KIM [24]3 years ago

5 0

Answer:

1, 2, 4, 5 are correct

Explanation:

1) This is true because In a neutral atom, the number of positive charges (protons) is equal to the number of negative charges (electrons).

2) This is true because the mass of the atom which is made up of the protons and neutrons, is located in the tiny nucleus.

3) This is not true because the positively charged particles in the nucleus are called protons.

4) This is true because electrons move around the nucleus in diffuse areas known as orbitals.

5) This is true because opposite charges attract each other. And electron is a negative charge.

6) This is not true because the radius of the electron cloud is normally 10,000 times larger than the radius of the nucleus.

Answer: Because of Inertia

Explanation: According to Newton first law, that a body in a linear motion will continue to be in motion except an external for act on it

But also, a body in motion will always like to continue in motion and have a reluctance tendency to stop because of inertia.

the crash test dummies' bodies will continue to move forward even though the car stopped because of inertia.

A book on a 2-meter high shelf has a mass of 0.4 kg. What is its potential energy?

poizon [28]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 7.84 \ Joules}}$

Explanation:

The formula for potential energy is:

$PE=m*g*h$

where m is the mass, g is the gravitational acceleration, and h is the height.

The mass of the book is 0.4 kilograms. The gravitational acceleration on Earth is 9.8 m/s². The height of the book is 2 meters.

$m=0.4 \ kg \\g=9.8 \ m/s^2 \\h=2\ m$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$PE=(0.4 \ kg)(9.8 \ m/s^2)(2 \ m)$

Multiply the first two numbers.

0.4 kg*9.8 m/s²= 3.92 kg*m/s²
If we convert the units now, the problem will be much easier later on.
1 kg*m/s² is equal to 1 Newton. So, our answer of 3.92 kg*m/s² is equal to 3.92 N

$PE=(3.92 \ N )(2 \ m)$

Multiply.

3.92 N* 2 m=7.84 N*m
1 Newton meter is equal to 1 Joule (this is why we converted the units).
Our answer is equal to 7.84 Joules.

$PE=7.84 \ J$

Driving on asphalt roads entails very little rolling resistance, so most of the energy of the engine goes to overcoming air resi

Bad White [126]

A) Agreed.
b) Value agreed but units should be W (watts). 

c) Here's one method... 

15 miles = 24140 m 

1 gallon of gasoline contains 1.4×10⁸ J. 

So moving a distance of 24140m requires gasoline containing 1.4×10⁸ J 

Therefore moving a distance of 1m requires gasoline containing 1.4×10⁸/24140 = 5800 J 

Overcoming rolling resitance for 1m requires (useful) work = force x distance = 1000x1 = 1000J 

So 5800J (in the gasoline) provides 1000J (overcoming rolling resistance) of useful work for each metre moved. 

Efficiency = useful work/total energy supplied 
= 1000/5800 
= 0.17 (=17%)

A very small sphere with positive charge 5.00uC is released from rest at a point 1.20cm from a very long line of uniform linear

JulijaS [17]

Let us situate this on the x axis, and let our uniform line of charge be positioned on the interval (−L,0] for some large number L. The voltage V as a function of x on the interval (0,∞) is given by integrating the contributions from each bit of charge. Let the charge density be λ. Thus, for an infinitesimal length element dx′, we have λ=dqdx′.V(x)=1/4πϵ0∫linedq/r=λ/4πϵ0∫−L0dx/x−x′=λ/4πϵ0(ln|x+L|−ln|x|)
