How did the coastal mountains form

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

In chemistry, a nonmetal is a chemical element that is mechanically weak in its most stable form, brittle if solid, and usually gains or shares electrons in chemical reactions. There is no universal agreement on which elements are nonmetals; the numbers generally range from fourteen to twenty-three, depending on the criterion or criteria of interest.

A rock falls from the top of a hill to the bottom. The total energy of the rock at the top isn’t the same as the sum of its pote

mart [117]

Answer:

A) some of the rocks energy is transformed to thermal energy

Explanation:

If we neglect air resistance during the fall of the rock, than the mechanical energy of the rock (which is sum of its potential energy and its kinetic energy) would be constant during the entire motion, so the total energy of the rock at the top would be the same as the sum of its potential energy and kinetic energy at the bottom.

However, this not occurs, due to the presence of air resistance. In fact, air resistance acts against the fall of the rock, and because of the friction between the molecules of air and the surface of the rock, the rock loses part of its energy. This energy is converted into thermal energy of the molecules of the air.

The alternative to nuclear fission reactors in a nuclear fusion reactor. Explain why it is much more difficult to get a fusion r

Sliva [168]

Answer: The major challenges are as

1) understanding of the plasma: Plasma is a soup like mixture of subatomic particles of different atoms nuclei and electrons that are shattered apart by the temperature at which plasma is formed. further research is needed to understand the behavior of plasma so that it can be put to a proper use.

2) Confinement of plasma: Once we get the plasma we need to hold it so that we can obtain heat from it to drive a steam turbine but the sheer temperature of plasma is in millions of Celsius thus currently making it impossible to confine conventionally. Scientists use a loop of electric and magnetic fields to keep it in circulatory like manner so that it can be studied.

3) finally to obtain electricity from the plasma it should be stable to produce electricity. But currently to obtain pressure, temperature so that we have a sustained supply is highly difficult in technical and economical aspects.

Inertial confinement: In order to get the nuclei of atoms close enough for fusion this type of method used compression of the nuclei into highly small volumes.This is accomplished by use of lasers which are directed towards the fuel pellets that implode and travel towards other nuclei making fusion possible. It's main advantage is that it requires lesser time to initiate fusion but the disadvantage being that a large power is used to fire the lasers and the lasers should all hit the small target.

Magnetic Confinement: In this method we use a magnetic and electric fields in a properly designed space to keep the plasma in motion. In motion the nuclei of the atoms come close enough to initiate fusion.It's advantage being less power is required to start the process as compared to inertial confinement and the disadvantage being that plasma confinement is currently not properly understood.

Based on illustrations of magnetic field lines, where could an object be placed so it would not experience a magnetic force

tiny-mole [99]

<u>Halfway</u><u> between the like poles of two magnets, because the field lines bend away and do not enter this area.</u>

How does a magnetic field diagram show where the field is strongest?

The magnetic field lines do not ever cross.
The lines include arrowheads to indicate the direction of the force exerted by a magnetic north pole.
The closer the lines are to the poles, the stronger the magnetic field (thus the magnetic field from a bar magnet is highest closest to the poles).

Where is magnetic field the strongest and weakest on a magnet?

The bar magnet's magnetic field is strongest at its core and weakest between its two poles.
The magnetic field lines are densest immediately outside the bar magnet and least dense in the core.

Which two locations on the magnet would have the greatest attractive forces?

Inside the magnet itself, the field lines run from the south pole to the north pole.
The magnetic field is strongest in areas of greatest density of magnetic field lines, or areas of the greatest magnetic flux density.

A Bullet Off mass 100 gm is fired From A Gun Off mass 5 Kg. If the backward velocity of the gun's 5 m / s, what is forward veloc

Elena L [17]

Answer:

250 m/s

Explanation:

The mass of the bullet, m₁ = 100 g = 0.1 kg

The mass of the gun, m₂ = 5 kg

The backward velocity of the gun, v₂ = -5 m/s

Given that the momentum is conserved, we have;

The total initial momentum = The total final momentum

The gun and the bullet are at rest, therefore, we have;

The initial momentum = 0

The total final momentum = m₁·v₁ + m₂·v₂

Where;

v₁ = The forward velocity of the bullet

Therefore, we get;

m₁·v₁ + m₂·v₂ = 0

0.1 kg × v₁ + 5 kg × (-5 m/s) = 0

0.1 kg × v₁ = 5 kg × 5 m/s

v₁ = (5 kg × 5 m/s)/(0.1 kg) = 250 m/s

The forward velocity of the bullet, v₁ = 250 m/s
