What is most responsible for the uneven heating of the air in the atmosphere?

Phoenix [80]

<span>The answer would be convection currents. Convection happens when atoms with a lot of heat energy in a liquid or gas transfer and get the room of particles with fewer heat energy. Heat energy is transported from hot places to cooler places by convection.</span>

A third point charge q3 is now positioned halfway between q1 and q2. The net force on q2 now has a magnitude of F2,net = 4.444 N

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

The value of third charge is 0.8μC.

Explanation:

Given that.

Magnitude of net force=4.444 N

According to figure,

Suppose, First charge = 2.4 μC

Second charge = 6.2 μC

Distance r₁ = 9.8 cm

Distance r₂ = 2.1 cm

We need to calculate the value of r

Using Pythagorean theorem

$r=\sqrt{(r_{1})^2+(r_{2})^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$r=\sqrt{(9.8)^2+(2.1)^2}$

$r=10.02\ cm$

We need to calculate the force

Using formula of force

$F_{12}=\dfrac{kq_{1}q_{2}}{(r)^2}$

Force F₁₂,

$F_{12}=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times2.4\times10^{-6}\times6.2\times10^{-6}}{(10.02\times10^{-2})^2}$

$F_{12}=13.33\ N$

$F_{21}=-13.33\ N$

Force F₂₃,

$F_{23}=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times6.2\times10^{-6}\times q_{3}}{(10.02)^2}$

We need to calculate the value of third charge

$F_{net}=F_{21}+F_{23}$

$4.444=-13.33+\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times6.2\times10^{-6}\times q_{3}}{(5.01)^2}$

$q_{3}=\dfrac{(4.444+13.33)\times(5.01\times10^{-2})^2}{9\times10^{9}\times6.2\times10^{-6}}$

$q_{3}=7.99\times10^{-7}\ C$

$q_{3}=0.8\times10^{-6}\ C$

Hence, The value of third charge is 0.8μC.

A blue car pulls away from a red stop-light just after it has turned green with a constant acceleration of 0.2 m/s2. A green car

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

After 15 seconds, the green car will catch up with the blue car

Explanation:

Let the time for the green car to catch up with the blue car be T

When the green car catches up to the blue car, the distances covered by each car after time T will be equal. Also, their velocities at that instant will be equal

Distance covered by blue car after time T is given by: s = ut + 0.5 at²

Where u = 0, a = 0.2 m/s², t = T

S = 0.5 × 0.2 × T² = 0.1 T²

Velocity of blue car, v = u+ at

v = 0.2T

Distance covered by green car at T is given as: S = Velocity × time

Where v = 0.2T, t = T - 7.5 (since the blue car started 7.5 seconds earlier)

S = 0.2T (T - 7.5)

S = 0.2 T² - 1.5T

Equating the distance covered by the two cars

0.2T² - 1.5T = 0.1T²

0.1T² - 1.5T = 0

T(0.1T - 1.5) = 0

T = 0 or

T = 1.5/0.1 = 15 secs

Therefore, after 15 seconds, the green car will catch up with the blue car

What is the difference between internal and external force

AnnZ [28]

Answer:External forces are forces caused by external agent outside of the system. Internal forces are forces exchanged by the objects in the system.

Explanation:or our purposes, we will simply say that external forces include the applied force, normal force, tension force, friction force, and air resistance force. And for our purposes, the internal forces include the gravity forces, magnetic force, electrical force, and spring force.HOPE THIS HELPS!!! ^w^
