Answer:

Protons, Neutron and Electrons.

Explanation:

An atom comprises of three main subatomic particles, the protons (define the type of element), the neutrons and the electrons.

Protons and neutrons are clustered together in the centre with the electrons orbiting around the cluster.

Protons have a positive charge, Neutrons have no charge and Electrons have a negative charge.

If an object is thrown upward with an initial velocity of 128 ft/second, then its height after t seconds is given by the follow

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

The maximum height attained by the object and the number of seconds are 128 ft and 4 sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity u= 128 ft/sec

Equation of height

$h = 128t-32t^2$ ....(I)

(a). We need to calculate the maximum height

Firstly we need to calculate the time

$\dfrac{dh}{dt}=0$

From equation (I)

$\dfrac{dh}{dt}=128-64t$

$128-64t=0$

$t=\dfrac{128}{64}$

$t=2\ sec$

Now, for maximum height

Put the value of t in equation (I)

$h =128\times2-32\times4$

$h=128\ ft$

(b). The number of seconds it takes the object to hit the ground.

We know that, when the object reaches ground the height becomes zero

$128t-32t^2=0$

$t(128-32t)=0$

$128=32t$

$t=4\ sec$

Hence, The maximum height attained by the object and the number of seconds are 128 ft and 4 sec.

Answer:

Resistance to electrical currents

Explanation:

Conductors have low resistance to electrical currents, and are used to "conduct" the flow of electricity.

Insulators have very high resistance and are used to protect us from the flow of electricity.

If an astronomer wants to find and identify as many stars as possible in a star cluster that has recently formed near the surfac

Andru [333]

Answer:

Infrared telescope and camera

Explanation:

An infrared telescope uses infrared light to detect celestial bodies. The infrared radiation is one of the known forms of electromagnetic radiation. Infrared radiation is given off by a body possessing some form of heat. All bodies above the absolute zero temperature in the universe radiates some form of heat, which can then be detected by an infrared telescope, and infrared radiation can be used to study or look into a system that is void of detectable visible light.

Stars are celestial bodies that are constantly radiating heat. In order to see a clearer picture of the these bodies, Infrared images is better used, since they are able to penetrate the surrounding clouds of dust, and have located many more stellar components than any other types of telescope, especially in dusty regions of star clusters like the Trapezium cluster.

If a 10.0 kg object is on a surface that is inclined 30o and the coefficient of static friction is 0.65, what is the force of st

Alexxandr [17]

fraction equation is
F =µR
F=friction,µ=coefficient , R=reaction = mg

use same equation for b part, but the reaction is no longer mg because the plain is now inclined. Draw a forces diagram and you will see that the reaction force can be calculated from the weight of the object and inclination of the plain using trigonometry.
