)

from this last equation we solve for $V_n$ as:

$V_n = \sqrt{\frac{36450-\frac{1}{2}V_p^2 }{\frac{1}{2} } }$

and replace in the other equation as:

270 = $V_p +$ 14 $\sqrt{\frac{36450-\frac{1}{2}V_p^2 }{\frac{1}{2} } }$

so,

$V_p = -267.258 m/s$

Vp is negative because the proton go in the -i hat direction.

Finally, replacing this value on eq. 1 we get:

$V_n = \frac{270+267.258}{14}$

$V_n = 38.375 m/s$

24. What determines an element's chemical properties?<br> A

Maurinko [17]

Explanation:

The chemical properties of an element are determined by the configuration of its electrons in orbit around its nucleus. ... See a Periodic Table of the Elements. The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom is its Atomic Number.

Hooke’s law states that the distance that a spring is stretched by hanging object varies directly as the mass of the object. If

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

$d_{2}$ = 33.33 cm

Explanation:

Given:

When mass, $m_{1}$ =21 kg

distance travelled is $d_{1}$ = 140 cm

When mass, $m_{2}$ =5 kg

distance travelled is $d_{2}$ = ?

Hooke's law state that within elastic limit, when an external force is applied to a body, the body gets deformed and when the force is released the gets back to its original form.

Therefore according to the question,

$\frac{d_{1}}{m_{1}}=\frac{d_{2}}{m_{2}}$

$\frac{140}{21}=\frac{d_{2}}{5}$

$d_{2}$ = 33.33 cm

Distance travelled is 33.33 cm when mass is 5 kg.
