Typically during thunderstorms most lightning strikes carry a negative electric charge; only a few carry a positive charge. Thun

derstorms with unusually high proportions of positive-charge strikes tend to occur in smoky areas near forest fires. The fact that smoke carries positively charged smoke particles into the air above a fire suggests the hypothesis that the extra positive strikes occur because of the presence of such particles in the storm clouds. Which of the following, if discovered to be true, most seriously undermines the hypothesis?
(A) Other kinds of rare lightning also occur with unusually high frequency in the vicinity of forest fires.
(B) The positive-charge strikes that occur near forest fires tend to be no more powerful than positive strikes normally are.
(C) A positive-charge strike is as likely to start a forest fire as a negative charge strike is.
(D) Thunderstorms that occur in drifting clouds of smoke have extra positive-charge strikes weeks after the charge of the smoke particles has dissipated.
(E) The total number of lightning strikes during a thunderstorm is usually within the normal range in the vicinity of a forest fire.

Answer:<em> Option (D) is correct.</em>

Explanation:

Considering the hypothesis elaborated in this comprehension, it's given that areas that tend to lie near forest fires usually have extra positive strikes since smoke carries positively charged particles. In rudimentary term, this states that occurrence of positively charged particles will result in extra positive strikes.

Option (D) states that occurrence of extra positive strikes will be there even weeks after the charge of smoke particles have been dissociated.

Therefore this option, most seriously undermines the hypothesis.

Answer:

So A we cant sadly do because we cant draw. B is going to be kinetic. Thats because static friction means it stays in one place, for kinetic it means moving. So it will be 0.05 as the coefficient of the friction. Sadly, I cannot calculate C. You will have to use trigonemetry but I cannot fit that big an explanation.

Answer to A: the free body diagram would be the ski things inclined with gravity, friction, and  air resistance. I except you know which directions

Answer to B: Kinetic friction is the answer.

Answer to C: Find on own, I cannot write super big explanations - use trigonometry.

a book is sitting still on your desk. are the forces acting on the book balanced or unbalanced? explain.
GrogVix [38]
<span>They are balanced. If the forces were not balanced the book would move*. In this example, the downward force of gravity on the book is counterbalanced by the upthrust of the desk. </span>

A particle is moving with velocity v(t) = t2 _ 9t + 18 with distance, s measured in meters, left or right of zero, and t measure
Alex787 [66]
V = t^2 - 9t + 18

position, s
s = t^3 /3 - 4.5t^2 +18t + C

       t = 0, s = 1 => 1=C => s = t^3/3 -4.5t^2 + 18t + 1

Average velocity: distance / time

   distance: t = 8 => s = 8^3 / 3 - 4.5 (8)^2 + 18(8) + 1 = 27.67 m
   Average velocity = 27.67 / 8 = 3.46 m/s

t = 5 s

     v = t^2 - 9t + 18 = 5^2 - 9(5) + 18 = -2 m/s
     speed = |-2| m/s = 2 m/s
 
Moving right
     V > 0 => t^2 - 9t + 18 > 0
     (t - 6)(t - 3) > 0

     => t > 6 and t > 3 => t > 6 s => Interval (6,8)

    => t < 6 and t <3 => t <3 s => interval (0,3)

    

Going faster and slowing dowm

acceleration, a = v' = 2t - 9
     a > 0 => 2t - 9 > 0 => 2t > 9 => t > 4.5 s
     Then, going faster in the interval (4.5 , 8) and slowing down in (0, 4.5)
