One of the scientific characteristics that can make the difference between the Earth and the moon is the so-called Rayleigh dispersion effect. This concept is identified as the dispersion of visible light or any other electromagnetic radiation by particles whose size is much smaller than the wavelength of the dispersed photons. Our atmosphere allows even our 'shadows' to be clear.

On the moon under the absence of the atmosphere or any other mechanism that allows absorbing or failing to re-irradiate sunlight towards the area in its shadows, which makes the shadows on the moon look darker.

The train passes point A with a speed of 30 m/s and begins to decrease its speed at a constant rate of at = - 0.25 m/s^2. Determ
prisoha [69]

Explanation:

At point B, the velocity speed of the train is as follows.

          \nu^{2}_{B} = \nu^{2}_{A} + 2a_{t} (s_{B} - s_{A})

                           = (30)^{2} + 2(-0.25(412 - 0))

                           = 26.34 m/s

Now, we will calculate the first derivative of the equation of train.

          y = 200 e^{\frac{x}{1000}}

      \frac{dy}{dx} = 0.2 e^{\frac{x}{1000}}

Now, second derivative of the train is calculated as follows.

         \frac{dy}{dx} = 0.2 e^{\frac{x}{1000}}      

       \frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}} = 0.2 (10^{-3}) e^{\frac{x}{1000}}    

Radius of curvature of the train is as follows.  

   \rho = \frac{[1 + (\frac{dy}{dx})^{2}]^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}}

               = \frac{[1 + 0.2e^{\frac{400}{1000}}^{2}]^{\frac{3}{2}}}{0.2(10^{-3})e^{\frac{400}{1000}}}

              = 3808.96 m

Now, we will calculate the normal component of the train as follows.

            a_{n} = \frac{\nu^{2}_{B}}{\rho}

                        = \frac{(26.34)^{2}}{3808.96}

                        = 0.1822 m/s^{2}

The magnitude of acceleration of train is calculated as follows.

            a = \sqrt{(a_{t})^{2} + (a_{n})^{2}}

               = \sqrt{(-0.25)^{2} + (0.1822)^{2}}

              = 0.309 m/s^{2}

Thus, we can conclude that magnitude of the acceleration of the train when it reaches point B, where sAB = 412 m is 0.309 m/s^{2}.

Please help!!
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Si un objeto se mueve en relación a un marco de referencia (por ejemplo, si una profesora se mueve a la derecha con respecto al pizarrón, o un pasajero se mueve hacia la parte trasera de un avión), entonces la posición del objeto cambia. A este cambio en la posición se le conoce como desplazamiento. La palabra desplazamiento implica que un objeto se movió, o se desplazó.

Explanation:

El desplazamiento se define como el cambio en la posición de un objeto. Se puede definir de manera matemática con la siguiente ecuación:

\text{desplazamiento}=\Delta x=x_f-x_0desplazamiento=Δx=x

​  

x, start subscript, f, end subscript se refiere al valor de la posición final.

x_0x

​  

x, start subscript, 0, end subscript se refiere al valor de la posición inicial.

\Delta xΔxdelta, x es el símbolo que se usa para representar el desplazamiento.

Debemos ser cuidados al usar la palabra distancia, ya que hay dos maneras de usar el término en física. Podemos hablar acerca de la distancia entre dos puntos, o podemos hablar de la distancia recorrida por un objeto.

La distancia se define como la magnitud o el tamaño del desplazamiento entre dos posiciones. Observa que la distancia entre dos posiciones no es la misma que la distancia recorrida entre ellas.

Es importante darse cuenta que la distancia recorrida no tiene que ser igual a la magnitud del desplazamiento (es decir, la distancia entre dos puntos). De manera específica, si un objeto cambia de dirección en su trayecto, la distancia total recorrida será mayor que la magnitud del desplazamiento entre esos dos puntos. Ve los ejemplos resueltos a continuación.

A 55.0-g piece of copper wire is heated, and the temperature of the wire changes from 19.0°C to 86.0°C. The amount of heat absor
Alinara [238K]
The specific heat of a metal or any element or compound can be determined using the formula Cp = delta H / delta T / mass. delta pertains to change. That is change in enthalpy and change in temperature. From the given data, Cp is equal to 343 cal per (86-19) c per 55 grams. This is equal to 0.093 cal / g deg. Celsius

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

a) b) d)

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. The Complete question might be

In an inertial frame of reference, a series of experiments is conducted. In each experiment, two or three forces are applied to an object. The magnitudes of these forces are given. No other forces are acting on the object. In which cases may the object possibly remain at rest? The forces applied are as follows: Check all that apply.

a)2 N; 2 N

b) 200 N; 200 N

c) 200 N; 201 N

d) 2 N; 2 N; 4 N

e) 2 N; 2 N; 2 N

f) 2 N; 2 N; 3 N

g) 2 N; 2 N; 5 N

h ) 200 N; 200 N; 5 N

For th object to remain at rest, sum of all forces must be equal to zero. Use minus sign to show opposing forces

a) 2+(-2)=0 here minus sign is to show the opposing firection of force

b) 200+(-200)=0

c) 200+(-201)\neq0

d) 2+2+(-4)=0

e) 2+2+(-2)\neq0

f) 2+2+(-3) \neq0; 2+(-2)+3\neq0

g) 2+2+(-5)\neq0; 2+(-2)+5\neq0

h)200 + 200 +(-5)\neq0; 200+(-200)+5\neq0
