Hi! The answer is C

As west is defined as negative, the trucks velocity is positive, since its travelling east. But its speed (absolute value of velocity) is decreasing, that means that the acceleration is negative.

A stone is dropped into a river from a bridge 41.7 m above the water. Another stone is thrown vertically down 1.80 s after the f
hram777 [196]

Answer:

31.75 m/s

Explanation:

h = 41.7 m

Let the initial velocity of the second stone is u

Let the time taken to reach to the bottom by the first stone is t then the time taken by the second stone to reach the ground is t - 1.8.

For first stone:

Use second equation of motion

h=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

Here, u = 0, g = 9.8 m/s^2 and t be the time and h = 41.7

So, 41.7= 0 + 0.5 x 9.8 x t^2

41.7 = 4.9 t^2

t = 2.92 s ..... (1)

For second stone:

Use second equation of motion

h=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

Here, g = 9.8 m/s^2 and time taken is t - 1.8 = 2.92 - 1.8 = 1.12 s, h = 41.7 m and u be the initial velocity

h=u\left ( t-1.8 \right )+4.9\left ( t-1.8 \right )^2    .... (2)

By equation the equation (1) and (2), we get

41.7=1.12 u +4.9 \times 1.12^{2}

u = 31.75 m/s

Explain what a concentration gradient is and what it means for a molecule to diffuse down its
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Diffusing the gradient ensures that most of the molecules in high concentration zone will wind up in the previously low concentration by the spontaneous movement of small molecules.

Explanation:

A gradient of concentration is the difference between in concentration of one place / area substance to different area. Having a molecule flow down its concentration gradient means moving the molecules from hypotonic areas to the concentration hypertonic areas

Diffusing the gradient ensures that most of the molecules in high concentration zone will wind up in the previously low concentration by the spontaneous movement of small molecules.

A uniformly charged ring of radius 10.0 cm has a total charge of 75.0 mC. Find the electric field on the axis of the ring at (a)
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

(a) 6650246.305 N/C

(b) 24150268.34 N/C

(c) 6408227.848 N/C

(d) 665024.6305 N/C

Explanation:

Given:

Radius of the ring (r) = 10.0 cm = 0.10 m           [1 cm = 0.01 m]

Total charge of the ring (Q) = 75.0 μC = 75\times 10^{-6}\ \mu C    [1 μC = 10⁻⁶ C]

Electric field on the axis of the ring of radius 'r' at a distance of 'x' from the center of the ring is given as:

E_x=\dfrac{kQx}{(x^2+r^2)^\frac{3}{2}}

Plug in the given values for each point and solve.

(a)

Given:

Q=75\times 10^{-6}\ \mu C, r=0.01\ m, a=1.00\ cm=0.01\ m,k=9\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2

Electric field is given as:

E_x=\dfrac{(9\times 10^{9})(75\times 10^{-6})(0.01)}{((0.01)^2+(0.1)^2)^\frac{3}{2}}\\\\E_x=\dfrac{6750}{1.015\times 10^{-3}}\\\\E_x=6650246. 305\ N/C

(b)

Given:

Q=75\times 10^{-6}\ \mu C, r=0.01\ m, a=5.00\ cm=0.05\ m,k=9\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2

Electric field is given as:

E_x=\dfrac{(9\times 10^{9})(75\times 10^{-6})(0.05)}{((0.05)^2+(0.1)^2)^\frac{3}{2}}\\\\E_x=\dfrac{33750}{1.3975\times 10^{-3}}\\\\E_x=24150268.34\ N/C

(c)

Given:

Q=75\times 10^{-6}\ \mu C, r=0.01\ m, a=30.0\ cm=0.30\ m,k=9\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2

Electric field is given as:

E_x=\dfrac{(9\times 10^{9})(75\times 10^{-6})(0.30)}{((0.30)^2+(0.1)^2)^\frac{3}{2}}\\\\E_x=\dfrac{202500}{0.0316}\\\\E_x=6408227.848\ N/C

(d)

Given:

Q=75\times 10^{-6}\ \mu C, r=0.01\ m, a=100\ cm=1\ m,k=9\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2

Electric field is given as:

E_x=\dfrac{(9\times 10^{9})(75\times 10^{-6})(1)}{((1)^2+(0.1)^2)^\frac{3}{2}}\\\\E_x=\dfrac{675000}{1.015}\\\\E_x=665024.6305\ N/C
