A car drives 16 miles south and then 12 miles west. What is the magnitude of the car’s displacement?

A small drop of water is suspended motionless in air by a uniform electric field that is directed upward and has a magnitude of

Gennadij [26K]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the electric field such as the smelting of the Force and the load (In this case the force is equivalent to the weight). Later we will apply the ratio of the total charge as a function of the multiplication of the number of electrons and their individual charge.

$E = \frac{mg}{q}$

Here,

m = mass

g = Acceleration due to gravity

Rearranging to find the charge,

$q = \frac{mg}{E}$

Replacing,

$q = \frac{(3.37*10^{-9})(9.8)}{11000}$

$q = 3.002*10^{-12}C$

Since the field is acting upwards the charge on the drop should be negative to balance it in air. The equation to find the number of electrons then is

$q = ne$

Here,

n = Number of electrons

e = Charge of each electron

$n = \frac{q}{e}$

Replacing,

$n = \frac{3.002*10^{-12}}{1.6*10^{-19}}$

$n = 2.44*10^7$

Therefore the number of electrons that reside on the drop is $2.44*10^7$

It takes 5.0 seconds for a wave with a wavelength of 2.5 m to travel past your location. What’s the period of the wave. What is

Anna35 [415]

(a) Period of the wave
The period of a wave is the time needed for a complete cycle of the wave to pass through a certain point.
So, if an entire cycle of the wave passes through the given location in 5.0 seconds, this means that the period is equal to 5.0 s: T=5.0 s.

(b) Frequency of the wave
The frequency of a wave is defined as
$f= \frac{1}{T}$
since in our problem the period is $T=5.0 s$ , the frequency is
$f= \frac{1}{5.0 s}=0.2 Hz$

(c) Speed of the wave
The speed of a wave is given by the following relationship between frequency f and wavelength $\lambda$ :
$v=f \lambda = (0.2 Hz)(2.5 m)=0.5 m/s$

Which of the following is not a part of the modern theory of evolution?

telo118 [61]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

D) Evolution proceeds in the direction desired by members of a generation is not the modern theory of evolution.

Evolution can not proceed in the direction as desire by the members of the generation as No matter how hard you and your friends wish that your children will be born with the ability to fly unassisted, the kids will have to use airlines like the rest of us. All the rest of these contribute to evolution

The sum of the kinetic and potential energies of a system of objects is conserved: Group of answer choices only when no external

uysha [10]

The sum of the kinetic and potential energies of a system of objects is conserved only when no external force acts on the objects.

<h3>Conservation of mechanical energy</h3>

The principle of conservation of mechanical energy states that the total mechanical energy of an isolated system (absence of external force) is always constant.

M.A = P.E + K.E

where;

P.E is potential energy

K.E is kinetic energy

Thus, the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of a system of objects is conserved only when no external force acts on the objects.
