A small bug is lying resting when nine ants simultaneously ambush it and begin pulling it in different directions. They are each

applying force to the meatloaf of a different magnitude and direction. The resultant of all these forces is zero, and the bug amazingly does not rip apart under the strain. (a) Will the bug move or remain motionless? Why?

Answer: The bug will remain motionless

Explanation:

According to Newton's first Law of Motion (sometimes called Law of Inertia):

<em>An object at rest or describing a uniform straight line motion (moving at constant velocity), will remain at rest or moving unless an external force is applied to it and changes its state of rest or motion. </em>

In other words:

An object or body will keep its state of motion until an external force changes its state

This means that objects tend to remain in its state of motion, and is the definition of the inertia, as well.

In addition, according to his law, an object in rest can be in equilibrium (net force equals to zero), and a moving object can also be in equilibrium, as long as it keeps a constant velocity.

<h2>This is why the bug, which is at rest will remain at rest, although the ants are simultaneously pulling it in different directions, since the resultant of all these forces is zero.</h2>

In a compound microscope, the objective has a focal length of 1.0 cm, the eyepiece has a focal length of 2.0 cm, and the tube le
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

The  value  is   m \approx   310

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The  focal length of the objective is  f_o =  1.0 \ cm

    The  focal length of the eyepiece is  f_e  =  2.0 \  cm

    The  tube length is  L  =  25 \  cm

Generally the magnitude of the overall magnification is mathematically represented as

            m =  m_o  *  m_e

Where  m_o is the objective magnification which is mathematically represented as

        m_o  =  \frac{L}{f_o }

=>      m_o  =  \frac{25}{1 }

=>      m_o  =  25

m_e is the eyepiece magnification which is mathematically evaluated as

     m_e  =  \frac{L }{f_e }

     m_e  =  \frac{25 }{ 2}

      m_e  =  12.5 \  cm

So

    m =  25 * 12.5

     m \approx   310

4. How long will it take a car travelling with a speed of 160 km hr to cover a distance of 700 meters? Hint: km/hr should be con
Inessa [10]

Answer:

15.8 seconds

Explanation:

Create an extended calculation to convert all the unit to what you need.

160 km      1000 m       1 hour         1 min

----------- x ------------- x -------------- x ----------   =  44.4 m/s

1 hour            1 km         60 min      60 sec

So 160km/hr is equal to 44.4m/s

Now you can figure out how many seconds it will take to go 700 meters.

44.4 m          

----------   X     x sec   =  700 m

1  sec

Solve for x sec

x sec = 700m / 44.4 m/s

         =  15.8 seconds

Two ships of equal mass are 110 m apart. What is the acceleration of either ship due to the gravitational attraction of the othe
dusya [7]

Answer:

Acceleration of the ship, a=2.14\times 10^{-7}\ m/s^2

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of both ships, m=39000\ metric\ tons=39\times 10^6\ kg

Distance between two ships, d = 110 m

The gravitational force between two ships is given by :

F=G\dfrac{m^2}{d^2}

F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\ Nm^2/kg^2\times \dfrac{(39\times 10^6\ kg)^2}{(110\ m)^2}

F = 8.38 N

Let a is the acceleration. Now, using second law of motion as :

a=\dfrac{F}{m}

a=\dfrac{8.38\ N}{39\times 10^6\ kg}

a=2.14\times 10^{-7}\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of either ship due to the gravitational attraction of the other is 2.14\times 10^{-7}\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

A velocity selector in a mass spectrometer uses a 0.150 T magnetic field. (a) What electric field strength (in volts per meter)
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

The electric field strength is 6.6\times10^{5}\ V/m

Explanation:

Given that,

Magnetic field = 0.150 T

Speed v= 4.40\times10^{6}\ m/s

We need to calculate the electric field strength

Using formula of velocity

v=\dfrac{E}{B}

E=v\times B

Where, v = speed

B = magnetic field

Put the value into the formula

E=4.40\times10^{6}\times0.150

E=660000\ V/m

E=6.6\times10^{5}\ V/m

Hence, The electric field strength is 6.6\times10^{5}\ V/m

Air pollution caused by the reaction of nitrogen compounds and other pollutants in the presence of sunlight is
ehidna [41]

Nitrogen oxides play a critical role in photochemical smog. They give the smog its yellowish-brown hue. Indoor residential appliances like gas stoves and gas or wood heaters can be significant emitters of nitrogen oxides in poorly ventilated environments.

  • Nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), ozone (O₃), peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN), and chemical compounds with the -CHO group are the main harmful elements of photochemical smog (aldehydes). If present in high enough amounts, PAN and aldehydes can harm plants and irritate the eyes.
  • The greatest sources of emissions are power plants, heavy construction equipment driven by diesel, other moveable engines, and industrial boilers. Cars, trucks, and buses are next in line.

Therefore , on conclusion i.e. two gases with molecules consisting of nitrogen and oxygen atoms are nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO₂). These nitrogen oxides play a part in the development of smog and acid rain, adding to the issue of air pollution.
