geniusboy [140]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

When charged particles from the sun strike atoms in Earth's atmosphere, they cause electrons in the atoms to move to a higher-energy state. When the electrons drop back to a lower energy state, they release a photon: light. This process creates the beautiful aurora, or northern lights.

Which of the following is not a true statement?<br> v=at<br> O art
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

t = Δa / v

Explanation:

To know which option is not true, we shall fine a relationship between acceleration (a), velocity (v), time (t) and radius (r). This is illustrated below:

Acceleration can simply be defined as the rate of change of velocity with time. Mathematically, it is expressed as shown below:

Acceleration = change in velocity / time

a = Δv / t ..... (1)

But

Δv = v₂ – v₁

Substitute the value of Δv into equation (1)

a = Δv / t

a = v₂ – v₁ / t ....... (2)

From equation (1), make Δv the subject of the equation.

a = Δv / t

Cross multiply

Δv = at .... (3)

From equation (1), make t the subject of the equation.

a = Δv / t

Cross multiply

at = Δv

Divide both side by a

t = Δv /a ...... (4)

From circular motion, centripetal's force is given by:

F = mv²/r

F = ma꜀

Therefore,

ma꜀ = mv²/r

Cancel out m

a꜀ = v²/r

SUMMARY:

a = Δv / t

a = v₂ – v₁ / t

Δv = at

t = Δv /a

a꜀ = v²/r

Considering the options given in question above, t = Δa / v is not a true statement.

If you are pushing on a box with a force of 20 N and there is a 7 N force on the box due to sliding friction, what is the net fo
vovangra [49]

Answer:

13 N

Explanation:

The Net Force of an object should be the difference between the forces applied to the object if the object is not in equilibrium. This object is not in equilibrium so therefore by finding the difference between the forces, you will find your answer. 20 N - 7 N = 13 N.
