Convection causes the temperature of the air to vary from cool-hot. this variation between the hot air on the surface of the road and the cold air that is close above it creates a gradient located in the refractive index of air and you see what we call a mirage! hope this helps!.

A snowball is launched horizontally from the top of a building at v = 16.9 m/s. If it lands d = 44 meters from the bottom, how h
Aloiza [94]
v_x=16,9\frac{m}{s}\\
s=44m\\
g=10\frac{m}{s^2}\\\\
v_x=\frac{s}{t}\Rightarrow t=\frac{s}{v_x}\\\\
t=\frac{44}{16,9}\\\\
t=2,6s\\\\
h=\frac{gt^2}{2}\\\\
h=\frac{10*2,6^2}{2}\\\\
h=5*6,76\\\\
h=33,8m

Answer:

onservation of energy

U top = K bottom

(m + m)*g*L = 1/2*I*?^2 where I = m*(L/2)^2 + m*L^2 = 1.25*m*L^2

So 2m*g*L = 1/2*1.25*m*L^2*?^2

So ? = sqrt(3*g*/(1.25*L) ) = sqrt(12g/5L)

The particle is an electron. the field slows down the electron without deflecting it. what is the direction of the electric fiel
sammy [17]

The particle is an electron. The field slows down the electron without deflecting it. The direction of the electric field is <u>right.</u>

In physics, the motion of electrically charged particles gives rise to a field called an electric field. It is measured in force per unit charge.

This field applies force on other charged particles.

Particles bearing opposite charges attract each other while particles having similar charges repel each other in the field.

If a positive charge is placed in the field then the field line moves in an outward direction and for a negative charge, the direction of the lines is inward.
