Answer:

11.2km

Explanation:

Using Pythagoras theorem

R² = 10² + 5²

R² = 100 + 25

R² = 125

R = √125

R = 11.2km

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

mixer [17]

Speed is the rate of change of distance with time while velocity is the rate of change of displacement with time.
Speed is a scalar quantity while velocity is a vector quantity.
Speed cannot be negative but velocity can be negative.

Hope you could get an idea from here.

What is the function of the Cytoplasm?

ANEK [815]

It is made up of mostly water and salt. Cytoplasm is present within the cell membrane of all cell types and contains all organelles and cell parts.

The cytoplasm is like a bathtub water because it holds a kind of jelly fluid just like a bathtub

eukaryote is an organism with complex cells, or a single cell with a complex structure.

A space station, in the form of a wheel 140 m in diameter, rotates to provide an "artificial gravity" of 3.90 m/s2 for persons w

Zigmanuir [339]

Radial acceleration is given by

$a_{rad}= \frac{v^2}{r}$
where

$v=r \omega$
then

$a_{rad}= \frac{r^2 \omega^2}{r}=r\omega^2$

Now

$70\omega^2=3.90 \frac{m}{s^2} \\ \\ \omega= \sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70} }$

Using the relation

$\omega=2 \pi f$

$2 \pi f= \sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70} }\\ \\ f= \frac{1}{2 \pi}\sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70} }Hz$

Putting into rpm

$\frac{60}{2 \pi}\sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70}} =2.254rpm$

A horizontal uniform meter stick supported at the 50-cm mark has a mass of 0.50 kg hanging from it at the 20-cm mark and a 0.30

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

70 cm

Explanation:

0.5 kg at 20 cm

0.3 kg at 60 cm

x = Distance of the third 0.6 kg mass

Meter stick hanging at 50 cm

Torque about the support point is given by (torque is conserved)

$0.5(50-20)=0.3(60-50)+0.6x\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{0.5(50-20)-0.3(60-50)}{0.6}\\\Rightarrow x=20\ cm$

The position of the third mass of 0.6 kg is at 20+50 = 70 cm

Ignoring the electron spin what is the largest possible energy difference, if the magnetic field is 2.02 tesla?

Nonamiya [84]

Complete Question:

When specially prepared Hydrogen atoms with their electrons in the 6f state are placed into a strong uniform magnetic field, the degenerate energy levels split into several levels. This is the so called normal Zeeman effect.

Ignoring the electron spin what is the largest possible energy difference, if the magnetic field is 2.02 Tesla?

Answer:

ΔE = 1.224 * 10⁻²² J

Explanation:

In the 6f state, the orbital quantum number, L = 3

The magnetic quantum number, $m_{L} = -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3$
