A person riding on the roof of a freight train throws a ball forward. (a) If we ignore air drag and relative to the ground, is t

he ball moving faster or slower when the train is moving than when it is standing still? (b) Relative to the freight car, is the ball moving faster or slower when the train is moving than when the train is standing still?

Answer:

Explanation:

A ball is thrown in forward direction by a person who is riding on the roof of the moving train.

-->If you neglected the air drag and relative to the ground, then the velocity of the ball is equal to the sum of the velocities of ball and the train.

-->Hence, the ball is moving faster.

-(b) Relative to the freight car, the ball moves at the same speed irrespective of train

A boy is whirling a stone around his head by means of a string. The string makes one complete revolution every second; and the m
Damm [24]

Answer

given,                                                

Tension of string is F                                                  

velocity is increased and the radius is not changed.      

the string makes two complete revolutions every second

consider the centrifugal force acting on the stone          

  = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}                          

now centrifugal force is balanced by tension

T =\dfrac{mv^2}{r}                                

From the above expression we can clearly see that tension is directly proportional to velocity and inversely proportional to radius.

When radius is not changing velocity is increasing means tension will also increase in the string.

To be effective, an exercise program must be?
ExtremeBDS [4]

To be effective, an exercise program must have an aerobic form, portion for strength enhancement, and a stretching part. These three things are essential because they each target specific improvements in your body. For example, aerobics can help you maintain your body’s fitness or make it better. This usually targets your heart rate and ensures that you burn fat while doing so. Second is strength enhancement; this will make sure that your body becomes better – not just in a feeble state. Lastly is stretching, your muscles are like rubber bands. You cannot end or start your exercise program without stretching simply because they can damage your muscles as well. Aside from this, stretching can stop you from shocking your body into a physical activity, which may cause you to lose consciousness or have undue stress and fatigue.

for the same type of atom with 8 protons, 9 neutrons, and 10 electrons, what type of atom or ion is it​
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

O²⁻

Explanation:

Number of protons  = 8

Number of neutrons  = 9

Number of electrons  = 10

What type of atom or ion is it = ?

Solution:

Protons are the positively charged particle in an atom

Neutrons do not carry any charges

Electrons are negatively charged particles

 For this atom, the number of protons helps to identify what specie it is; so this is an oxygen atom.

Now,

     Charge  = Number of protons  - Number of electrons

      Charge  =  8  - 10  = -2

The charge on the atom is -2 and so it is an oxygen ion with -2 charge

 The ion is O²⁻

Suppose I have a vector that is 7 units long and that makes an angle of +30 degrees from the positive x-axis. I want to add to t
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

sum of these two vectors is 6.06i+3.5j-3.5i+6.06j = 2.56i+9.56j

Explanation:

We have given first vector which has length of 7 units and makes an angle of 30° with positive x-axis

So x component of the vector =7cos30^{\circ}=7\times 0.866=6.06

y component of the vector =7sin30^{\circ}=7\times 0.5=3.5

So vector will be 6.06i+3.5j

Now other vector of length of 7 units and makes an angle of 120° with positive x-axis

So x component of vector  =7cos120^{\circ}=7\times -0.5=-3.5i

y component of the vector =7sin120^{\circ}=7\times 0.866=6.06j

Now sum of these two vectors is 6.06i+3.5j-3.5i+6.06j = 2.56i+9.56j

Determine the number of atoms per unit cell in a (a) face-centered cubic, (b) body- centered cubic, and (c) diamond lattice.
fredd [130]

Answer:

a) 4

b) 2

c) 8

Explanation:

In a cubic lattice, each atom of the vertex is shared among other 8 unit cells, so the atoms on the vertex contribute to 1/8 to a given unit cell.

a) Ina face-centered cubic we have 8 atoms on the vertex and one in each face, which is shared with another unit cell, so it contribute to 1/2

Therefore, the total atoms are:

8*(1/8) + 6*(1/2) = 4

b) In the body centered cubic structure, the centered atom is not shared with another cell, therefore it contribute to 1 to the given cell:

The number of atoms per unit cel is:

8*(1/8) + 1 = 2

c) The diamond lattice is similar to the face-centered cubic lattice but it contains two identical atoms per lattice point.

Therefore it must contain twice atoms than the face-centered cubic lattice:

that is, it has 8 atoms per unit cell
