Answer:

The correct answer will be " $-\frac{6C_{6}}{x^{7}}$ ". The further explanation is given below.

Explanation:

The potential energy will be,

⇒ $U(x)= -\frac{C_{6}}{x^6}$

The expression of force will be,

⇒ $F=-\frac{dU(x)}{dx}$

⇒ $=-(C_{6}(-6)x^{-7})$

⇒ $=-\frac{6C_{6}}{x^{7}}$

Force seems to be appealing because the expression has been negative. It therefore means that the force or substance is acting laterally in on itself.

Why do smaller endotherms require more energy per unit of mass than larger endotherms?

Naily [24]

They expend more oxygen. Littler endotherms lose warmth to the earth proportionately speedier than huge endotherms: less warm mass, protecting layers in littler creatures are less successful by dint of being more slender, and more prominent surface region to volume proportion implies snappier radiation of warmth

You are riding in a hot air balloon that, relative to the ground, has a velocity of 6.0 m/s due east. You see a hawk moving dire

charle [14.2K]

Answer:Velocity = 6.325m/s

Directional angle= 18.43°

Explanation:

Using Right angle triangle

Let Velocity of ballon&hawk be VHB represent the height of the triangle.

Let Velocity of balloon angle ground be VBG represent adjacent of the triangle.

Let Velocity of hawk and ground BE VHG represent the hypothesis.

Theta = opp/Adj= VHB/VBG

using pythagorean

VHG= SQRT(VHB^2+VBG^2)

VHG= sqrt(2^2+6^2)

VHG= sqrt(4+36)

VHG= 6.325m/s

Tan theta= 2/6

Tan theta =0.3333

Tan^-1 0.3333=18.43°

One gallon of paint (volume = 3.79 X 10-???? m3) covers an area of 25.0 m2. What i the thickne s of the fresh paint on the wall?

Drupady [299]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Volume of paint is $V=3.79\times 10^{-3}\ m^3$

Area of cover $A=25\ m^2$

Suppose paint to be a rectangular box with thickness t and volume V

therefore we can write as

$V=A\times t$

$t=\frac{V}{A}$

$t=\frac{3.79\times 10^{-3}}{25}$

$t=1.516\times 10^{-3}\ m$

$t=1.516\ mm$

What is the value of x in the equation below 1+2e^x+1=9

GuDViN [60]

<h2>Answer: 1.252</h2>

Explanation:

We are given this equation and we need to find the value of $x$ :

$1+2e^x+1=9$ (1)

Firstly, we have to clear $x$ :

$2e^x=9-1-1$

$2e^x=7$

$e^x=\frac{7}{2}$ (2)

Applying<u> Natural Logarithm</u> on both sides of the equation (2):

$ln(e^x)=ln(\frac{7}{2})$ (3)

$xln(e)=ln(\frac{7}{2})$ (4)

According to the Natural Logarithm rules $xln(e)=x$ , so (4) can be written as:

$x=ln(\frac{7}{2})$ (5)

Finally:

$x=1.252$
