<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

<em>D. a car starting to move after the light changes from red to green</em>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

<u><em>Static friction</em></u> is a type of friction or a force that is experienced by a body or a substance at rest. Therefore, when a force is applied on a body or an object at rest it opposes the static friction.
<em><u>Static friction </u></em>does not have the ability to move an object or induce motion since it is countered by other strong opposite forces. Static friction must be overcome to cause motion of the object.
When a <em><u>body or an object is in motion it experiences kinetic friction</u></em>. Therefore, when a body at rest starts to move then the friction changes to kinetic friction.

At the surface of Jupiter's moon Io, the acceleration due to gravity is 1.81 m/s2 . A watermelon has a weight of 40.0 N at the s

Mumz [18]

Answer

acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter's moon,g' = 1.81 m/s²

weight of water melon on earth, W = 40 N

acceleration due to gravity on earth, g = 9.8 m/s²

a) Mass on the earth surface

$M = \dfrac{W}{g}$

$M = \dfrac{40}{9.8}$

M = 4.08 Kg

b) Mass on the surface of Lo

Mass of an object remain same.

Hence, mass of object at the surface of Lo = 4.08 Kg.

c) Weight at the surface of Lo

W' = m g'

W' =4.08 x 1.81

W' = 7.38 N

The electric potential difference across the membrane of a body cell is 0.070 V (higher on the outside than on the inside). The

12345 [234]

Answer:

The electric field is $8.75 \times 10^{6}~v~m^{-1}$ and the ditection is from outer to inner side of the membrane.

Explanation:

We know the electric field ( $\vec{E}$ ) is given by $\vec{E} = - \nabla V$ , 'V' being the potential.

In 1-D, it can be written as

$E=\dfrac{V}{d}$

where 'd' is the separation of space in between the potential difference is created.

Given, $V = 0.070~V~$ and the thickness of the cell membrane is $d = 8.0 \times 10^{-9}~m$ .

Therefore the created electric field through the cell membrane is

$E = \dfrac{0.07~V}{8 \times 10^{-9}~m} = 8.75 \times 10^{6}~m~s^{-1}$

How do you tell a stars life expectancy based on an hr diagram?

e-lub [12.9K]

The X-axis of the H-R Diagram indicates the star's surface temperature in degrees Kelvin. The Y-axis, on the other hand, indicates luminosity, or brightness.

Main sequence refers to a roughly diagonal, slightly S-curved line stretching between the upper-left and lower-right corners on which main sequence stars chart. They maintain a predictable relationship between luminosity and temperature: the brighter, the hotter. The upper-right quadrant of the H-R diagram is home to newly discovered red giants while the lower-left quadrant of the H-R Diagram belongs almost exclusively to white dwarfs.
