Answer:

True

Explanation:

True

Diffusion refers to that process through which concentration is transmitted from one place to another concentration i.e from higher concentration to lower concentration. Due to this only, characteristics able to spread all over the space.

it can only happen in fluid(liquid and gas) because their particle can move in a random direction

A 150-newton force, applied to a wooden crate at an angle of 30° above the horizontal, causesthe crate to travel at constant vel

omeli [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

A component of 150 N in vertical direction will reduce the magnitude of reaction force.

reaction force exerted by the floor

= mg - 150 sin 30

where m is mass of the crate .

the magnitude of the horizontal component of the 150-newton force

150 cos30

= 130 N

This force tries to pull the crate in forward direction with acceleration but it has no acceleration . It is so because frictional force of equal magnitude acts on it in opposite direction which makes the net force acting on it equal to zero.

Hence frictional force is equal to 150 cos 30.

= 130 N .

Answer:

While a body is said to be in motion if it changes its position with respect to immediate surroundings.

A body is said to be in uniform motion if it covers equal distances in equal interval of time.

A body is said to be in non-uniform motion if it covers unequal distances in equal interval of time or vice-versa

Three point charges are located on the x-axis. The first charge, q1 = 10 μC, is at x = -1.0 m. The second charge, q2 = 20 μC, is

victus00 [196]

Answer:

3.15 N towards the positive x-axis

Explanation:

first charge has charge q1 = 10 μC = 10 x 10^-6 C

second charge has charge q2 = 20 μC = 20 x 10^-6 C

third charge has charge q3 = -30 μC = -30 x 20^-6 C

According to coulomb's law, force between two charged particle is given as

F = $\frac{-kQq}{r^2}$

Where

F is the force between the charges

k is Coulomb's constant = 9 x 10^9 kg⋅m^3⋅s^−2⋅C^−2.

Q is the magnitude of one charge

q is the magnitude of the other charge

is the distance between these two charges

For the force on q2 due to q1,

distance r between them = 0 - (-1.0) = 1 m

F = $\frac{-9*10^{9}*10*10^{-6}*20*10^{-6}}{1^2}$ = -1.8 N (the negative sign indicates a repulsion on q2 towards the positive x-axis)

For the force on q2 due to q3,

distance between them = 2.0 - 0 = 2 m

F = $\frac{-9*10^{9}*20*10^{-6}*(-30*10^{-6})}{2^2}$ = 1.35 N (the positive sign indicates an attraction on q2 towards the positive x-axis)

Resultant force on q2 = 1.8 N + 1.35 N = 3.15 N towards the positive x-axis

in a cricket match there are 5000 spectators counted 10 by 10 the number of significant figure in the measurement will be

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

$\boxed{3 \ Significant \ figures}$

Explanation:

Total spectators = 5000

Counted by the groups of ten, So at last the result will be:

=> 5000/10 = 500

Significant figures in 500 are 3
