Answer:

b. during the final stages of cooling, a lava flow contracts, forming tall polygonal fractures

Explanation:

The columnar joints are very interesting and attractive for the eye geological features. They are not very common feature which makes them even more interesting. Some of them have been covered by sediments so they are hidden below the surface, but some have remained above the surface, sticking out as the erosion acts much slower on them than the surrounding area. They form when the lava cools off very quickly at its final stages, thus starting to contract, and instead of being smooth, they become polygonal fractures that are very tall.

Which radiation has a higher frequency than visible light

Bogdan [553]

Infrared radiation lies between the visible and microwave portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Infrared waves have wavelengths longer than visible and shorter than microwaves, and have frequencies which are lower than visible and higher than microwaves.

Two equal point charges QQQ are separated by a distance ddd. One of the charges is released and moves away from the other due on

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

The kinetic energy K of the moving charge is K = 2kQ²/3d = 2Q²/(4πε)3d = Q²/6πεd

Explanation:

The potential energy due to two charges q₁ and q₂ at a distance d from each other is given by U = kq₁q₂/r.

Now, for the two charges q₁ = q₂ = Q separated by a distance d, the initial potential energy is U₁ = kQ²/d. The initial kinetic energy of the system K₁ = 0 since there is no motion of the charges initially. When the moving charge is at a distance of r = 3d, the potential energy of the system is U₂ = kQ²/3d and the kinetic energy is K₂.

From the law of conservation of energy, U₁ + K₁ = U₂ + K₂

So, kQ²/d + 0 = kQ²/3d + K

K₂ = kQ²/d - kQ²/3d = 2kQ²/3d

So, the kinetic energy K₂ of the moving charge is K₂ = 2kQ²/3d = 2Q²/(4πε)3d = Q²/6πεd

In a vacuum, two particles have charges of q1 and q2, where q1 = +3.11 μC. They are separated by a distance of 0.241 m, and part

lesya [120]

Answer:

Charge of particle 2, $q_2=-7.13\ \mu C$

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge 1, $q_1=3.11\ \mu C=3.11\times 10^{-6}\ C$

The distance between charges, r = 0.241 m

Force experienced by particle 1, F = 3.44 N

We need to find the magnitude of electric charge 2. It can be calculated using formula of electrostatic force. It is given by :

$F=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{r^2}$

$q_2=\dfrac{Fr^2}{kq_1}$

$q_2=\dfrac{3.44\times (0.241)^2}{9\times 10^9\times 3.11\times 10^{-6}}$

$q_2=7.13\times 10^{-6}\ C$

$q_2=7.13\ \mu C$

So, the magnitude of electric charge 2 is $q_2=7.13\ \mu C$ . Since, the force is attractive then the magnitude of charge 2 must be negative.

How does the law of inertia relate to how the planets in our solar system revolve around the sun?

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

The law of inertia relates to revolution of planets round the sun due to constant motion of the planets round the sun.

Explanation:

Law of inertia states that a body at rest or uniform motion will continue to be at rest or uniform motion unless it is acted upon by an external force.

The gravitational force keeps the planets revolving round the sun in a uniform motion, this will continue till infinity unless equal and opposite force acts on our planets.

Therefore, the law of inertia relates to revolution of planets round the sun due to constant motion of the planets round the sun.

Before using a string in a comparison, you can use either the To Upper method or the To Lower method to convert the string to up

diamong [38]

Answer:

True, check attachment for code

Explanation:

To convert java strings of text to upper or lower case, we can use and inbuilt methods To Uppercase and To lower case.

The first two lines of code will set up a String variable to hold the text "text to change", and then we print it out.

The third line sets of a second String variable called result.

The fourth line is where the conversion is done.

We can compare the string

We can compare one string to another. (When comparing, Java will use the hexadecimal values rather than the letters themselves.) For example, if we wanted to compare the word "Fat" with the word "App" to see which should come first, you can use an inbuilt string method called compareTo.
