There are no nothings following.

"Sphere" is quite an accurate description of the Earth's shape.

"Oblate spheroid" is even more accurate.

They're not the exact same thing. But if you saw the Earth right next to an oblate spheroid the same size, you couldn't tell it from a perfect sphere.

Why should we change away from using incandescent light bulbs

Maurinko [17]

They are energy inefficient

Explanation:

The main reason why we must change away from using incandescent lighting bulbs is because of their energy inefficiency.

Much of the power consumed is used in producing heat in an incandescent bulb.
Therefore, they are energy inefficient.
Energy saving bulbs produces less heat and they are more durable.
Most energy saving bulbs are typically more expensive.
Most incandescent bulbs are also not environmentally friendly.

A baseball pitcher throws a ball horizontally at a speed of 34.0 m/s. A catcher is 18.6 m away from the pitcher. Find the magnit

Sidana [21]

To develop this problem, it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the description of the movement through the kinematic trajectory equations, which include displacement, velocity and acceleration.

The trajectory equation from the motion kinematic equations is given by

$y = \frac{1}{2} at^2+v_0t+y_0$

Where,

a = acceleration

t = time

$v_0$ = Initial velocity

$y_0$ = initial position

In addition to this we know that speed, speed is the change of position in relation to time. So

$v = \frac{x}{t}$

x = Displacement

t = time

With the data we have we can find the time as well

$v = \frac{x}{t}$

$t = \frac{x}{v}$

$t = \frac{18.6}{34}$

$t = 0.547s$

With the equation of motion and considering that we have no initial position, that the initial velocity is also zero then and that the acceleration is gravity,

$y = \frac{1}{2} at^2+v_0t+y_0$

$y = \frac{1}{2} gt^2+0+0$

$y = \frac{1}{2} gt^2$

$y = \frac{1}{2} 9.8*0.547^2$

$y = 1.46m$

Therefore the vertical distance that the ball drops as it moves from the pitcher to the catcher is 1.46m.

Two identical charges, 2 m apart, exert forces of magnitude 4 N on each other. The value of each charge is: 1. 9 × 105 C 2. 4.2

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

The value of each charge is 4.22 x 10⁻⁵ C

Explanation:

Given;

distance between the two identical charges, d = 2 m

the force of repulsion between these two charges, F = 4N

Apply Coulomb's law;

$F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2} \\\\but \ q_1 =q_2,then \ let \ q_1 =q_2 = q\\\\F = \frac{kq^2}{r^2}\\\\q^2 = \frac{Fr^2}{k}\\\\q^2 = \frac{4*2^2}{9*10^9} \\\\q ^2 = 1.7778*10^{-9}\\\\q = \sqrt{1.7778*10^{-9}}\\\\q =4.22 *10^{-5} C\\\\q= q_1=q_2= 4.22 *10^{-5} C$

Therefore, the value of each charge is 4.22 x 10⁻⁵ C
