What happens when exhale
polet [3.4K]
When you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts (tightens) and moves downward. This increases the space in your chest cavity, into which your lungs expand. The intercostal muscles between your ribs also help enlarge the chest cavity. They contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.

What is it that makes a magnet different from a piece of iron that is not mangetic?​
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Under normal conditions, a magnetic material like iron doesn't behave like a magnet because the domains don't have a preferred direction of alignment. On the other hand, the domains of a magnet (or a magnetized iron) are all aligned in s specific direction.

A proton and an electron are placed in an electric field. Which undergoes the greater acceleration?
iren2701 [21]

Newton's 2nd law:

Fnet = ma

Fnet is the net force acting on an object, m is the object's mass, and a is the acceleration.

The electric force on a charged object is given by

Fe = Eq

Fe is the electric force, E is the electric field at the point where the object is, and q is the object's charge.

We can assume, if the only force acting on the proton and electron is the electric force due to the electric field, that for both particles, Fnet = Fe

Fe = Eq

Eq = ma

a = Eq/m

We will also assume that the electric field acting on the proton and electron are the same. The proton and electron also have the same magnitude of charge (1.6×10⁻¹⁹C). What makes the difference in their acceleration is their masses. A quick Google search will provide the following values:

mass of proton = 1.67×10⁻²⁷kg

mass of electron = 9.11×10⁻³¹kg

The acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to its mass, so the electron will experience a greater acceleration than the proton.

A weight lifter does 700J of work on a weight that he lifts in 3.1s. What is the power with
IgorLugansk [536]

Power = Work done/Time taken

So, keeping this in mind,we can solve it as follows:

= 700/3.1

= 7000/31

= 225.80 W

You drive a beat-up pickup truck along a straight road for 8.4 km at 70 km/h, at which point the truck runs out of gasoline and
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

v_avg = 37 km/h

Explanation:

To find the average velocity in the complete trajectory you use the following formula:

v_{avg}=\frac{v_1+v_2}{2}   ( 1 )

v1: velocity in the first part of the trajectory = 70 km/h

v2: velocity in the second part of the trajectory = ?

You calculate v2 by using the following equation for a motion with constant velocity:

v_2=\frac{2.0km}{30min}*\frac{60min}{1h}=4\frac{km}{h}

you replace the values of v1 and v2 in (1) and you obtain:

v_{avg}=\frac{70km/h+4km/h}{2}=37\frac{km}{h}

hence, the average velocity is 37 km/h
