Answer:

(A)-electron

Explanation:

Particles can be classified into:

- Leptons: particles which do not feel the strong interaction

- Hadrons: particles which interact by strong nuclear forces (they are actually not fundamental particles, since they are composed of quarks)

- Boson: the mediators of the four fundamental forces

The given options in this problem are:

(A)-electron --> LEPTON (because it does not feel the strong interaction)

(B)-proton --> HADRON (it consists of quarks)

(C)-neutron --> HADRON (it consists of quarks)

(D)-photon --> BOSON (it is the mediator of the electromagnetic force)

(E)-boson --> BOSON

So, the only lepton among the choices is (A) electron.

A dock worker loading crates on a ship finds that a 27 kg crate, initially at rest on a horizontal surface, requires a 80 N hori

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:0.302

Explanation:

Given

mass of crate m=27 kg

Force required to set crate in motion is 80 N

Once the crate is set in motion 56 N is require to move it with constant velocity

i.e. 80 N is the amount of force needed to just overcome static friction and 56 is the kinetic friction force

thus

$f_s(static\ friction)=\mu \cdot N$

where $\mu$ is the coefficient of static friction and N is Normal reaction

$N=mg$

$f_s=\mu mg$

$\mu mg=80$

$\mu =\frac{80}{27\times 9.8}$

$\mu =0.302$

What would you do to improve the precision of an experiment?

GenaCL600 [577]

Explanation:

Precision represents that how close the different measurements of the sample one take are to one another.

One can increase the precision in lab by paying attention to each and every detail.
Usage of the equipment properly and also increasing the sample size.
Ensuring that the equipment is calibrated properly. They should be clean and functioning. Using equipment which is not functioning correctly can cause results to swing wildly and also bits of the debris stuck to the equipment can influence the measurements of the mass and the volume.
Each measurement must be taken multiple times, especially if experiments in which combining of the substances in specific amounts is involved.

Describe the forces involved in Throwing a spear

Alexeev081 [22]

Explanation:

The center of gravity is near the grip and does not change during throw. "Throwing through the tip," a popular term of how to throw a javelin, means throwing through the grip or center of gravity. The center of pressure is the aerodynamic force of drag and lift on the javelin.

Science is made up of two things, what is it

rodikova [14]

Answer:

Natural science is concerned with the description, prediction, and understanding of natural phenomena based on empirical evidence from observation and experimentation. It can be divided into two main branches: life science (or biological science) and physical science.
