We don't know.  It could be material that just couldn't condense
into a planet in that region. 

(In fact, the way the planets are arranged, it turns out that the
average distance from the sun to the center of the asteroid belt
is exactly where we would expect to find a planet.)

If the asteroids are actually material that failed to condense into a
planet, then the huge gravity of Jupiter might have been responsible
for keeping the material disturbed.

What is the purpose of using significant figures? How does it relate to accuracy, precision, resolution, and uncertainty?
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

#see solution for details

Explanation:

-Uncertainty refers to an estimate of the amount by which a result may differ from this value,

-Precision refers to how closely repeated measurements agree with each other.

-Accuracy refers to how closely a measured value agrees with the correct value.

-The number of significant figures is the number of digits believed to be correct by the person doing the measuring. Therefore, choosing the correct number of significant figures reduces the deviation from the point of accuracy/uncertainty or precision and thereby reducing margin of error in the ensuing calculations.

The three forces shown act on a particle. what is the direction of the resultant of these three forces?
melisa1 [442]
Missing figure: http://d2vlcm61l7u1fs.cloudfront.net/media/f5d/f5d9d0bc-e05f-4cd8-9277-da7cdda3aebf/phpJK1JgJ.png

Solution:
We need to find the magnitude of the resultant on both x- and y-axis.

x-axis) The resultant on the x-axis is
F_x = 65 N\cdot cos 30^{\circ} - 30 N - 20 N\cdot sin 20^{\circ} = 19.45 N
in the positive direction.

y-axis) The resultant on the y-axis is
F_y = 65 N \cdot sin 30^{\circ} - 20 N \cdot cos 20^{\circ} = 13.70 N
in the positive direction.

Both Fx and Fy are positive, so the resultant is in the first quadrant. We can find the angle and so the direction using
\tan \alpha =  \frac{F_y}{F_x} = \frac{13.70 N}{19.45 N}=0.7
from which we find 
\alpha=35^{\circ}

A parallel plate capacitor can store

A parallel plate capacitor can store electric charge and
electrical energy, and if the plates are far enough apart,
you can store your lunch in there too.

The base of a right prism is a rhombus with diagonals of 6 and 8. If the altitude of the prism is 12, what is the total surface
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

total surface area is 432

Explanation:

Given data

base  = 6

diagonals = 8

altitude = 12

to find out

total surface area

solution

we know total surface area of prism is

total surface area = lateral surface area + 2base area  ..............1

so

first we calculate base perimeter i.e = 2 length + 2 width

so perimeter = 2(8) + 2(6) = 25

and area  = length * width = 8*6 = 48

so lateral surface area is perimeter * height i.e

lateral surface area = 28* 12

lateral surface area = 336

put this value in equation 1 we get

total surface area = lateral surface area + 2base area

total surface area = 336 + 2(48)

total surface area is 432
