Answer:

The length of the solar day will get shorter.

Explanation:

  • The blue planet Earth not only rotates around it's own axis but also rotates around the Sun and everyday it moves a little bit around the axis.
  • Since the speed of the Earth's rotation on it's own axis and around the Sun is constant we don't feel the effects of the rotation.We can only feel the motion if the earth changes it's rotation speed.
  • If by any means or chance the Earth stopped spinning (stopped rotation) then the atmosphere surrounding the Earth would be in motion and all the Earth's land would be scoured clean.

The closeness of measured values to an accepted value is the BLANK of the data ?
wlad13 [49]
When you refer to how close a measured value is to a standard, accepted or known value, you are talking about the ACCURACY of the data. This is the definition of accuracy when it comes to engineering and other fields of science. 

Accuracy is usually associated or with the term precision, as their definitions are often interchanged.

Why is physics considered to be the basic science?.
Simora [160]

The basic sciences are defined as the scientific disciplines of mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology. They are called basic sciences because they provide a fundamental understanding of natural phenomena and the processes by which natural resources are transformed.

A charged object traveling 7 m in a uniform electric field of 5 N/C experiences a 4 J increase in Kinetic Energy.
Travka [436]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the principles of conservation of Energy in order to obtain the final work done.

The electric field in terms of the Force can be expressed as

E = \frac{F}{q} \rightarrow F=Eq

Where,

F = Force

E= Electric Field

q = Charge

Puesto que el trabajo realizado es equivalente al cambio en la energía cinetica entonces tenemos que

KE = W

KE = F*d

In the First Case,

4 = (qE)d\\q = \frac{4}{Ed}\\q = \frac{4}{5*7}\\q = 0.1142C

In Second Case,

KE = q E'd

KE = (0.1142)(40)(7)

KE = 31.976J

The total energy change would be subject to,

\Delta KE = 31.976-4

\Delta KE = 27.976J

Therefore the Kinetic Energy change of the charged object is 27.976J
