Answer:

d. )directed upward.

Explanation:

As the electron has a negative charge, when under the influence of an electric field, is subject to an electric force, which direction is the opposite to the direction of the electric field.

This is because the electric field has the same direction that the force on a positive test charge at the same point.

As the electric field points vertically downward, the electric force on the electron (a negative charge) points vertically upward.

So, the statement d. is the one that results to be true.

1. How do populations of invasive species continue to grow, and disrupt ecosystems?
olganol [36]
2 -An invasive species is a species that is not native to a specific location (an introduced species), and that has a tendency to spread to a degree believed to cause damage to the environment, human economy or human health.[2]

The term as most often used applies to introduced species that adversely affect the habitats and bioregions they invade economically, environmentally, or ecologically. Such species may be either plants or animals and may disrupt by dominating a region, wilderness areas, particular habitats, or wildland–urban interface land from loss of natural controls (such as predators or herbivores). This includes plant species labeled as exotic pest plants and invasive exotics growing in native plant communities.[3][4][5][6] The European Union defines "Invasive Alien Species" as those that are, firstly, outside their natural distribution area, and secondly, threaten biological diversity.[7][8] The term is also used by land managers, botanists, researchers, horticulturalists, conservationists, and the public for noxious weeds.[9]

a ball rolls off the edge of a 2m high shelf at a speed of 5 m/s and hits the ground the taken to hit the ground is
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Use the one-dimensional equation

Δx = v_0t+\frac{1}{2}at^2 where delta x is the displacement of the object, v0 is the velocity of the object, a is the pull of gravity, and t is the time in seconds. That's our unknown.

Δx = -2 (negative because where it ends up is lower than the point at which it started),

v_0=5, and

a = -9.8

Filling in:

-2=5t+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8) t^2 and simplified a bit:

-2=5t-4.9 t^2

this should look hauntingly familiar (a quadratic, which is parabolic motion...very important in physics!!). We begin by getting everything on one side of the equals sign and solving for t by factoring:

-4.9 t^2+5t+2=0 (the 0 is also indicative of the object landing on the ground! Isn't this a beautiful thing, how it all just works so perfectly together?)

When you factor this however your math/physics teacher has you factoring you will get that

t = 1.3 sec and t = -.31 sec

Since we all know that time can NEVER be negative, it takes the ball 1.3 sec to hit the ground from a height of 2 m if it is rolling off the shelf at 5 m/s.

In terms of π, what is the length of an arc
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Since 2 pi = 360 deg and pi equals 180 deg, 30 deg = pi / 6.

S = theta * R = pi / 6 * 3 cm = 1.57 cm
