Secondary evidence is the basis for drawing scientific conclusions. a. True b. False

Firecrackers A and B are 600 m apart. You are standing exactly halfway between them. Your lab partner is 300 m on the other side

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

See the explanation

Explanation:

Given:

Distance of Firecrackers A and B = 600 m

Event 1 = firecracker 1 explodes

Event 2 = firecracker 2 explodes

Distance of lab partner from cracker A = 300 m

You observe the explosions at the same time

to find:

does event 1 occur before, after, or at the same time as event 2?

Solution:

Since the lab partner is at 300 m distance from the firecracker A and Firecrackers A and B are 600 m apart

So the distance of fire cracker B from the lab partner is:

600 m + 300 m = 900 m

It takes longer for the light from the more distant firecracker to reach so

Let T1 represents the time taken for light from firecracker A to reach lab partner

T1 = 300/c

It is 300 because lab partner is 300 m on other side of firecracker A

Let T2 represents the time taken for light from firecracker B to reach lab partner

T2 = 900/c

It is 900 because lab partner is 900 m on other side of firecracker B

T2 = T1

900 = 300

900 = 3(300)

T2 = 3(T1)

Hence lab partner observes the explosion of the firecracker A before the explosion of firecracker B.

Since event 1 = firecracker 1 explodes and event 2 = firecracker 2 explodes

So this concludes that lab partner sees event 1 occur first and lab partner is smart enough to correct for the travel time of light and conclude that the events occur at the same time.

An electric dipole is formed from ± 5.0 nC point charges spaced 3.0 mm apart. The dipole is centered at the origin, oriented alo

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

The electric field strength at point (x,y) = ( 20 mm ,0cm) is =16321.0769 N/C

The electric field strength at point (x,y) = (0cm, 20 mm) is =35321.58999 N/C

Explanation:

Question: What is the electric field strength at point (x,y) = ( 20 mm ,0cm)?

Answer:

The electric field at any given point of the dipole is given as:

E= (KP) ÷ (r^2 + a^2)^3/2

Where:

K = 9x10^9 Nm^2/c^2 (coloumb constant)

P = (0.003) (5x10^-9c) which is the movement of the dipole

(0.003) is arrived at when mm is converted to m. 3.0 mm space apart was converted to a meter.

r= the point, in the question above is 20mm = 0.02m

Now, the electric field, E can be calculated by putting the values in the formula above:

E = (KP) ÷ (r^2 + a^2)^3/2

= (9x10^9 Nm^2/c^2) (0.003 m) (5x10^-9c) ÷ [ (0.02m)^2 + (0.003)^2]^3/2

= 0.135 ÷ (8.271513x10^-6)

=16321.0769 N/C

Question: What is the electric field strength at point (x,y) = (0cm, 20 mm )?

Answer:

Here, the electric field, E= 2krp ÷ (r^2 - a^2)^2

E= 2 (9x10^9 Nm^2/c^2) (0.02m) (0.003 m) (5x10^-9c) ÷ [(0.02m)^2 - (0.003)^2]^2

= 0.0054 ÷ 0.000000152881

=35321.58999 N/C

Why are the element from period 2 grouped together

valentinak56 [21]

All of the elements in a period have the same number of atomic orbitals. For example, every element in the top row (the first period) has one orbital for its electrons. All of the elements in the second row (the second period) have two orbitals for their electrons. As you move down the table, every row adds an orbital.

A student attaches a rope to his

erastova [34]

The choices are:

a. Normal Force

b. Gravity Force

c. Applied Force

d. Friction Force

e. Tension Force

f. Air Resistance Force

Answer:

The answer is letter e, Tension Force.

Explanation:

Force refers to the "push" and "pull" of an object, provided that the object has mass. This results to acceleration or a change in velocity. There are many types of forces such as Normal Force, Gravity Force, Applied Force, Friction Force, Tension Force and Air Resistance Force.

The situation above is an example of a "tension force." This is considered the force that is being applied to an object by strings or ropes. This is a type force that allows the body to be pulled and not pushed, since ropes are not capable of it. In the situation above, the tension force of the rope is acting on the bag and this allows the bag to be pulled.

Thus, this explains the answer.

Which has greater value, a newton of gold on earth or a newton of gold on the moon?

jek_recluse [69]

The moon, because the acceleration due to gravity is less.
