Raindrops hitting the side windows of a car in motion often leave diagonal streaks even if there is no wind. Why? Is the explana

tion the same or different for diagonal streaks on the windshield?
Physics

Answer:

because of the raindrop velocity relative of the car has a vertical and horizontal component  

Explanation:

  1. The car moves in a <em>horizontal direction </em>relative to the ground. The raindrops fall in the <em>vertical direction</em> relative to the ground.
  2. Their velocity relative to the moving car has  both vertical and horizontal components and this is the reason for the diagonal streaks on the side window.
  3. The diagonal streaks on the windshield  arise from a different reason.
  4. The drops  are pushed  off to  one side  of the  windshield  because  of air resistance.

Tectonic plates move due to _____ forces.
wel
<span>Tectonic plates move because they are floating on top of the liquid mantle. The mantle itself moves due to convection currents: hot rock rises, gives off some heat, then falls. This creates vast swirls of moving liquid rock under the crust of the earth, which jostles the plates of crust on top.

Consider the addition of an electron to the following atoms from the fourth period. Rank the atoms in order from the most negati
Murrr4er [49]
Electron configurations:

Ge: [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p2 => 6 electrons in the outer shell

Br: [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p5 => 7 electrons in the outer shell

Kr: [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p6 => 8 electrons in the outer shell

The electron affinity or propension to attract electrons is given by the electronic configuration. Remember that the most stable configuration is that were the last shell is full, i.e. it has 8 electrons.

The closer an atom is to reach the 8 electrons in the outer shell the bigger the electron affinity.

Of the three elements, Br needs only 1 electron to have 8 electrons in the outer shell, so it has the biggest electron affinity (the least negative).

Ge: needs 2 electrons to have 8 electrons in the outer shell, so it has a smaller (more negative) electron affinity than Br.

Kr, which is a noble gas, has 8 electrons and is not willing to attract more electrons at all, the it has the lowest (more negative) electron affinity of all three to the extension that really the ion is so unstable that it does not make sense to talk about a number for the electron affinity of this atom.

. A spring has a length of 0.200 m when a 0.300-kg mass hangs from it, and a length of 0.750 m when a 1.95-kg mass hangs from it
kap26 [50]

Answer:

29.4 N/m

0.1  

Explanation:

a) From the restoring Force we know that :  

F_r = —k*x  

the gravitational force :  

F_g=mg  

Where:

F_r is the restoring force .

F_g is the gravitational force

g is the acceleration of gravity

k is the constant force  

xi , x2 are the displacement made by the two masses.

Givens:

<em>m1 = 1.29 kg</em>

<em>m2 = 0.3 kg  </em>

<em>x1   = -0.75 m  </em>

<em>x2 = -0.2 m </em>

<em>g   = 9.8 m/s^2  </em>

Plugging known information to get :

F_r =F_g

-k*x1 + k*x2=m1*g-m2*g

k=29.4 N/m

b) To get the unloaded length 1:  

l=x1-(F_1/k)

Givens:

m1 = 1.95kg , x1 = —0.75m  

Plugging known infromation to get :

l= x1 — (F_1/k)  

= 0.1

____ [38]

Answer: Please find the answer in the explanation

Explanation: According to the Newton 3rd law of motion which state that;

In every action, there will be equal and opposite reaction.

when the piston of a fountain pen with a nib is dipped into ink and and the air is released by pressing it, a force is applied which act on the molecules of the ink by pushing the molecules. When the force is released, there will be a reaction force by pulling the molecules of the ink into the pen. Thereby the ink fills in the pen.
