Answer:

Astronomy

Explanation:

Astronomy is the science that studies the entire Universe and its celestial bodies. As celestial bodies, we mean the planets, stars, comets, asteroids, nebulae, galaxies, and so on.

Professionals who work with astronomy are called astronomers, and are responsible for analyzing and studying everything that is related to cosmic space, such as the evolution of space and the observation of all the celestial bodies that are in it, for example.

At what position or positions on the x-axis is the electric field zero?

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

The electric field will be zero at x = ± ∞.

Explanation:

Suppose, A -2.0 nC charge and a +2.0 nC charge are located on the x-axis at x = -1.0 cm and x = +1.0 cm respectively.

We know that,

The electric field is

$E=\dfrac{kq}{r^2}$

The electric field vector due to charge one

$\vec{E_{1}}=\dfrac{kq_{1}}{r_{1}^2}(\hat{x})$

The electric field vector due to charge second

$\vec{E_{2}}=\dfrac{kq_{2}}{r_{2}^2}(-\hat{x})$

We need to calculate the electric field

Using formula of net electric field

$\vec{E}=\vec{E_{1}}+\vec{E_{2}}$

$\vec{E_{1}}+\vec{E_{2}}=0$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{kq_{1}}{r_{1}^2}(\hat{x})+\dfrac{kq_{2}}{r_{2}^2}(-\hat{x})=0$

$\dfrac{kq_{1}}{r_{1}^2}(\hat{x})=\dfrac{kq_{2}}{r_{2}^2}(\hat{x})$

$(\dfrac{r_{2}}{r_{1}})^2=\dfrac{q_{2}}{q_{1}}$

$\dfrac{r_{2}}{r_{1}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{q_{2}}{q_{1}}}$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{2.0+x}{x}=\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{2.0}{2.0}}$

$2.0+x=x$

If x = ∞, then the equation is be satisfied.

Hence, The electric field will be zero at x = ± ∞.

Assuming a roughly spherical shape and a density of 4000 kg/m3, estimate the diameter of an asteroid having the average mass of

vredina [299]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Density of asteroid, $\rho=4000\ kg/m^3$

Mass of asteroid, $m=10^{17}\ kg$

We need to find the diameter of the asteroid. The formula of density is given by:

$\rho=\dfrac{m}{V}$

V is the volume of spherical shaped asteroid, $V=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

$r^3=\dfrac{3M}{4\pi \rho}$

$r^3=\dfrac{3\times 10^{17}\ kg}{4\pi \times 4000\ kg/m^3}$

$r^3=\sqrt{5.96\times 10^{12}}$

r = 2441311.12 m

Diameter = 2 × radius

d = 4882622.24 m

$d=4.88\times 10^6\ m$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Richard is driving home to visit his parents. 150 mi of the trip are on the interstate highway where the speed limit is 65 mph .

Serggg [28]

Answer:

t = 25.5 min

Explanation:

To know how many minutes does Richard save, you first calculate the time that Richard takes with both velocities v1 = 65mph and v2 = 80mph.

$t_1=\frac{x}{v_1}=\frac{150mi}{65mph}=2.30h\\\\t_2=\frac{x}{v_2}=\frac{150mi}{80mph}=1.875h$

Next, you calculate the difference between both times t1 and t2:

$\Delta t=t_1-t_2=2.30h-1.875h=0.425h$

This is the time that Richard saves when he drives with a speed of 80mph. Finally, you convert the result to minutes:

$0.425h*\frac{60min}{1h}=25.5min=25\ min\ \ 30 s$

hence, Richard saves 25.5 min (25 min and 30 s) when he drives with a speed of 80mph
