Answer:

The solar system is enormous, and interstellar space is even bigger. One astronomical unit is equal to 150 million kilometers. This makes it much easier to count the distances if they're in counts of Astronomic Units instead of having to count everything in millions or billions of kilometers

Nellie pulls on a 10kg wagon with a constant horizontal force of 30N. If there are no other horizontal forces, what is the wagon

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

The acceleration of the wagon is 3 m/s².

To calculate the acceleration of the wagon, we use the formula below.

Formula:

F = ma............. Equation 1

Where:

F = horizontal Force

m = mass of the wagon

a = acceleration of the wagon.

make a the subject of the equation

a = F/m.............. Equation 2

From the question,

Given:

F = 30 N

m = 10 kg

Substitute these values into equation 2

a = 30/10

a = 3 m/s²

Hence, the acceleration of the wagon is 3 m/s².

A charge q = 3 × 10-6 C of mass m = 2 × 10-6 kg, and speed v = 5 × 106 m/s enters a uniform magnetic field. The mass experiences

NeX [460]

Answer:

Magnetic field, B = 0.004 mT

Explanation:

It is given that,

Charge, $q=3\times 10^{-6}\ C$

Mass of charge particle, $m=2\times 10^{-6}\ C$

Speed, $v=5\times 10^{6}\ m/s$

Acceleration, $a=3\times 10^{4}\ m/s^2$

We need to find the minimum magnetic field that would produce such an acceleration. So,

$ma=qvB\ sin\theta$

For minimum magnetic field,

$ma=qvB$

$B=\dfrac{ma}{qv}$

$B=\dfrac{2\times 10^{-6}\ C\times 3\times 10^{4}\ m/s^2}{3\times 10^{-6}\ C\times 5\times 10^{6}\ m/s}$

B = 0.004 T

B = 4 mT

So, the magnetic field produce such an acceleration at 4 mT. Hence, this is the required solution.

7) Germanium, element 32 on the Periodic Table, is shown here. If a proton is added to the nucleus of germanium, what outcome(s)

cestrela7 [59]

Addition of a proton to germanium will convert it to arsenic (element 33) having different properties.

The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. The atomic number serves as the identity of an atom. If the atomic number is changed by adding or removing protons, the identity of that atom changes.

Hence, when a proton is added to germanium, the atom would become arsenic (element 33) and have different properties.
