Metal surfaces on spacecraft in bright sunlight develop a net electric charge.

Answer:

Positive.

Explanation:

As a consequence of the photoelectric effect, electrons that will get hit by sufficiently energetic photons will abandon the metal surfaces exposed to bright sunlight. This decreases the negative charge of the surface, thus causing it to develop a positive net charge.

Olin [163]

Answer:

option D

Explanation:

The correct answer is option D

Netnography is a set of research practice which is used in the collection of data, analysis of the data and representation of it. Most of the data is collected by a public conversation recorded by the communication network.

Netnography uses the conversation as collected data.

so, Photos shared on Instagram can be used to track consumption patterns and conversations of online consumers.

A wind turbine has a total input power of 2 500 kW.

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Output power = 500 KW

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Efficiency = 20%

Input power = 2500 KW

To find the output power;

$Efficiency = \frac {Out-put \; power}{In-put \; power} * 100$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

LET Output power = OP

$20 = \frac {OP}{2500} * 100$

Cross-multiplying, we have;

$20 * 2500 = OP * 100$

$50000 = OP * 100$

$OP = \frac {50000}{100}$

Output power = 500 KW

If the force that propels the cannonball forward is 500N, how much force will move the cannon backward?

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Well it would be equal to 500N because pushing forward the ball (or whatever maybe a body) would push the canon back an even 500N backwards...

Work of 5 Joules is done in stretching a spring from its natural length to 19 cm beyond its natural length. What is the force (i

densk [106]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

5J work is done by stretching a spring

e = 19cm = 0.19m

Assuming the spring is ideal, then we can apply Hooke's law

F = kx

To calculate k, we can apply the Workdone by a spring formula

W=∫F.dx

Since F=kx

W = ∫kx dx from x = 0 to x = 0.19

W = ½kx² from x = 0 to x = 0.19

W = ½k (0.19²-0²)

5 = ½k(0.0361-0)

5×2 = 0.0361k

Then, k = 10/0.0361

k = 277.008 N/m

The spring constant is 277.008N/m

Then, applying Hooke's law to find the applied force

F = kx

F = 277.008 × 0.19

F = 52.63 N

The applied force is 52.63N
