Answer:

D). Field lines circle the Earth from east to west.

Explanation:

A microscopic force or gigantic magnetic field surrounds the Earth which functions as a force field that guards the planet against the radiations released from space. This magnetic field is characterized by the alignment of the North and South poles with the axis of rotation. Thus, the magnetic field lines of the Earth surround or circle of the Earth from East to West. Therefore, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.

Problem 21-40a:

Greeley [361]

Answer:

Part a)

$\frac{F_e}{F_g} = 2.74 \times 10^{12}$

Part b)

$q = 3.37 \times 10^{-4} C$

Explanation:

As we know that electric force on electric charge is given as

$F = qE$

here we have

$q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19}C$

E = 153 N/C

now force is given as

$F = (1.6 \times 10^{-19})(153) = 2.45 \times 10^{-17} N$

Gravitational force on electric charge near surface of earth is given as

$F_g = mg$

$F_g = (9.1 \times 10^{-31})(9.81) = 8.93 \times 10^[-30} N$

now the ratio of two forces is given as

$\frac{F_e}{F_g} = \frac{2.45 \times 10^{-17}}{8.93 \times 10^{-30}}$

$\frac{F_e}{F_g} = 2.74 \times 10^{12}$

Part b)

Now the ball is balanced by the electric force and the force of gravity on it

so here we have

$F_g = qE$

$mg = qE$

$(5.25 \times 10^{-3})(9.81) = q(153)$

here we have

$q = 3.37 \times 10^{-4} C$

What is the magnitude of the Box's Acceleration?

mojhsa [17]

The Box's Acceleration : g sin θ

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Newton's 2nd law explains that the acceleration produced by the resultant force on an object is proportional and in line with the resultant force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object

∑F = m. a

F = force, N

m = mass = kg

a = acceleration due to gravity, m / s²

We plot the forces acting on the block (picture attached) according to the y-axis and the x-axis.

Because the motion of the block is in the same direction as the x-axis, ignoring the friction force with the inclined plane, then

$\tt \sum F_x=m.a\\\\W.sin\theta=m.a\\\\mgsin\theta=m.a\\\\a=gsin\thet\theta$

You are tasked with calibrating the springs for a pinball machine. Your method of testing the springs is by attaching masses ont

choli [55]

Answer:

$490.5\ \text{N/m}$

Explanation:

m = Mass attached to spring = 14 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = $9.81\ \text{m/s}^2$

x = Displacement of spring = $78-50=28\ \text{cm}$

k = Spring constant

The force balance of the system is given by

$kx=mg\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{mg}{x}\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{14\times 9.81}{0.28}\\\Rightarrow k=490.5\ \text{N/m}$

The spring constant for that spring is $490.5\ \text{N/m}$ .

Can some one help me ;-;

enyata [817]

Answer: The first answer for the first problem, and the 2nd answer for the second problem

Explanation: For the first one, if it is absolute zero, the molecules would not move at all.

For the second one, the temperature of the sample will increase due to the movement.

BRAINLIEST WELL BE AWARDED.<br>what is an alloy?

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Alloy, metallic substance composed of two or more elements, as either a compound or a solution. The components of alloys are ordinarily themselves metals, though carbon, a nonmetal, is an essential constituent of steel.

Explanation:

Alloys are usually produced by melting the mixture of ingredients. The value of alloys was discovered in very ancient times; brass (copper and zinc) and bronze (copper and tin) were especially important. Today, the most important are the alloy steels, broadly defined as steels containing significant amounts of elements other than iron and carbon. The principal alloying elements for steel are chromium, nickel, manganese, molybdenum, silicon, tungsten, vanadium, and boron have a wide range of special properties, such as hardness, toughness, corrosion resistance, magnetizability, and ductility. Nonferrous alloys, mainly copper–nickel, bronze, and aluminum alloys, are much used in coinage. The distinction between an alloying metal and an impurity is sometimes subtle; in aluminum, for example, silicon may be considered an impurity or a valuable component, depending on the application, because silicon adds strength though it reduces corrosion resistance.
