The equal and opposite reaction to the gravitational force of the Earth pulling down on a man standing on the beach is the gravitational force of the man pulling up on the Earth. <em>(A)</em>

To put it in other words ... which should begin to blow your mind if you just take a moment to think about them ...

Your weight on Earth is exactly equal to the Earth's weight on YOU.

A dipole is located at the origin, with charges +3 nC and -3 nCseparated by 4 μm. Consider a spherical Gaussian surfacecentered
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )  

The Gaussian surface must  have contained both the charges like +3 nC and - 3 nC , total charges being zero . According the Gauss's law , total electric flux over a closed surface is equal to 1 / ε₀ times the total charge contained inside the closed surface .

Since total charge inside is zero , total flux will be 1 /  ε₀ x 0 = 0

b )

In this case the Gaussian surface is so small that it contains only the charge

+ 3 nC .

So electric flux over the Gaussian surface

= (  1 /  ε₀ ) x 3 x 10⁻⁹

= (1 / 8.85 x 10⁻¹² ) x 3 x 10⁻⁹

= 3 x 10³ / 8.85

= 339 weber.

Use the balanced equation of a nitrogen cycle pathway below to support the conservation of matter and energy.
mojhsa [17]

Explanation :

Given equation

N_{2} + 8H \rightarrow 2NH_{3} + H_{2}

This equation is balanced. because the number of reactants is equal to the number of products.

According to conservation of matter and energy,

The conservation of matter and energy states that matter can not create and can not  destroy but conserved. we can only change one form to another form of the matter and energy.

So, we can say energy conserved and the ,mass of the system always same over time.
