Answer:

The third choice: $2.81*10^{16} \: \text{protons}$

Explanation:

The cork is positively charged, therefore we know tat there must be excess of positively charged protons present.

The charge $p^+$ of a proton is

$p^+ = +1.6*10^{-19}C$ ;

therefore, the number $n$ that makes up a charge of $+4.5mC$ is

$n = \dfrac{+4.5mC}{+1.6*10^{-19}C} = \dfrac{+4.5*10^{-3}C}{+1.6*10^{-19}C}$

$\boxed{n =2.81*10^{16} \: \text{protons}}$

which is the 3rd choice.

Vanyuwa [196]

The centripetal acceleration is the ratio of the tangential speed and the

radius of the shell.

The tangential speed of the part of the shell is approximately 0.12961 m/s

Reasons;

The widest diameter of the egg, d = 12 cm = 0.12 m

The given centripetal acceleration, $a_c$ = 0.28 m/s²

Required:

The tangential speed of the bird.

Solution;

$\displaystyle Centripetal \ acceleration, \ a_c = \mathbf{\frac{v^2}{r}}$

Where;

$\displaystyle r = The \ radius \ of \ the \ egg \ shell = \frac{d}{2}$

v = The tangential speed

Which gives;

$\displaystyle r = \frac{0.12}{2} = 0.06$

$\displaystyle 0.28 \, m/s^2 = \frac{v^2}{0.06 \, m}$

v² = 0.28 m/s² × 0.06 m = 0.0168 m²/s²

v = √(0.0168 m²/s²) ≈ 0.12961 m/s

The tangential speed, v = 0.12961 m/s

If a window is double glazed rather than single glazed there is less condensation on the inside of the glass. Explain why.

sashaice [31]

Because it tends to be hotter inside therefore when the cold air hits the inside of the glass, the cold glass makes it condense however outside its cold therefore it does condense on the outside of the window

What does a motion diagram represent?

Stels [109]

Answer:

A motion diagram represents the motion of an object by displaying its location at various equally spaced times on the same diagram. Motion diagrams are a pictorial description of an object's motion. They show an object's position and velocity initially, and present several spots in the center of the diagram.

Alecsey [184]

When the sun, moon, and Earth are lined up (during a new or full moon), the solar tide adds to the lunar tide to produce extremely high tides and very low tides, both of which are known as spring tides.

Basically describes a situation in astronomy where three celestial bodies align in a straight line as part of a gravitational system. The phrase is frequently used to describe how the Sun, Moon, and Earth are in a straight line.

The moon is responsible for causing high and low tides. The tidal force is produced by the moon's gravitational pull. Earth and its water protrude outward on both the side that is closest to and farthest from the moon as a result of the tidal force. These watery peaks are high tide
