Answer:

They lie on the Ecliptic (apparent path of the Sun around Earth)

Explanation:

There are total 88 constellations in the sky out of which only 12 are considered as zodiacal constellations or Sun signs. This is because these are the constellations which lie on the Ecliptic.

Ecliptic is the apparent path of Sun around the Earth.

In other words, it can be said that the Sun appears to reside in 12 constellations throughout the year as the Earth revolves around it.

Let's take two balls, each of radius 0.1 meters and charge them each to 3 microCoulombs. Then, let's put them on a flat surface

salantis [7]

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the electric potential energy of two charges at a distance R as follows.

R = 2r

= $2 \times 0.1 m$

= 0.2 m

where, R = separation between center's of both Q's. Hence, the potential energy will be calculated as follows.

U = $\frac{k \times Q \times Q}{R}$

= $\frac{8.98 \times 10^{9} \times (3 \times 10^{-6} C)^{2}}{0.1}$

= 0.081 J

As, both the charges are coming towards each other with the same energy so there will occur equal sharing of electric potential energy between these two charges.

Therefore, when these charges touch each other then they used to posses maximum kinetic energy, that is, $\frac{U}{2}$ .

Hence, K.E = $\frac{U}{2}$

= $\frac{0.081}{2}$

= 0.0405 J

Now, we will calculate the speed of balls as follows.

V = $\sqrt{\sqrt{\frac{2 \times K.E}{m}}$

= $\sqrt{\sqrt{\frac{2 \times 0.0405}{4 kg}}$

= 0.142 m/s

Therefore, we can conclude that final speed of one of the balls is 0.142 m/s.

Why is it important to keep the muzzle of a firearm pointed in a safe direction, even though the firearm's safety is engaged?

Gnom [1K]

The correct answer is B. The safety only prevents you from pulling the trigger, but does not stop the pin from striking the primer. For example, if you drop the firearm, the pin may hit the primer and fire the firearm. It is always responsible to keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction so that if this happens, no consequences come out of it.

If you push a crate across a factory floor at constant speed in a constant direction, what is the magnitude of the force of fric

poizon [28]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force of friction equals the magnitude of my push

Explanation:

Since the crate moves at a constant speed, there is no net acceleration and thus, my push is balanced by the frictional force on the crate. So, the magnitude of the force of friction equals the magnitude of my push.

Let F = push and f = frictional force and f' = net force

F - f = f' since the crate moves at constant speed, acceleration is zero and thus f' = ma = m (0) = 0

So, F - f = 0

Thus, F = f

So, the magnitude of the force of friction equals the magnitude of my push.
