You are in a car going 70 km/h and another car passes you going in the opposite direction at 70 km/h. Do both cars have the same

No, both the cars do not have the same velocity.

Velocity is a vector quantity and it is the rate of change of displacement with time or change in speed with direction.

Velocity has both magnitude and direction. So when you are in a car going 70 km/h and another car goes in the opposite direction at 70 km/h their velocities are different. 

How?

Consider your car as moving in the positive direction, so its velocity will be 70 km/h and for the car moving in the opposite direction, since the direction is opposite, the velocity of that car will be -70 km/h. This is because, the velocity is a vector quantity that has both magnitude and direction. For one car, the direction is positive and for the other one the direction is negative.

The law of suggests that the orbit of planets is not circular but .
SVEN [57.7K]
One of Kepler's laws is that the orbits of planets are elliptical. It's not a suggestion. BTW, circles are ellipses too, but so special that their likelihood is close to zero.

A 0.00275 kg air‑inflated balloon is given an excess negative charge q1 =−3.50×10−8 C by rubbing it with a blanket. It is found
kati45 [8]

Answer:

1)  \rm q_2 is<u> positive.</u>

<u></u>

2) \rm q_2=4.56\times 10^{-10}\ C.

Explanation:

<h2><u>Part 1:</u></h2>

<u></u>

The charged rod is held above the balloon and the weight of the balloon acts in downwards direction. To balance the weight of the balloon, the force on the balloon due to the rod must be directed along the upwards direction, which is only possible when the rod exerts an attractive force on the balloon and the electrostatic force on the balloon due to the rod is attractive when the polarities of the charge on the two are different.

Thus, In order for this to occur, the polarity of charge on the rod must be positive, i.e., \rm q_2 is <u>positive.</u>

<u></u>

<h2><u>Part 2:</u></h2>

<u></u>

<u>Given:</u>

  • Mass of the balloon, m = 0.00275 kg.
  • Charge on the balloon, \rm q_1 = -3.50\times 10^{-8}\ C.
  • Distance between the rod and the balloon, d = 0.0640 m.
  • Acceleration due to gravity, \rm g = 9.81\ m/s^2.

In order to balloon to be float in air, the weight of the balloom must be balanced with the electrostatic force on the balloon due to rod.

Weight of the balloon, \rm W = mg = 0.00275\times 9.81=2.70\times 10^{-2}\ N.

The magnitude of the electrostatic force on the balloon due to the rod is given by

\rm F_e = \dfrac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_o}\dfrac{|q_1||q_2|}{d^2}.

\rm \dfrac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_o} is the Coulomb's constant.

For the elecric force and the weight to be balanced,

\rm F_e = W\\\dfrac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_o}\dfrac{|q_1||q_2|}{d^2}=W\\8.99\times 10^9\times \dfrac{3.50\times10^{-8}\times |q_2| }{0.0640^2}=2.70\times 10^{-2}\\|q_2| = \dfrac{2.70\times 10^{-2}\times 0.00640^2}{8.99\times 10^9\times 2.70\times 10^{-7}}=4.56\times 10^{-10}\ C.

Which change occurs when an atom undergoes alpha decay?
oee [108]
In an alpha decay, an atom emits an alpha particle. An alpha particle consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons: this means that during this kind of decay, the original atom loses 2 protons and 2 neutrons from its nucleus.

This also means that the atomic number Z of the element (the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus) decreases by 2 units in the process, while the mass number A (the mass number is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons) decreases by 4 units.

Estimate the volume of a piece of molecular cloud that has the same amount of water as your body.
noname [10]

Question:

The water molecules now in your body were once part of a molecular cloud. Only about onemillionth of the mass of a molecular cloud is in the form of water molecules, and the mass density of such a cloud is roughly 2.0×10−21 g/cm^3.

Estimate the volume of a piece of molecular cloud that has the same amount of water as your body.

Answer:

The volume of cloud that has the same density as the amount of water in our body is 1.4×10²⁵ cm³

Explanation:

Here, we have mass density of cloud  =  2.0×10⁻²¹ g/cm^3

Density = Mass/Volume

Volume = Mass/Density =   If the mass is 40 kg and the body is made up of 70% by mass of water, we have

28 kg water = 28000 g

Therefore the Volume = 28 kg/ 2.0×10⁻²¹ g/cm^3 = 1.4×10¹⁹ m³ = 1.4×10²⁵ cm³.

Therefore, the volume of cloud that has the same density as the amount of water in our body = 1.4×10²⁵ cm³.

A 4.4 nC charge exerts a repulsive force of 36 mN on a second charge which is located
zhenek [66]

The magnitude and sign of the second charge will be + 8.6241×10⁻¹⁹ C. The principal of the Columb's law is used in the given problem.

<h3>What is Columb's law?</h3>

The force of attraction between two charges, according to Coulomb's law, is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Charges that are similar repel each other, whereas charges that are diametrically opposed attract each other.

They will repel, moving in opposite directions at the same speed. Because the magnitude and nature of the charge are the same.

The given data in the problem is;

q₁  is the charge 1 = 4.4 nC = 4.4 ×10⁻⁹ C

F is the repulsive force = 36 mN =36 ×10⁶ N

d is the distance = 0.70 m

The Coulomb force is found as;

\rm F = \frac{Kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\\\\ \rm 36\times 10^6 = \frac{9 \times 10^9 }{(0.7)^2} \times 4.4 \times 10^{-9} \times q_2\\\\\ q_2 = 8.6241  \times 10^{-19 } \ C

Hence, the magnitude and sign of the second charge will be + 8.6241×10⁻¹⁹ C.
