In a landfill, old biodegradable materials are breaking down while at the same time, new trash is being added daily. Which state

ment describes the relationship between a landfill and the mass of the Earth?
A.) The mass of the Earth increases and decreases depending on the amount of trash added to the landfill.

B.) The mass of the Earth decreases due to materials breaking down in the landfill.

C.) The mass of the Earth increases due to trash being added to the landfill.

D.) The mass of the Earth remains the same regardless of the amount of trash in the landfill.

Answer:

Ok, first, what is trash?

Trash can be different things, like organic stuff (remains of fruit or wood) or not-organic (like plastic)

Naturally, those things come from Earth, meaning that that:

The fruit is on Earth.

Someone eats the fruit

the rest is trowed in the trash

the trash is returned to some location on the Earth.

So the mass of the fruit is always in the Earth, this means that the mass of the Earth does not change by this process.

Now in the process of materials breaking down, those materials are being "absorbed" by the land, so the mass remains on the planet, this process also does not change the mass of the Earth.

D.) The mass of the Earth remains the same regardless of the amount of trash in the landfill.

A cyclotron is designed to accelerate protons (mass 1.67 x 10^-27 kg) up to a kinetic energy of 2.5 x 10^-13 J. If the magnetic
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

24 cm

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of proton = 1.67 × 10⁻²⁷ Kg

kinetic energy = 2.5 × 10⁻¹³ J

magnetic field in the cyclotron, B = 0.75 T

Now,

Kinetic energy = \frac{1}{2}mv^2  = 2.5 × 10⁻¹³ J

where, v is the velocity of the electron

or

\frac{1}{2}\times1.67\times10^{-27}\times v^2  = 2.5 × 10⁻¹³ J

or

v² = 2.99 × 10¹⁴

or

v = 1.73 × 10⁷ m/s

also,

centripetal force = magnetic force

or

\frac{mv^2}{r}  = qvB

q is the charge of the electron

r is the radius of the dipole magnets

on substituting the respective values, we get

\frac{1.67\times10^{-27}\times1.73\times10^7}{r}  = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ × 0.75

or

r = 0.2408 m ≈ 24 cm

Hence, the correct answer is 24 cm

At an instant when a soccer ball is in contact with the foot of the player kicking it, the horizontal or x component of the ball
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

390 N

Explanation:

The net acceleration is:

a² = aₓ² + aᵧ²

a² = (900 m/s²)² + (870 m/s²)²

a = 1250 m/s²

So the net force is:

F = ma

F = (0.31 kg) (1250 m/s²)

F = 390 N

How can "Ali" distinguish the interference patterns produced by diffraction gratings from the interference patterns produced by
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

The interference pattern from a diffraction grating will have a wide, central bright band with alternate dark and bright bands on both sides, and the interference pattern will have an equally spaced dark and bright band.

Explanation:

In diffraction pattern we know that the distance between two consecutive minimum position is maximum

So here position of minimum is given as

asin\theta = N\lambda

now we have central maximum is of maximum width while all other have width of decreasing order.

While when we use Young's double slit pattern then we can say that position of all maximum and minimum intensity on the screen will be at same distance.

so here we have

y = \frac{N\lambda L}{d}

so all the maximum and minimum intensity will have equal width.
