Answer:

The boat's velocity relative to Earth is 3.91 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

speed of ferry due north, V_y = 2.5 m/s

speed of the river to the east, V_x = 3.0 m/s

The boat's velocity relative to Earth is given by;

V = \sqrt{V_x^2 + V_y^2} \\\\V = \sqrt{(3)^2+(2.5)^2}\\\\V = 3.91 \ m/s

Therefore, the boat's velocity relative to Earth is 3.91 m/s.

What pushes against gravity in: a main sequence star, a white dwarf, a neutron star, and a black hole? electron degeneracy, neut
Inga [223]

Answer:

heat pressure, electron degeneracy, neutron degeneracy, and nothing

Explanation:

Main Sequence Star: It is a star in which nuclear fusion is happening in the core of the star. Hydrogen molecules fuse together to generate Helium. This nuclear fusion generates outward gas pressure and radiation pressure which balances the inward gravity thus creating an equilibrium which keeps the stars in shape.

White dwarf: It is the end stage of a medium sized star like the Sun. Outer layers of the star are thrown in the form a shell/bubble leaving a small and dense core in the center called as white dwarf. This core consists of carbon and oxygen. Nuclear fusion doesn't occur in the core of white dwarfs. The inward gravity is balanced by the electron degeneracy pressure. Thus these stars will keep on radiating the remaining heat and will turn in to a black dwarf at the end.

Neutron Star: This is the end stage of a supermassive star (1-3 times the mass of the Sun). At the last stage of the life the core collapses. In these stars the inward gravity is so huge that the pressure overcomes the electron degeneracy pressure and crushes together the electron and proton to form neutron. The neutron then stops the collapse and balances the inward gravity.

Black Hole: This is the end stage of a hyper massive stars weighing more than 3 times the mass of the Sun. The inward gravitational force is so huge that even the neutrons are not able to stop the collapse the core. thus the mass of the star collapses into a very small area of immense gravity. There is nothing that can balance this inward gravity.

A uniformly charged ring of radius 10.0 cm has a total charge of 75.0 mC. Find the electric field on the axis of the ring at (a)
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

(a) 6650246.305 N/C

(b) 24150268.34 N/C

(c) 6408227.848 N/C

(d) 665024.6305 N/C

Explanation:

Given:

Radius of the ring (r) = 10.0 cm = 0.10 m           [1 cm = 0.01 m]

Total charge of the ring (Q) = 75.0 μC = 75\times 10^{-6}\ \mu C    [1 μC = 10⁻⁶ C]

Electric field on the axis of the ring of radius 'r' at a distance of 'x' from the center of the ring is given as:

E_x=\dfrac{kQx}{(x^2+r^2)^\frac{3}{2}}

Plug in the given values for each point and solve.

(a)

Given:

Q=75\times 10^{-6}\ \mu C, r=0.01\ m, a=1.00\ cm=0.01\ m,k=9\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2

Electric field is given as:

E_x=\dfrac{(9\times 10^{9})(75\times 10^{-6})(0.01)}{((0.01)^2+(0.1)^2)^\frac{3}{2}}\\\\E_x=\dfrac{6750}{1.015\times 10^{-3}}\\\\E_x=6650246. 305\ N/C

(b)

Given:

Q=75\times 10^{-6}\ \mu C, r=0.01\ m, a=5.00\ cm=0.05\ m,k=9\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2

Electric field is given as:

E_x=\dfrac{(9\times 10^{9})(75\times 10^{-6})(0.05)}{((0.05)^2+(0.1)^2)^\frac{3}{2}}\\\\E_x=\dfrac{33750}{1.3975\times 10^{-3}}\\\\E_x=24150268.34\ N/C

(c)

Given:

Q=75\times 10^{-6}\ \mu C, r=0.01\ m, a=30.0\ cm=0.30\ m,k=9\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2

Electric field is given as:

E_x=\dfrac{(9\times 10^{9})(75\times 10^{-6})(0.30)}{((0.30)^2+(0.1)^2)^\frac{3}{2}}\\\\E_x=\dfrac{202500}{0.0316}\\\\E_x=6408227.848\ N/C

(d)

Given:

Q=75\times 10^{-6}\ \mu C, r=0.01\ m, a=100\ cm=1\ m,k=9\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2

Electric field is given as:

E_x=\dfrac{(9\times 10^{9})(75\times 10^{-6})(1)}{((1)^2+(0.1)^2)^\frac{3}{2}}\\\\E_x=\dfrac{675000}{1.015}\\\\E_x=665024.6305\ N/C

A heavy boy and a lightweight girl are balanced on a mass-less seesaw. If they both move forward so that they are one-half their
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

b) Nothing will happen,  the sea saw will still be balanced.

Explanation:

b) Nothing will happen,  the sea saw will still be balanced.

Reason:-

When two kids are balanced, the sum of torques on the seesaw will be zero.

if each kid, reduces their distances by half, then the torque of each kid will be half and the sum of torque of each on the seesaw will be zero.

Therefore the seesaw is balanced
