Answer: False.

Explanation: The Earth rotates once per day in direction from East to West. The rotation of the Earth daily is responsible for day and night experienced, the areas of the Earth facing the Sun experiences day time while the areas of the Earth away from the Sun in the Earth's shadow experiences night time.

While the revolution of the Earth around the gives rise to a year, as it takes 365 days for the Earth to go round the sun.

Answer:

A. negatively charged are deposited on the belt, which deposits positive charges on the metal ball.

Explanation:

Negatively charged ions are injected at one end of thebelt towards the high potntial terminal, where they are acclerated by attractive forces towards the terminal. When the particles reach the terminal, they are stripped of some electrons to make them positively charged.

lakkis [162]

Answer:

Radio Waves

Explanation:

Radio wave is a type of electromagnetic radiation notorious for their use in technologies used for communication like air traffic control, mobile phones, televisions and remote-controlled toys. Radio waves have the longest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum and are easily transmitted through air.

A radar gun uses radio waves to tell how far away an object is. To do that, the radar tool emits a focused radio wave and listens for any echo. If there is an item, say a car within the route of the radio wave, it's going to replicate some of the electromagnetic energy, and the radio wave will return to the radar gun. Radio waves flow via the air at a steady pace, so the radar gun can calculate how far the object is based totally on how long it takes the radio signal to return.

A man dropped a dime in a wishing well , he heard it 5 sec later ..Find distance traveled if moving at 10 m/s 2

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

The distance traveled is 109.58 m

Explanation:

The Speed of sound in air = 344 m/s

Let the time in which the dime dropped by the man reach an impact in the well = t₁

Let the time in which the sound travel from the well to the man = t₂

Then

1/2× 10 × t₁² = 344 × t₂ which gives;

5 × t₁² = 344 × t₂.........................(1)

Also the total time before the man heard the dime = t₁ + t₂ = 5

Therefore;

t₂ = 5 - t₁

Substituting the value of t₂ in equation (1), we have;

5 × t₁² = 344 × (5 - t₁)

5·t₁² + 344·t₁ - 1720 = 0

Using the quadratic formula, we have;

$x = \dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4\cdot a\cdot c}}{2\cdot a}$

Which gives;

$t_1 = \dfrac{-344\pm \sqrt{344^{2}-4\times 5\times (-1720)}}{2\times 5}$

t₁ = 4.68 s or -73.48 s

Therefore, with the positive value for t₁ = 4.68 s, we have

The distance = 1/2× 10 × 4.68² = 109.58 m

The distance traveled = 109.58 m.

A 1502.7 kg car is traveling at 33.1 m/s when

Bond [772]

By definition of average acceleration,

<em>a</em> = (20 m/s - 33.1 m/s) / (4.7 s) ≈ -2.78 m/s²

Vertically, the car is in equilibrium, so the net force is equal to the friction force in the direction opposite the car's motion:

∑ <em>F</em> = (1502.7 kg) (-2.78 m/s²) ≈ -4188.38 N ≈ -4200 N

If you just want the magnitude, drop the negative sign.
