A space explorer is moving through space far from any planet or star. He notices a large rock, taken as a specimen from an alien

planet, floating around the cabin of the ship. Should he push it gently, or should he kick it toward the storage compartment? Explain.

He should push it gently.
This is because the forces of resistance this situation are minimal, so the rock will not slow as it would on Earth. Kicking the rock may result in it travelling too fast and hitting something else, causing damage. Moreover, the rock could start rebounding off of surfaces and create havoc.

An electronic balance shows the mass of a sample of sodium chloride to be 29.732 g. what is the uncertainty of the measurement
OLEGan [10]

The uncertainty of the measurement is 0.001 gm.

The uncertainty in the measurement of a physical quantity is given as how precisely we can measure that, in this case as we can see that the mass of the sodium chloride is precisely given as 29.732 gm, this means the electronic scale is precise to 0.001 gm and round of the values after that which means there is a uncertainty of 0.001 gm.

A 6.0 kg box slides down an inclined plane that makes an angle of 39° with the horizontal. If the coefficient of kinetic frictio
Blababa [14]

Answer:

(B) 1.6 m/s^2

Explanation:

The equation of the forces acting on the box in the direction parallel to the slope is:

mg sin \theta - \mu N = ma (1)

where

mg sin \theta is the component of the weight parallel to the slope, with m = 6.0 kg being the mass of the box, g = 9.8 m/s^2 being the acceleration of gravity, \theta=39^{\circ} being the angle of the incline

\mu N is the frictional force, with \mu = 0.6 being the coefficient of kinetic friction, N being the normal reaction of the plane

a is the acceleration

The equation of the force along the direction perpendicular to the slope is

N-mg cos \theta =0

where mg cos \theta is the component of the weight in the direction perpendicular to the slope. Solving for N,

N=mg cos \theta

Substituting into (1), solving for a, we find the acceleration:

a=gsin \theta- \mu g cos \theta=(9.8)(sin 39^{\circ})-(0.6)(9.8)(cos 39^{\circ})=1.6 m/s^2

How are the current moving in the simulation of battery
REY [17]

Answer:When the battery is connected to a circuit, electrons produced by the chemical reaction at the anode flow through the circuit to the cathode. ... Batteries put out direct current, as opposed to alternating current, which is what comes out of a wall socket. With direct current, the charge flows only in one direction.

HELP!!! What role might electrostatic force play in spider dispersal, according to a recent study?
Marat540 [252]

The positively charged atmosphere attracts negatively charged spider silk, might electrostatic force play in spider dispersal, according to a recent study.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

The positive charge present in upper of the atmosphere and the negative charge on planet’s surface. During cloudless skies days, the air possesses a voltage of nearly around 100 volts for each and every meter from above the ground.

Ballooning spiders process within this planetary electric field. When their silk relieve their bodies then it picks up a negative charge. This oppose the similar negative charges on the surfaces on which the spiders settles and create sufficient force to lift them into the air. And spiders can hike those forces by climbing onto blades of grass,twigs, or leaves.
