Answer: True

Explanation: Inductors are similar to resistors, due to the fact that they offer resistance to current flow, but Inductors are different from resistors in that, while resistors loss electric energy in a circuit in the form of heat, an inductor stores that energy in the form of a magnetic field.

As current passes through an inductor overtime it tends to store current in the form of magnetic field. Therefore the electric-power industry can store energy in large Inductors.

The terrestrial planets are made almost entirely of elements heavier than hydrogen and helium. According to modern science, wher

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

They were produced by stars that lived and died before our solar system was born.

Explanation:

According to what it's understood today, all elements heavier than hydrogen (including helium and excluding some that were created in laboratories) are created through nuclear fusion in the core of stars.

They start fusing hydrogen into helium, then as the star grows older helium is fused into beryllium and so on for all the periodic table.

So as far as science understands it today it's a literal truth that we are made of stars. (as almost everything else)

A mass MM uniform solid cylinder of radius RR and a mass MM thin uniform spherical shell of radius RR roll without slipping. If

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

vcyl / vsph = 1.05

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of a rolling object can be expressed as the sum of a translational kinetic energy plus a rotational kinetic energy.
The traslational part can be written as follows:

$K_{trans} = \frac{1}{2}* M* v_{cm} ^{2} (1)$

The rotational part can be expressed as follows:

$K_{rot} = \frac{1}{2}* I* \omega ^{2} (2)$

where I = moment of Inertia regarding the axis of rotation.
ω = angular speed of the rotating object.
If the object has a radius R, and it rolls without slipping, there is a fixed relationship between the linear and angular speed, as follows:

$v = \omega * R (3)$

For a solid cylinder, I = M*R²/2 (4)
Replacing (3) and (4) in (2), we get:

$K_{rot} = \frac{1}{2}* \frac{1}{2} M*R^{2} * \frac{v_{cmc} ^{2}}{R^{2}} = \frac{1}{4}* M* v_{cmc}^{2} (5)$

Adding (5) and (1), we get the total kinetic energy for the solid cylinder, as follows:

$K_{cyl} = \frac{1}{2}* M* v_{cmc} ^{2} +\frac{1}{4}* M* v_{cmc}^{2} = \frac{3}{4}* M* v_{cmc} ^{2} (6)$

Repeating the same steps for the spherical shell:

$I_{sph} = \frac{2}{3} * M* R^{2} (7)$

$K_{rot} = \frac{1}{2}* \frac{2}{3} M*R^{2} * \frac{v_{cms} ^{2}}{R^{2}} = \frac{1}{3}* M* v_{cms}^{2} (8)$

$K_{sph} = \frac{1}{2}* M* v_{cms} ^{2} +\frac{1}{3}* M* v_{cms}^{2} = \frac{5}{6}* M* v_{cms} ^{2} (9)$

Since we know that both masses are equal each other, we can simplify (6) and (9), cancelling both masses out.
And since we also know that both objects have the same kinetic energy, this means that (6) are (9) are equal each other.
Rearranging, and taking square roots on both sides, we get:

$\frac{v_{cmc}}{v_{cms}} =\sqrt{\frac{10}{9} } = 1.05 (10)$

This means that the solid cylinder is 5% faster than the spherical shell, which is due to the larger moment of inertia for the shell.

How could glacial marks on one continent be similar to glacial marks on another continent far away?

BigorU [14]

Answer:

Plate Tectonics

Explanation:

Plate tectonics is the scientific theory that the continents move around due to due plate tectonics and the movement of magma under the crust. This explains why some fossils of the same kind are found on other continents, and same goes for the Glacial Marks.

In the most common isotope of Hydrogen the nucleus is made out of a single proton. When this Hydrogen atom is neutral, a single

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

The ratio of electric force to the gravitational force is $2.27\times 10^{39}$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Distance between electron and proton, $r=4.53\ A=4.53\times 10^{-10}\ m$

Electric force is given by :

$F_e=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{r^2}$

Gravitational force is given by :

$F_g=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{r^2}$

Where

$m_1$ is mass of electron, $m_1=9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg$

$m_2$ is mass of proton, $m_2=1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg$

$q_1$ is charge on electron, $q_1=-1.6\times 10^{-19}\ kg$

$q_2$ is charge on proton, $q_2=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ kg$

$\dfrac{F_e}{F_g}=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{Gm_1m_2}$

$\dfrac{F_e}{F_g}=\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times (1.6\times 10^{-19})^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 1.67\times 10^{-27}}$

$\dfrac{F_e}{F_g}=2.27\times 10^{39}$

So, the ratio of electric force to the gravitational force is $2.27\times 10^{39}$ . Hence, this is the required solution.
