Answer: The correct answer is (d).

Explanation:

Magnet has two poles: South pole and North pole. The same poles of the magnets repel each other. The opposite poles of the magnets attract each other.

In the absence of other magnet, a freely swinging magnet points in North-South direction. The earth has a magnetic field. The magnetic field of the bar magnet is same as the magnetic field of the earth's magnet.

The position of the earth's magnetic poles are not fixed. The south pole of the earth's magnet lies in the geographic north as it attracts the north pole of the freely swinging magnet.

If one part of a freely suspended magnet always points to Earth's magnetic pole in the Northern Hemisphere.

Two clouds collide and form another, more massive cloud. One cloud is stationary, while the other is traveling at 1 m/s. After t

sweet [91]

Answer: 3

Explanation:

Given

One cloud is traveling at rate of $u_2=1\ m/s$

combined velocity of the two is $v=0.25\ m/s$

Suppose the masses of the clouds be $m_1,m_2$

Conserving momentum

$\Rightarrow m_1u_1+m_2u_2=\left(m_1+m_2\right)v\\\text{Divide whole equation by }m_2\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{m_1}{m_2}u_1+u_2=\left(\dfrac{m_1}{m_2}+1\right)v\\\\\Rightarrow 0+1=0.25\dfrac{m_1}{m_2}+0.25\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{m_1}{m_2}=\dfrac{0.75}{0.25}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{m_1}{m_2}=3$

when an element tends to lose its valence electrons in chemical reactions , does it behave more like a metal or nonmetal

Juli2301 [7.4K]

It behaves more like a metal

Explanation:

When an element tends to lose its valence electrons in chemical reactions, they behave more like a metal.

Metals are electropositive.

Electropositivity or metallicity is the a measure of the tendency of atoms of an element to lose electrons.

This is closely related to ionization energy and the electronegativity of the element.

The lower the ionization energy of an element, the more electropositive or metallic the element is .

Metals are usually large size and prefers to be in reactions where they can easily lose their valence electrons.

When most metals lose their valence electrons, they attain stability.

Non-metals are electronegative. They prefer to gain electrons.

A packet is dropped from a stationary helicopter, hovering at a height 'h' from the ground level, reaches the ground in 12s. Cal

Ksju [112]

Use kinematic equations to solve:

1) yf = yo + vo*t + 1/2at²

yf = final height
yo = initial height
vo = initial velocity
a = acceleration
t = time

yf - yo = vo*t + 1/2at²

yf - yo = h

vo = 0

Thus,

h = 1/2at²

h = 1/2(9.8)(12)² = 705.6 m

2) vf = vo + at

vo = 0

Thus,

vf = at

vf = (9.8)(12) = 117.6 m/s

(a) what will an object weigh on the moon's surface if it weighs 100 n on earth's surface

juin [17]

We know the equation

weight = mass × gravity

To work out the weight on the moon, we will need its mass, and the gravitational field strength of the moon.
Remember that your weight can change, but mass stays constant.

So using the information given about the earth weight, we can find the mass by substituting 100N for weight, and we know the gravity on earth is 10Nm*2 (Use the gravitational field strength provided by your school, I am assuming yours in 10Nm*2)

Therefore,

100N = mass × 10
mass= 100N/10
mass= 10 kg

Now, all we need are the moon's gravitational field strength and to apply this to the equation

weight = 10kg × (gravity on moon)

A 500 kg table with 4 legs rests on solid flat ground. I place 3 books on the center of the table with masses of 10 kg, 20 kg an

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

1,373.4 N

Explanation:

The mass of the table acts at the centre in addition to the books since that is the centre of gravity of the table.

Mass of books will be 10kg+20kg+30kg=60 kg

Total mass of table and books will be 500kg+60kg=560 kg

This mass is evenly distributed into the four legs hence 560kg/4 legs=140 kg per leg

Force is product of mass and acceleration due to gravity hence F=gm

Taking g as 9.81 m/s2 then

F=140*9.81=1,373.4 N

Therefore, rhe normal force is equivalent to 1,373.4 N
