Hello.

The answer is: D. weak nuclear force.

The weak force causes beta decay, a form of radioactivity. It could not be explained by the strong nuclear force, the force that’s responsible for holding the atomic nucleus together, because this force doesn’t affect electrons.

It couldn’t be the electromagnetic force, because this does not affect neutrons, and the force of gravity is far too weak to be responsible.

Have a nice day

A car accelerates from rest at 1.0 m/s2 for 20.0 second along a straight road. It then moves at a constant speed for half an hou
Whitepunk [10]

Total distance = 36500 m

The average velocity = 19.73 m/s

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

vo=initial velocity=0(from rest)

a=acceleration= 1 m/s²

t₁ = 20 s

t₂ = 0.5 hr = 1800 s

t₃= 30 s

Required

Total distance

Solution

State 1 : acceleration

\tt d=vo.t+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\\d=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1\times 20^2\rightarrow vo=0\\\\d=200~m

\tt vt=vo+at\\\\vt=at\rightarrow vo=0\\\\vt=1\times 20\\\\vt=20~m/s

State 2 : constant speed

\tt d=v\times t\\\\d=20\times 1800\\\\d=36000~m

State 3 : deceleration

\tt vt=vo+at\rightarrow vt=0(stop)\\\\vo=-at\\\\20=-a.30~s\\\\a=-\dfrac{2}{3}m/s^2(negative=deceleration)

\tt d=vot+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\\d=20.30-\dfrac{1}{2}.\dfrac{2}{3}.30^2\\\\d=300~m

Total distance : state 1+ state 2+state 3

\tt 200 + 36000 + 300=36500~m

the average velocity = total distance : total time

\tt avg~velocity=\dfrac{36500}{20~s+1800~s+30~s}=19.73~m/s

The moon's surface gravity is one-sixth that of the earth. Calculate the weight on the moon of an object that has a mass of 24 k
ad-work [718]
When we say "<span>The moon's surface gravity is one-sixth that of the earth.",
we mean that the acceleration of gravity on the Moon's surface is 1/6 of
the acceleration of gravity on the Earth's surface.

The acceleration of gravity is (9.8 m/s</span>²) on the Earth's surface, so
<span>it would be (9.8/6 m/s</span>²) on the Moon's surface.
<span>
The weight of any object, right now, is

(object's mass) </span>· (acceleration of gravity where the object is located now) .
<span>
If the object's mass is 24 kg and the object is on the Moon right now,
then its weight is 

(24 kg) </span>· (9.8/6 m/s²)

= (24 · 9.8 / 6) kg-m/s²

= 39.2 Newtons

A one-piece cylinder has a core section protruding from the larger drum and is free to rotate around its central axis. A rope wr
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Magnitude the net torque about its axis of rotation is 2.41 Nm

Solution:

As per the question:

The radius of the wrapped rope around the drum, r = 1.33 m

Force applied to the right side of the drum, F = 4.35 N

The radius of the rope wrapped around the core, r' = 0.51 m

Force on the cylinder in the downward direction, F' = 6.62 N

Now, the magnitude of the net torque is given by:

\tau_{net} = \tau + \tau'

where

\tau = Torque due to Force, F

\tau' = Torque due to Force, F'

tau = F\times r

tau' = F'\times r'

Now,

\tau_{net} = - F\times r + F'\times r'

\tau_{net} = - 4.35\times 1.33 + 6.62\times 0.51 = - 2.41\ Nm

The net torque comes out to be negative, this shows that rotation of cylinder is in the clockwise direction from its stationary position.

Now, the magnitude of the net torque:

|\tau_{net}| = 2.41\ Nm

Which of the following states of matter is always a good conductor of electricity? solid, liquid, gas, or plasma **:/ Thank you!
pogonyaev

Plasma...I believe is always a good conductor of electricity. I was tempted to say a solid, but not all solids are the same in composition and that goes for liquid and gas as well.

Hopefully this helped and good luck.
