Based on the given picture above, I can say that this kind of rock is what we call a PRECARIOUS BOULDER, or in simpler terms, it is called a BALANCING ROCK. It is a geological formation that occurs naturally. This can be found in several parts of the earth. How the rock is kept balanced on its tiny pedestal is that it is firmly attached to a base rock or a stem.

Answer:

Now, suppose you have a more common figure, like a square, and you want to balance it over a pencil for example.

When you put the square over the pencil, you want that the point where the square touches the pencil is right in the middle of one of the faces of the square. This is because, in this situation, you know that the mass is evenly distributed over all sides now, and none side of the square is pulling down with more force than another side.

Now, this is the same with this rock, the mass is evenly distributed around the contact point, so no side has more force downwards than another side, then all the forces are canceled, and if there are no forces acting on the rock, it will remain in place.

Two charged particles exert an electric force of 27 N on each other. What will the magnitude of the force be if the distance bet
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

243 N

Explanation:

The formula for electromagnetic force is F= Kq1q2/r^2

where r is the distance between the charges, if the distance between the charges is reduced by 1/3 then F will increase by 9 [(1/3r)^2 becomes 1/9r which is 9F] so 27*9 is 243N

A billiard ball is moving in the x-direction at 30.0 cm/s and strikes another billiard ball moving in the y-direction at 40.0 cm
____ [38]

Answer:

53.13 °

Explanation:

In order to do this, we just need to apply the following:

tanα = Dy/Dx

Where:

Vy: speed of the ball in the y axis.

Vx: speed of the ball in the x axis.

At this point we do not need the speed of the first ball after the collision because in that moment is already heading in the direction that we are looking for. Therefore, we just need to use the innitial data to calculate the direction which the first ball will go.

According to this, then:

tanα = (40/30)

tanα = 1.3333

α = tan⁻¹(1.3333)

<h2>α = 53.13°</h2>

This means that the final direction of the first ball is 53.13° and in the x axis because the starting momentum of this ball in the x axis has not dissapeared.

Hope this helps

The specific heat of a certain type of metal is 0.128 J/(g⋅∘C).0.128 J/(g⋅∘C). What is the final temperature if 305 J305 J of he
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

45.3°C

Explanation:

Heat gained = mass × specific heat × increase in temperature

q = mC (T − T₀)

Given C = 0.128 J/g/°C, m = 94.0 g, q = 305 J, and T₀ = 20.0°C:

305 J = (94.0 g) (0.128 J/g/°C) (T − 20.0°C)

T = 45.3°C
