1 answer:

8 0

A dark-colored (igneous rock,) commonly extrusive from volcanic eruptions and composed primarily of the minerals of calcic plagioclase and pyroxene, and sometimes olivine. Basalt is the fine-grained equivalent of gabbro.

Over [174]

Answer:

v=32.9m/s

Explanation:

The acceleration needed to mantain a circular motion of radius r and speed v is given by the equation $a=v^2/r$

This is the centripetal acceleration. The person will feel what is called a centrifugal acceleration, of the same value, because he is not in an inertial frame (thus subject to fictitious forces, product of inertia).

We want to know the speed of his head when it is subject to 12.5 times the value of the acceleration of gravity while moving on a 8.84m radius circle, so we must do:

$v=\sqrt{ar} = \sqrt{12.5gr}=\sqrt{(12.5)(9.8m/s)(8.84m)}=32.9m/s$

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

If an elements atomic mass and number are known you can also determine the number of protons and neutrons it has. You can also determine where it is on the periodic table. For example, if a element had a atomic mass of 10 then it would be higher up on the table then one with a mass of 20. Btw I do apex too.

Answer:

$\Delta U = \frac{Qq}{4\pi\epsilon_0}(\frac{1}{r_2^2}-\frac{1}{r_1^2})$

Explanation:

The electrostatic potential energy is given by the following formula

$U = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}$

Now, we will apply this formula to both cases:

$U_1 = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{Qq}{r_1^2}\\U_2 = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{Qq}{r_2^2}$

So, the change in the potential energy is

$\Delta U = U_2 - U_1 = \frac{Qq}{4\pi\epsilon_0}(\frac{1}{r_2^2}-\frac{1}{r_1^2})$

You move a 75-kg box 35 m. This requires a force of 90 N. how much work is done while moving the box?

Luda [366]

W = F*d.

= 90*35 = 3150J.
