She needs to move x km in the east-west direction and y km in the north-south direction so that

\sqrt{x^2+y^2}=2.17

and

\tan29.6^\circ=\dfrac yx

Solve the system to get

x=1.89\,\mathrm{km}

y=1.07\,\mathrm{km}

A proton, an alpha particle (a bare helium nucleus), and a singly ionized helium atom are accelerated through a potential differ
ra1l [238]

Answer:

The correct question is:

"Find the energy each gains"

The energy gained by a charged particle accelerated through a potential difference is given by

\Delta U = q\Delta V

where

q is the charge of the particle

\Delta V is the potential difference

For a proton,

q=+e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C

And since \Delta V=100 V

The energy gained by the proton is

\Delta U=(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(100)=1.6\cdot 10^{-17}J

For an alpha particle,

q=+2e=3.2\cdot 10^{-19}C

Therefore, the energy gained is

\Delta U=(3.2\cdot 10^{-19})(100)=3.2\cdot 10^{-17}J

Finally, for a singly ionized helium nucleus (a helium nucleus that has lost one electron)

q=+e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C

So the energy gained is the same as the proton:

\Delta U=(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(100)=1.6\cdot 10^{-17}J

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

B. Time and Space

Explanation:

Matter is a pshyical or corporeal susbtance in general, whether solid, liquid, or gaseous especially as distinguised from incorpeal substance, as spirit or mind, or form qualities, actions, and the

Within this time-and-space boundary, all matter exists. All matter is made up of atoms. Because these atoms take up space in the universe, solids, liquids, and gases are recognized as existing and may be found in all three dimensions.

Time is a figurative term. Space has three dimensions but time only has one.

Question 33
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

A. The waves in the water travel faster and at a higher frequency than they travel on land.

Explanation:

The main reason why human ears can hear dolphins' vocalizations while under the water but cannot hear them well on land is because water is denser than air and air particles travel faster in denser particles.

Denser particles also ensures that the frequency of the waves move faster which in turn produces a faster and louder result.

A 10 kg cart is rolling across a parking lot with a velocity of .5 m/s. What is its momentum?
-Dominant- [34]

Hello!

\large\boxed{p = 5  \text{ } kgm/s}

Use the equation for momentum:

p = mv

Plug in the given mass and velocity into the equation:

p = 10 * 0.5

p = 5 kgm/ s
