Answer:

$g_{moon}=1.67 [m/s^{2} ]$

Explanation:

The weight of some mass is defined as the product of mass by gravitational acceleration. In this way using the following formula we can find the weight.

$w =m*g\\$

where:

w = weight [N]

m = mass = 0.06 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 10 [N/kg]

Therefore:

$w=0.06*10\\w=0.6[N]$

By Hooke's law we know that the force in a spring can be calculated by means of the following expression.

$F=W\\F = k*x$

where:

k = spring constant [N/m]

x = deformed distance = 6 [cm] = 0.06 [m]

We can find the spring constant.

$k= F/x\\k=0.6/0.06\\k=10 [N/m]$

Since we use the same spring on the moon and the same mass, the constant of the spring does not change, the same goes for the mass.

$F_{moon}=k*0.01\\F = 10*0.01\\F=0.1[N]$

Since this force is equal to the weight, we can now determine the gravitational acceleration.

$F=m*g_{moon}\\g=F/m\\g = 0.1/0.06\\g_{moon} = 1.67[m/s^{2} ]$

A six pack of your favorite beverage (12 fl. oz. cans, assumed to have the same characteristics as water) is placed in a cooler

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

$Q = 169 BTU$

Explanation:

As we know that volume is given as

$V = 12 Fl oz$

so it is given in liter as

$V = 12 fl oz = 0.355 Ltr$

now we have six pack of such volume

so total volume is given as

$V = 6\times 0.355 Ltr$

$V = 2.13 ltr$

so its mass is given as

$m = 2.13 kg$

now the change in temperature is given as

$\Delta T = 70 - 34 = 36 ^oF$

$\Delta T = 20^oC$

now the heat given to the liquid is given as

$Q = ms\Delta T$

$Q = 2.13(4186)(20)$

$Q = 1.78 \times 10^5 J$

$Q = 169 BTU$

Coulomb’s law and static point charge ensembles (15 points). A test charge of 2C is located at point (3, 3, 5) in Cartesian coor

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

a) $F_{r}= -583.72MN i + 183.47MN j + 6.05GN k$

b) $E=3.04 \frac{GN}{C}$

Step-by-step explanation.

In order to solve this problem, we mus start by plotting the given points and charges. That will help us visualize the problem better and determine the direction of the forces (see attached picture).

Once we drew the points, we can start calculating the forces:

$r_{AP}^{2}=(3-0)^{2}+(3-0)^{2}+(5+0)^{2}$

which yields:

$r_{AP}^{2}= 43 m^{2}$

(I will assume the positions are in meters)

Next, we can make use of the force formula:

$F=k_{e}\frac{q_{1}q_{2}}{r^{2}}$

so we substitute the values:

$F_{AP}=(8.99x10^{9})\frac{(1C)(2C)}{43m^{2}}$

which yields:

$F_{AP}=418.14 MN$

Now we can find its components:

$F_{APx}=418.14 MN*\frac{3}{\sqrt{43}}i$

$F_{APx}=191.30 MNi$

$F_{APy}=418.14 MN*\frac{3}{\sqrt{43}}j$

$F_{APy}=191.30MN j$

$F_{APz}=418.14 MN*\frac{5}{\sqrt{43}}k$

$F_{APz}=318.83 MN k$

And we can now write them together for the first force, so we get:

$F_{AP}=(191.30i+191.30j+318.83k)MN$

We continue with the next force. The procedure is the same so we get:

$r_{BP}^{2}=(3-1)^{2}+(3-1)^{2}+(5+0)^{2}$

which yields:

$r_{BP}^{2}= 33 m^{2}$

Next, we can make use of the force formula:

$F_{BP}=(8.99x10^{9})\frac{(4C)(2C)}{33m^{2}}$

which yields:

$F_{BP}=2.18 GN$

Now we can find its components:

$F_{BPx}=2.18 GN*\frac{2}{\sqrt{33}}i$

$F_{BPx}=758.98 MNi$

$F_{BPy}=2.18 GN*\frac{2}{\sqrt{33}}j$

$F_{BPy}=758.98MN j$

$F_{BPz}=2.18 GN*\frac{5}{\sqrt{33}}k$

$F_{BPz}=1.897 GN k$

And we can now write them together for the second, so we get:

$F_{BP}=(758.98i + 758.98j + 1897k)MN$

We continue with the next force. The procedure is the same so we get:

$r_{CP}^{2}=(3-5)^{2}+(3-4)^{2}+(5-0)^{2}$

which yields:

$r_{CP}^{2}= 30 m^{2}$

Next, we can make use of the force formula:

$F_{CP}=(8.99x10^{9})\frac{(7C)(2C)}{30m^{2}}$

which yields:

$F_{CP}=4.20 GN$

Now we can find its components:

$F_{CPx}=4.20 GN*\frac{-2}{\sqrt{30}}i$

$F_{CPx}=-1.534 GNi$

$F_{CPy}=4.20 GN*\frac{2}{\sqrt{30}}j$

$F_{CPy}=-766.81 MN j$

$F_{CPz}=4.20 GN*\frac{5}{\sqrt{30}}k$

$F_{CPz}=3.83 GN k$

And we can now write them together for the third force, so we get:

$F_{CP}=(-1.534i - 0.76681j +3.83k)GN$

So in order to find the resultant force, we need to add the forces together:

$F_{r}=F_{AP}+F_{BP}+F_{CP}$

so we get:

$F_{r}=(191.30i+191.30j+318.83k)MN + (758.98i + 758.98j + 1897k)MN + (-1.534i - 0.76681j +3.83k)GN$

So when adding the problem together we get that:

$F_{r}=(-0.583.72i + 0.18347j +6.05k)GN$

which is the answer to part a), now let's take a look at part b).

Basically, we need to find the magnitude of the force and divide it into the test charge, so we get:

$F_{r}=\sqrt{(-0.583.72)^{2} + (0.18347)^{2} +(6.05)^{2}}$

which yields:

$F_{r}=6.08 GN$

and now we take the formula for the electric field which is:

$E=\frac{F_{r}}{q}$

so we go ahead and substitute:

$E=\frac{6.08GN}{2C}$

$E=3.04\frac{GN}{C}$

Which term describes the ability to process many things simultaneously?

stellarik [79]

Answer:

Parallel processing

Explanation:

It is a parallel processing because it involves the brain processing many part of problem simultaneously.

The brain natural mode of information involves performing many task .

It is also ability of the brain to simultaneously process incoming stimuli or signals of different quality. It is a part of brain's vision and divide what is seen into four major parts which are color, motion, shape, and depth.

Number of protons and electrons and atomic mass for a given element

faltersainse [42]

Explanation:

You can simply subtract the atomic number from the mass number in order to find the number of neutrons. If the atom is neutral, the number of electrons will be equal to the number of protons.

Remember!

1. Your mass number is the total number of neutrons and protons within the atom.

2. Your atomic number is the amount of protons within the atom.

3. For neutral atoms, the electron number is the same as the atomic number.
