Due to continental drift, the North American and European continents are drifting apart at an average speed of about 3 cm per ye

ar. At this speed, how long (in years) will it take for them to drift apart by another 1500 m (a little less than a mile)

Answer:

<em>UP</em>

Explanation:

heat flows from higher level to lower level

( higher concentration to lower concentration )

and since temperature in above block is less than the lower block, the heat will flow from lower block to higher block .

( Up )

lonnie pitches a baseball of mass 0.02kg. The ball arrives at home plate with a speed of 40 m/s and is batted straight back to L

vodomira [7]

Answer:

I=2 kg.m/s

Explanation:

The impulse is defined as the change of momentum:

$I=p_f-p_o\\I=m*v_f-m*v_o\\I=0.02kg*[(-60m/s)-40m/s]\\I=2kg.m/s$

We took the final velocity as negative since it is going on the opposite direction of the intial motion of the ball.

How do odd-shaped ceilings, decorative panels, draperies, and glass windows affect echo and noise?

vesna_86 [32]

I think they decrease echo and reduce noise, they do this by either absorbing vibrations or by scattering the sound so that echoes arrive at different times rather than reverberating as a standing wave. An echo is a reflection of a sound that arrives at the listener with a delay after the direct sound. The delay is usually proportional to the distance of the reflecting surface from the source and the listener.

Answer:

The acceleration would be $a = 0.003* 6 =0.018\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

The objective of this solution is to obtain the acceleration of the particle

Now looking at Newton law which is mathematically represented as

$F = ma$

Where F is the force experience by a particle

m is the mass of the particle

a is the acceleration of the particle

And also this force is equivalent to magnetic force in a magnetic field which is mathematically represented as

$F = qvB$

Where q is the charge of the particle

v is the velocity of the charge

B is the magnetic field the charge is under it influence

Now equating this two formulas

$ma = qvB$

Making a the subject we have

$a = \frac{qvB}{m}$

In the question the direction of the is in the positive x-axis which is $i$ hence the direction would be in the $i$ direction

So substituting $(2.0i +3.0j+4.0k)mT = (2.0i +3.0j+4.0k)*10^{-3}T$ for B

$a = \frac{q}{m} * v (2.0i +3.0j +4.0k)*10^{-3}$

Substituting $3.0 Km /s = 3.0*10^{3}\ m/s$ for v and $-6.0 \muC = -6.0*10^{-6} C$ for q

$a = \frac{-6.0*10^{-6}}{2.0*10^{-3}} * 3.0*10^{3} *(2i+3j+4k) *10^{-3}$

$a = 0.003 * 3i(2i+3j+4k)$

$a = 0.003 *((3*2)i \ \cdot i \ +(3*3) i \ \cdot \ j \ + (3*4)i \ \cdot \ k)$

According to vector multiplication

$i \cdot i = j \cdot j = k\cdot k = 1\\\\and \ i\cdot j = i\cdot k = 0$

So

$a = 0.003* 6 =0.018\ m/s^2$

4. What is the electric field strength 1.4 nm from a charge of 4.7 cC?

pentagon [3]

The electric field strength is $2.16\cdot 10^{26} N/C$

Explanation:

The strength of the electric field produced by a single point charge is given by:

$E=k\frac{q}{r^2}$

where

$k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2}$ is the Coulomb's constant

q is the magnitude of the charge

r is the distance from the charge at which the field strength is calculated

For the charge in the problem, we have:

$q=4.7 cC = 0.047 C$ is the charge

$r=1.4 nm = 1.4\cdot 10^{-9} m$

Therefore, the electric field strength is

$E=(8.99\cdot 10^9)\frac{0.047}{(1.4\cdot 10^{-9})^2}=2.16\cdot 10^{26} N/C$
