In air, you'd call it air resistance, pilots call it drag.  In water, some call it
water resistance, or just plain drag. 

Whatever it's called, it's the friction between the object and the fluid, plus
the force needed to push the fluid out of the way to let the object get through.

In a Rutherford scattering experiment a target nucleus has a diameter of 1.34×10-14 m. The incoming α particle has a mass of 6.6
Rasek [7]

Answer:

E = 2.5 x 10⁻¹⁴ J

Explanation:

given,

diameter = 1.33 x 10⁻¹⁴ m

mass = 6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

wavelength is equal to diameter

de broglie wavelength equal to diameter

         \lambda = \dfrac{h}{mv}

         1.33 \times 10^{-14}= \dfrac{6.626 \times 10^{-34}}{6.64 \times 10^{-27}\times v}

         v= \dfrac{6.626 \times 10^{-34}}{6.64 \times 10^{-27}\times 1.33 \times 10^{-14}}

              v = 7.5 x 10⁶ m/s

Kinetic energy is equal to

     E = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

     E = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 6.64 \times 10^{-27}\times (7.5\times 10^6)^2

            E = 2.5 x 10⁻¹⁴ J

Granite is uplifted by the movement of tectonic plates. It will most likely become _____.
hammer [34]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Sedimentary rock

Granite is uplifted by the movement of tectonic plates. It will most likely become a <em><u>sedimentary rock</u></em>.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Granite is an intrusive igneous rock that is coarse-grained and light-colored, mainly composed of feldspar and quartz.  It forms from the crystallization or the cooling of magma in the Earth's crust.
  • <em><u>When igneous rocks such as granite undergo weathering and erosion they form sediments that are deposited, then compacted and cemented by the movement of tectonic plates resulting to the formation of sedimentary rocks.</u></em>

A jar of tea is placed in sunlight until it reaches an equilibrium temperature of 31.8 ◦C . In an attempt to cool the liquid, wh
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of liquid m₁ = 161 g

temperature t₁ = 31.8

final temperature t₂ = 28.8

Let m g of ice melted to cool the liquid

heat gained = mass x latent heat of fusion + mass x loss of temp x s heat of water

= m x 80 + m x 1 x ( 31.8 - 28.8 ) ( latent heat of ice = 80 cals/g )

= 83 m

heat lost  = 161 x 1 x ( 31.8 - 28.8 ) ( specific heat of water = 1 cal / g / k )

= 161 x 3

heat lost = heat gained

83 m = 161 x 3

m = 5.82 g

mass of remaining ice = 131 - 5.82

= 125.18 g

A shopper walks eastward 5.4 meters, then walks westward 8.9 meters, what is the distance moved
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

3.5 m

Explanation:

The wording at the end is not very clear, but I am pretty sure that the question is asking for the total distance moved from the starting point. If this is the case, the answer is found by subtracting the two vectors from each other because they are in opposite directions. This gives you 3.5 m. If the question was asking for the actual total distance moved, you would just add them together and get 14.3 m, but I don't think that is what the question is asking for. Hope this helps! :)
