Answer:

The ball has a velocity upwards but the acceleration is downwards. Gravity is giving the ball a downwards acceleration from the moment the ball leaves the hands.

Two particles, each with charge Q, and a third charge q, are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle as shown. The tot

Answer:

<em>D. The total force on the particle with charge q is perpendicular to the bottom of the triangle.</em>

Explanation:

The image is shown below.

The force on the particle with charge q due to each charge Q = $\frac{kQq}{r^{2} }$

we designate this force as N

Since the charges form an equilateral triangle, then, the forces due to each particle with charge Q on the particle with charge q act at an angle of 60° below the horizontal x-axis.

Resolving the forces on the particle, we have

for the x-component

$N_{x}$ = N cosine 60° + (-N cosine 60°) = 0

for the y-component

$N_{y}$ = -f sine 60° + (-f sine 60) = -2N sine 60° = -2N(0.866) = -1.732N

The above indicates that there is no resultant force in the x-axis, since it is equal to zero ( $N_{x}$ = 0).

The total force is seen to act only in the y-axis, since it only has a y-component equivalent to 1.732 times the force due to each of the Q particles on q.

<em>The total force on the particle with charge q is therefore perpendicular to the bottom of the triangle.</em>

A student examines a 20-meter long rectangular stream channel and takes the following measurements: width of stream = 4 meters,

Scrat [10]

Answer:

The discharge of the stream at this location is 40 cubic meters per second.

Explanation:

The discharge is the volume flow rate of the water in the stream. For this purpose we can use the following formula:

Discharge = Volume Flow Rate = (Cross-Sectional Area)(Velocity of Stream)

Volume Flow Rate = (Width of Stream)(Depth of Stream)(Velocity of Stream)

Volume Flow Rate = (4 meters)(2 meters)(5 meters per second)

<u>Volume Flow Rate = 40 cubic meters per second</u>

Therefore, the discharge of the stream at this location is found to be <u>40 cubic meters per second</u>

This result shows that 40 cubic meters volume of water passes or discharges through this point in a time of one second. Hence, this is called the volume flow rate or the discharge of the stream.

The distance between earth and sun is 15000000km. Light takes 499 seconds to reach earth from sun. Calculate the speed of light

iVinArrow [24]

To solve the problem we must know about the relationship between Speed, distance, and Time.

<h3>What is the relationship between Speed, distance, and Time?</h3>

We know that sped, distance, and time all are in a relationship to each other. this relationship can be given as,

$\rm{Speed = \dfrac{Distance}{Time}$
