D), increases. The object absorbs light energy which in turn (energy is energy) usually involves absorbing heat as well.

6. A car moving in a straight line at constant speed:

ddd [48]

Answer:

D. has no overall force acting on it.

Explanation:

Why?

Because in a straight line at the constant speed means the car moving in the same velocity, which is not acceleration neither deceleration, and it cannot be on a downhill slope. So the correct answer is

<h3>→ D. has no overall force acting on it.</h3>

If you were designing a room in a house, where would be the better place to put a heater, near the floor or near the ceiling? Wh

taurus [48]

Answer: The correct explanation is 2.

Explanation: The warm air is less dense (it expands) and thus it is lighter than the cold air so it will rise up to the floor. Therefore, when you place the heater on the floor it will warm the cold air which would then rise and be replaced by more cold air which would again get warm and rise and so on until the room is heated. This means that the correct explanation is 2.

On the other hand, if you put the heater at the ceiling, it will warm the cold air near the ceiling which would stay up there (it is lighter than the cold air under it). This means that the only way for the heat to spread from this ceiling level warm air to the lower levels is via conduction which is slow.

HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

As per the given Figure attached here we know that both charges q1 and q2 will apply same force on charge q3 and hence the resultant force due to both charges will be along Y axis vertically upwards

So here we know that

$F = \frac{kq_1q_3}{d_{13}^2}$

now from the above equation

$F = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(2\times 10^{-6})(4 \times 10^{-6})}{0.5^2}$

$F = 0.288 N$

so both of the charges will apply 0.288 N force on q3 charge along the line joining them

now the net force due to vector sum is given by

$F_{net} = 2Fcos\theta$

here we know that angle is

$\theta = 37 degree$

now we have

$F_{net} = 2\times 0.288 cos37$

$F_{net} = 0.46 N$

so net force on q3 is 0.46 N vertically upwards along +Y axis

A motorboat traveling with a current can go 160 km in 4 hours. against the current it takes 5 hours to go the same distance. Fin

MatroZZZ [7]

<h2>Speed of motorboat is 36 km/hr and speed of current is 4 km/hr.</h2>

Explanation:

Let speed of motor boat be m and speed of current be c.

A motorboat traveling with a current can go 160 km in 4 hours.

Distance = 160 km

Time = 4 hours

Speed = m + c

We have

Distance = Speed x Time

160 = (m+c) x 4

m + c = 40 --------------------- eqn 1

Against the current it takes 5 hours to go the same distance.

Distance = 160 km

Time = 5 hours

Speed = m - c

We have

Distance = Speed x Time

160 = (m-c) x 5

m - c = 32 --------------------- eqn 2

eqn 1 + eqn 2

2m = 40 + 32

m = 36 km/hr

Substituting in eqn 1

36 + c = 40

c = 4 km/hr

Speed of motorboat is 36 km/hr and speed of current is 4 km/hr.
