Answer:

Electrons are so small that it does not affect the mass of atom .

Explanation:

Electrons are much smaller in mass than protons, weighing only 9.11 × 10^-28 grams, or about 1/1800 of an atomic mass unit. Therefore, they do not contribute much to an element's overall atomic mass.

Describe how an increase in humidity can affect the water cycle

anastassius [24]

An increase in humidity can strengthen the water cycle, because humidity is essentially boosted evaporation. When you have evaporation, that comes automatically with condensation and precipitation, so rain and cloud cover increases.

a ship travels a port p and travels 30 km due north. then it changes course and travels 20 km in a direction 30° east of north

liq [111]

When we represent what is given to us on a coordinate plane, we have a figure as shown in the attachment.

To find the distance between P and R, we have to find the Net Displacement of the ship (brown arrow in the figure).

For that, we use the rules for Vector addition.

We see that the first displacement $D_{1}$ = 30 km (blue arrow) is along the y-axis, but the second part of the ship's journey $D_{2}$ = 20 km (red arrow) is at an angle with reference to y-axis.

So, we first find the components of the red arrow along X and Y.

Component of $D_{2}$ along X-axis is given by $D_{2x} = D_{2} Sin 30$ = 10 km

Component of $D_{2}$ along Y-axis is given by $D_{2y} = D_{2} Cos 30$ = 17.32 km

We now add all the vectors along X and along Y separately.

Net Displacement along X $D_{netX} = 10 km$

Net Displacement along Y $D_{netY} = 30 + 17.32$ = 47.32 km

Now that we have the components of the net displacement along X and Y, we make use of Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the $D_{net}$

$D_{net} = \sqrt{D_{netX} ^{2} + D_{netY} ^{2}}$

Therefore, [tex]D_{net} = 48.37 km.

Hence, the distance between the ports P and R is 48 km.

A shallow groove on the surface of the cortex is called a ________.

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

sulcus

Explanation:

A sulcus is an indentation or depression in the brain that causes it to look like it ridges or folds

Cerebral sulci and fissures are grooves between the adjacent gyri on the surface of the cerebral hemispheres.

Sulci can be basically can be divided into three basic function

limiting sulcus: This happens to develop between areas differing in structure and function, for example central sulcus

axial sulcus: This develops along the axis of a rapidly growing/developing area (e.g. calcarine sulcus)

operculated sulcus: a sulcus may be between two structurally-different areas and a third sulcus may lie in its wall and does not appear on the surface (e.g. lunate sulcus)

What are 2 uses for this tiny electromagnet?

Ray Of Light [21]

Electromagnets are used in all kinds of electric devices, including hard disk drives, speakers, motors, and generators, as well as in scrap yards to pick up heavy scrap metal. They're even used in MRI machines, which utilize magnets to take photos of your insides!

Two uniform spheres,each of mass 0.260kg are fixed at points A and B

Ivan

Answer:

a) 2.76x10^-9 m/s^2

b) downward

Explanation:

a) In order to do this, we need to use the newton's law of gravitation which is:

F = G.m/r²

Where:

G: Constant of gravitation (6.67x10^-11 N/m)

m: mass of the object

r: distance or radius of the object.

In this case, we have two spheres, so this law becomes:

F = G*m1*m2 / r²

Now, you are not providing a picture with this, however, this problem is very similar to one I solved before, so, I'm gonna use the same values to solve this. If, you have different values for the distance, just replace them in this procedure and should get the correct and more accurate answer.

In this case, the distance that separates sphere in P from sphere A and B is 10 cm. As both spheres have the same mass and they are at the same distance from P, we can assume that F1 = F2 so:

F1 = (6.67x10^-11) * (0.01) * (0.26) / (0.1)² = 1.73x10^-11 N

sphere at P, will roll downward to the middle of sphere A and B. The distance between these two points it's 8 cm (See picture attached)

Now, according to my data, they are exerting a force in the y axis, so:

F1y = Fy * senФ

senФ using trigonometry is:

senФ = opposite lenght / hipotenuse

senФ = 8/10 = 0.8

Replacing:

F1y = 1.73x10^-11 * 0.8 = 1.38x10^-11 N

This force it's exactly the same as F2y, so the total force is:

F = 1.38x10^-11 * 2 = 2.76x10^-11 N

Finally, using the second law of Newton:

F = m*a

Solving for a:

a = F/m

replacing:

a = 2.76x10^-11 / 0.01

a = 2.76x10^-9 m/s²

According to the picture and the value of this magnitude, it's going downward.
