Answer:

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law, every action has an equal and opposite reaction

so it tells us that the force exerted by the earth on the spacecraft is equal to the force exerted by the spacecraft on the earth. But we do not see the earth moving towards the spacecraft because the inertia of the spacecraft is very less than the inertia of the earth.

Suppose you are drinking root beer from a conical paper cup. The cup has a diameter of 10 centimeters and a depth of 13 centimet

sveta [45]

Answer:

The level of the root beer is dropping at a rate of 0.08603 cm/s.

Explanation:

The volume of the cone is :

$V=\frac {1}{3}\times \pi\times r^2\times h$

Where, V is the volume of the cone

r is the radius of the cone

h is the height of the cone

The ratio of the radius and the height remains constant in overall the cone.

Thus, given that, r = d / 2 = 10 / 2 cm = 5 cm

h = 13 cm

r / h = 5 / 13

r = {5 / 13} h

$V=\frac {1}{3}\times \frac {22}{7}\times ({{{\frac {5}{13}\times h}}})^2\times h$

$V=\frac {550}{3549}\times h^3$

Also differentiating the expression of volume w.r.t. time as:

$\frac {dV}{dt}=\frac {550}{3549}\times 3\times h^2\times \frac {dh}{dt}$

Given: $\frac {dV}{dt}$ = -4 cm³/sec (negative sign to show leaving)

h = 10 cm

So,

$-4=\frac{550}{3549}\times 3\times {10}^2\times \frac {dh}{dt}$

$\frac{55000}{1183}\times \frac {dh}{dt}=-4$

$\frac {dh}{dt}=-0.08603\ cm/s$

An electron enters the gap between the plates of a capacitor at the center of the gap traveling parallel to theplates at 2.0 x 1

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

How far will the electron travel beforehitting a plate is 248.125mm

Explanation:

Applying Gauss' law:

Electric Field E = Charge density/epsilon nought

Where charge density=1.0 x 10^-6C/m2 & epsilon nought= 8.85× 10^-12

Therefore E = 1.0 x 10^-6/8.85× 10^-12

E= 1.13×10^5N/C

Force on electron F=qE

Where q=charge of electron=1.6×10^-19C

Therefore F=1.6×10^-19×1.13×10^5

F=1.808×10^-14N

Acceleration on electron a = Force/Mass

Where Mass of electron = 9.10938356 × 10^-31

Therefore a= 1.808×10^-14 /9.11 × 10-31

a= 1.985×10^16m/s^2

Time spent between plate = Distance/Speed

From the question: Distance=1cm=0.01m and speed = 2×10^6m/s^2

Therefore Time = 0.01/2×10^6

Time =5×10^-9s

How far the electron would travel S =ut+ at^2/2 where u=0

S= 1.985×10^16×(5×10^-9)^2/2

S=24.8125×10^-2m

S=248.125mm

the presence of which magnetic feature best explains why a magnet can act a distance on other magnets or on objects containing c

katen-ka-za [31]

Magnetic fields

Explanation:

The presence of magnetic fields best explains why a magnet can act a distance on other magnets or on objects containing certain metals.

Magnetic fields are lines of forces around a bar magnet.
These lines of forces attracts and repels other magnetic bodies and metallic bodies round it.
Magnetic lines of forces originates at the north pole and enters in the south pole.
Areas around a magnetic body are bounded by force fields.
A magnet has permanent magnetic fields round it.

Explain the value or importance of using the international system of units when describing motion

adoni [48]

<span>It is important to use the SystĂ¨me Internationale (SI) units to describe motion, and other scientific concepts, firstly because the units are the most widely used. Unit choice is largely arbitrary, however, because many scientific units are derived from the base SI units, for example, the Newton is kg m s-2. Thus, secondly, more complex units are based on the bedrock of the SI units.</span>
