<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

a group of protons and neutrons that are surrounded by electrons

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

<em><u>An atom is the smallest particle of an element that can take part in a chemical reaction.</u></em> Atoms of the same element are similar, while different elements have different atoms.
<em><u>Atom of an element is made up of sub atomic particles, namely; protons, neutrons, and electrons. The nucleus of the atoms contains the protons and the neutrons, while the energy shells surrounding the nucleus contains the electrons.</u></em>
The protons are positively charged , while the neutrons have no charge, which makes the nucleus positively charged. The electrons are negatively charged.

The correct answer is going to be <span>C, because in the nucleus of an atom there are protons and electrons; which can't move, and are surrounded by electrons on the electrical cloud</span>

What is the net torque on the square plate, with sides 0.2 m, from each of the three forces? F1=18 N, F2=26 N, and F3=14 N. Use

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

The net torque on the square plate is 2.72 N-m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Side = 0.2 m

Force $F_{1}=18\ N$

Force $F_{2}=26\ N$

Force $F_{3}=14\ N$

We need to calculate the torque due to force F₁

Using formula of torque

$\tau_{1}=-F_{1}d_{1}$

$\tau_{1}=-F_{1}\times\dfrac{a}{2}$

Put the value into the formula

$\tau_{1}=-18\times\dfrac{0.2}{2}$

$\tau_{1}=-1.8\ N-m$

We need to calculate the torque due to force F₂

Using formula of torque

$\tau_{2}=F_{2}d_{2}$

$\tau_{2}=F_{2}\times\dfrac{a}{2}$

Put the value into the formula

$\tau_{2}=26\times\dfrac{0.2}{2}$

$\tau_{2}=2.6\ N-m$

We need to calculate the torque due to force F₃

Using formula of torque

$\tau_{3}=F_{3}d_{3}$

$\tau_{3}=(F_{3}\sin45+F_{3}\cos45)\times\dfrac{a}{2}$

Put the value into the formula

$\tau_{3}=0.1(14\sin45+14\cos45)$

$\tau_{3}=1.92\ N-m$

We need to calculate the net torque on the square plate

$\tau=\tau_{1}+\tau_{2}+\tau_{3}$

$\tau=-1.8+2.6+1.92$

$\tau=2.72\ N-m$

Hence, The net torque on the square plate is 2.72 N-m.

Assuming a vertical trajectory with no drag, derive the applicable form of the rocket equation for this application

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

The vertical trajectory is governed by Ordinary Differential Equation.

Time derivatives of each state variables.

d(d)/dt = v, d(m)/dt = -d(m-fuel)/dt, d(v)/dt = F/m.

Where V is velocity positive upwards, t is time, m is mass, m-fuel is fuel mass, F is Total force, positive upwards.

Therefore,

F = -mg - D + T, If V is positive and

F = -mg + D - T, If T is negative.

D is drag and the questions gave it as zero.

Explanation:

The two sign cases in derivative equations above are required because F is defined positive up, so the drag D and thrust T can subtract or add to F depending in the sign of V . In contrast, the gravity force contribution mg is always negative. In general, F will be some function of time, and may also depend on the characteristics of the particular rocket. For example, the T component of F will become zero after all the fuel is expended, after which point the rocket will be ballistic, with only the gravity force and the aerodynamic drag force being p

N76 [4]

Answer:

Weight

Explanation:

Weight is the downward pull on an object due to gravity.

For example, the moon has less gravity than Earth so we would weigh less on the moon. Our Mass and volume always stay the same but our weight could change.

What energy transformations take place when you eat a taco and then go for a jog

sesenic [268]

Answer:

Chemical to kinetic and thermal.

Explanation:

You would eat the food (chemical) than you would jog and move around (kinetic). While running your body would also give off heat (thermal).Than your body would sweat to cool itself down.
