When do vernal equinoxes usually occur? autumnal?

1 answer:

7 0

Spring tides occur twice each lunar month all year long without regard to the season. Neap tides, which also occur twice a month, happen when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other. ... The moon appears full when the Earth is between the moon and the sun

Suppose that the process were repeated, except that in step 3 a neutral acrylic rod instead of a finger is used to touch the ele

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

b) True Only if the finger is isolated from ground

c) True. The total charge does not change since the system is isolated

Explanation:

When the electroscope is touched with an acrylic rod, some charges are transferred from the electroscope to the rod, until the charge in both is equal.

In the case it know when the electroscope is touched with a finger, two things can happen.

- The body is isolated from the ground, the efective charge is redistributed between the two bodies. Case similar to insulating rod

- The body is connected to ground, the charge is transferred to the finger and from here to the ground until the total charge is transferred and the Earth and the final charge of the electroscope is zero.

Let's review the final statements

a) False, when part of the load is touched, it passes to the rod, so when it separates it does not return to the initial load

b) True Only if the finger is isolated from ground

c) True. The total load does not change since the system is isolated

d) False. The value of the load changes =, but its sign does not

Blocks A and B are identical metal blocks. Initially block A is neutral, and block B has a net charge of 7.0 nC. Using insulatin

maxonik [38]

Answer:

Block A will have a final charge of 3.5nC.

Explanation:

This is because at the point of contact with Block B, which is electrically positive, the electrons in Block A will be attracted to the excess 'unpaired' protons in block B. Hence, the electrons will flow into Block B causing unpaired protons to remain in Block A.

This process is called Charging by Conduction.

This charging process will continue until the charges are evenly distributed between both objects.

In case you're wondering, "how's all this possible within a few seconds?", remember that electrons travel very fast and so, this process is a rather rapid one.

Which description does the phrase "mechanical advantage" most closely relate to?

yKpoI14uk [10]

the ratio of the force produced by a machine to the force applied to it, used in assessing the performance of a machine. I would say the answer is D, but i'm not sure. :)

Nuclear decay occurs according to first-order kinetics. How long will it take for a sample of radon-218 to decay from 99 grams t

dedylja [7]

It will take 267 milliseconds for a sample of radon-218 to decay from 99 grams to 0. 50 grams.

We know that half life of a first order reaction is given by: $t_{1/2} = 0.693/k$

where k = rate of reaction

Given half life = 35 milliseconds

So from this we get k = 0.0198

Now we know that rate of first order reaction is given by: $kt= 2.303 * log(R'/R)$

where t= time

R'= initial amount = 99 g

R= final amount= 0.50 g

k= rate of reaction = 0.0198

Putting values of these in above equation we get t=267 milliseconds.

i.e. It will take 267 milliseconds for a sample of radon-218 to decay from 99 grams to 0. 50 grams.

1. Is the sequence geometric? If so, identify the common ratio.

frozen [14]

1) yes;2 6*2=12 12*2=24 24*2=48
2)Next Term (or nth term) = ar^n-1

a = first term, i.e. 5
r = common ratio i.e. 3 (as 15/5=3 and 45/15=3 
n = .. 
as you already have 1st , 2nd and 3rd terms
substituting now 
T4= ar^n-1 
= 5*3^4-1 
= 5*3^3 
= 5*27 
T4 = 135
T5= ar^n-1
= 5*3^5-1 
= 5*3^4 
= 5*81 
T5 = 405
