What is polygamy? Explain please:)

I always thought that 'polygamy' refers to the social system in which a man
may have more than one wife, and I thought there's some other word for
where a woman is married to more than one man. 

But when I went to look it up just now to answer your question, (which by the
way you could also have done very easily), I found a definition that says it's a
"state of marriage between many spouses".  That doesn't specify genders, so
I guess it means any marriage that involves more than two people, no matter
how the genders may be represented or distributed within it.

Polygamy is the marriage that includes two or more partners, like a husband with four wives.<span />

We want to find how much charge is on the electrons in a nickel coin. Follow this method. A nickel coin has a mass of about 4.2
monitta

Answer:

The number of atoms is N = 4.37*10^{22} \ atoms

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

                 The mass of coin  is m_n = 4.2g

                   Number of atom in one mole = n =6.02*10^{23} \ atoms

                   Molar mass of nickel M = 57.8g

Now the relation to obtain the number of atom in  the  nickel coin is

                        N = \frac{Mass \ of Nickel\ coin}{Molar \ mass\ of nickel }  * No\ of\atoms \ in \ \ one\  mole\ of\ nickel

                           = \frac{4.2}{57.8}* 6.02*10^{23}

                           =4.37 *10^{22} atoms

A woman is running around a playground while keeping an eye on her child who is on a swing set. The child is going back and fort
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

(a) 1500 m

(b) 2827.43m

Explanation:

Given that the time for one cycle of the swing is 1 s

The radius of the swing, R= 3.0m

The angle covered, \theta, by each swing is a quarter of the circle. i.e.

\Theta=\frac {\pi}{2}

Speed of running of women =5 m/s.

Time of running = 5 minutes= 5 x 60 secondes= 300 s.

(a) As distance= (speed) x (time)

So, the required distance= 5 x 300 m= 1500 m.

(b) As there are two swings in one cycle, so, the distance covered in one swing is the length of the circular shown in the figure.

As arc length, l= \theta R, where \theta is the angle, in radian, subtended by the arc at the center, and R is the radius of curvature of the arc.

So, the distance covered by the child in 1 swing = \frac {\pi}{2}\times 3 m=\frac{3\pi}{2}m.

In 1 cycle, there are 2 swings, so distance covered in 1 cycle = 3 \pi m.

Now, in 1 second there is 1 cycle, so in 5 minutes there will be 300 cycles.

So, the total distance covered by the child

= 3\pi\times 300 m= 2827.43 m.

What happens when an object is dropped?
katrin2010 [14]
When an object is dropped, tossed, or kicked, as long as it is not laying on the ground, it accelerates downward, because of the force of gravity acting on it.
