Answer : Meteor shower

Explanation : When earth runs into the dust trail left behind by a comet that is orbiting the Sun , Earth experiences a meteor shower.

It happen when the earth passes through the optical path of a comet. The comet lift a lot of dust behind and earth lift through the dust.

The dust particles hit the atmosphere, hence, meteor form.

The charge on any negatively charged oil droplet is always a whole-number multiple of the fundamental charge of a single electro

shusha [124]

Answer:

$1.6\times 10^{-18} C$

Explanation:

The fundamental charge of a single electron is $1.6\times 10^{-19} C$ .

If there are 10 excess electrons, the net charge that would be measured should be 10 times the fundamental charge of a single electron:

$Q=nq_e\\Q= 10\times 1.6\times 10^{-19} C\\Q= 1.6 \times 10^{-18} C$

What is the length of a spring that has 450J of potential energy and a spring constant of 650N/m?

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

Δx = 1.2 m

Explanation:

The CHANGE of spring length) (Δx) can be found using PS = ½kΔx²

Δx = √(2PS/k) = √(2(450)/650) = 1.17669... ≈ 1.2 m

The actual length of the spring is unknown as it varies with material type, construction method, extension or compression, and other variables we have no clue about.

A go cart with a mass of 60 kg is moving at a rate of 10 m/s. How much Kinetic Energy does the go cart have?

maria [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object can be found by using the formula

$k = \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2} \\$

m is the mass in kg

v is the velocity in m/s

From the question

m = 60 kg

v = 10 m/s

We have

$k = \frac{1}{2} \times 60 \times {10}^{2} \\ = 30 \times 100 \\ = 3000$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you
