What is polygamy? Explain please:)

2 answers:

5 0

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 />

What are the three subatomic particles that make up an atom

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

Proton, neutron, electron

Explanation:

The atom consists of a nucleus, where almost all the mass is concentrated, and electrons orbiting around the nucleus.

The nucleus consists of two types of particles:

- Proton: it has a mass of $1.6726\cdot 10^{-27} kg$ , and a positive electric charge of +e ( $1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$ )

- Neutron: it has a mass of $1.6749 \cdot 10^{-27}kg$ , and it has no electric charge

The third particle that makes an atom is the electron, that orbit around the nucleus:

- Electron: it has a mass of $9.1094\cdot 10^{-31}kg$ , and it has a negative electric charge of -e ( $-1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$ )

One electron collides elastically with a second electron initially at rest. After the collision, the radii of their trajectories

morpeh [17]

Answer:

63.750KeV

Explanation:

We are given that

Initial velocity of second electron, $u_2=0$

Radius, $r_1=0$

$r_2=2.3 cm=\frac{2.3}{100}=0.023 m$

1 m=100 cm

Magnetic field,B=0.0370 T

We have to determine the energy of the incident electron.

Mass of electron, $m=9.1\times 10^{-31} kg$

Charge on an electron, $q=-1.6\times 10^{-19} C$

Velocity, $v=\frac{Bqr}{m}$

Using the formula

Speed of electron, $v_1=\frac{Bqr_1}{m}=\frac{0.0370\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 0}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}=0$

Speed of second electron, $v_2=\frac{0.0370\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 0.023}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}$

$v_2=1.5\times 10^8 m/s$

Kinetic energy of incident electron= $\frac{1}{2}mv^2_1+\frac{1}{2}mv^2_2$

Kinetic energy of incident electron= $0+\frac{1}{2}(9.1\times 10^{-31})(1.5\times 10^8)^2=1.02\times 10^{-14} J$

Kinetic energy of incident electron= $\frac{1.02\times 10^{-14}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}=63750eV=\frac{63750}{1000}=63.750KeV$

1KeV=1000eV

As a stands, her entire weight is momentarily placed on the heels of her high-heeled shoes. Calculate the pressure exerted on th

Lena [83]

Answer:

Pressure will be $6072449.952Pa$

Explanation:

We have given mass of the women m = 65 kg

Radius of the heels r = 0.578 cm = 0.00578 m

We have to find the pressure

We know that pressure is given by

$P=\frac{F}{A}=\frac{mg}{A}$

So force F = mg = 65×9.8 = 637 N

Area $A=\pi r^2=3.14\times 0.00578^2=1.049\times 10^{-4}m^2$

So pressure $p=\frac{637}{1.049\times 10^{-4}}=6072449.952Pa$

The local high school is installing new bleachers at the stadium and must also add handrails to meet code. The students know the

Advocard [28]

Answer:

The handrails must be approximately 10.63 meters long

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The height of the bleachers, h = 8 m

The depth of the bleachers, d = 7 m

The length of the hand rails to go along the bleachers from bottom to top is given by Pythagoras' Theorem as follows;

The length of the hand rail = √(d² + h²)

∴ The length of the hand rail = √(7² + 8²) = √113 ≈ 10.63

In order for the handrails to go along the bleachers from top to bottom, they must be approximately 10.63 meters long.
