A slump is a form of mass wasting that occurs when a coherent mass of loosely consolidated materials or rock layers moves a shor

t distance down a slope. Movement is characterized by sliding along a concave-upward or planar surface.

Suppose it takes a constant force a time of 6.0 seconds to slow a 2500 kg truck
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

3.3\cdot 10^3\:\mathrm{N}

Explanation:

Impulse on an object is given by \mathrm{[impulse]}=F\Delta t.

However, it's also given as change in momentum (impulse-momentum theorem).

Therefore, we can set the change in momentum equal to the former formula for impulse:

\Delta p=F\Delta t.

Momentum is given by p=mv. Because the truck's mass is maintained, only it's velocity is changing. Since the truck is being slowed from 26.0 m/s to 18.0 m/s, it's change in velocity is 8.0 m/s. Therefore, it's change in momentum is:

p=2500\cdot 8.0=20,000\:\mathrm{kg\cdot m/s}.

Now we plug in our values and solve:

\Delta p=F\Delta t,\\F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t},\\F=\frac{20,000}{6}=\fbox{$3.3\cdot 10^3\:\mathrm{N}$}(two significant figures).

Even at such low fractions of the speed of light these stars are moving quite quickly (thousands of kilometers a second) compare
yulyashka [42]
According to Doppler Effect, an observer at rest will perceive a shift in the wavelength or frequency of the radiation emitted by a source in movement.This shift is given by the formula:
\frac{ \lambda - \lambda_{0} }{ \lambda_{0} } = \frac{-v}{c}

where:
\lambda = observed wavelength
\lambda_{0} = wavelength at rest
v = speed of source (positive if towards the observer, negative if away from the observer)
c = speed of light

Therefore, we can solve for the observed wavelength:
\lambda = \lambda_{0} (\frac{-v}{c}) + \lambda_{0} \\ \lambda = \lambda_{0} (1 - \frac{v}{c})

Substituting the given data:
\lambda = 656.46 (1 - \frac{300}{299792})
= 655.80 nm

Hence, the observed wavelength of the line would be 655.80 nm. Note that this value is smaller than the one at rest, which means that we have a blue-shift, as expected for an approaching source.

Which of ONE of the following four elements has the most metallic properties?
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

12 (Magnesium- Mg)

Explanation:

Looking at the four numbers, we have:

Magnesium, Silicon, Sulfur, and Chlorine.

We can eliminate two of the answers immediately just by looking at the periodic table.

Sulfur and Chlorine are on the nonmetal side of the periodic table. So that's <em>definitely</em> not it. That leaves Magnesium and Silicon.

Silicon is a Metalloid. Magnesium is an Alkaline earth Metal.

Metaloids are elements that have a mix of both<em> metal</em> and<em> nonmetal </em>properties (luster, how it feels, etc.). Since it's a MIX and Magnesium is just straight METAL-

We can say Magnesium has the most metallic properties.

hope this helps!!

Charge q is 1 unit of distance away from the source charge S. Charge p is two times further away. The force exerted between S an
insens350 [35]

Answer : The correct option is, (d) 4 times

Solution :

According to the Coulomb's law, the electrostatic force of attraction or repulsion between two charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the the charges.

Formula used :

F=k_e\frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

where,

F = electrostatic force of attraction or repulsion

k_e = Coulomb's constant

q_1 and q_2 are the charges

r = distance between two charges

First we have to calculate the force exerted between S and q when the distance between the charge is 1 unit and let us assumed that the charge be 'q'

F_{sq}=k_e\frac{qq}{1^2}=k_e\times q^2       ..........(1)

Now we have to calculate the force exerted between S and p when the distance between the charge is 2 unit at the same charge.

F_{sp}=k_e\frac{qq}{2^2}=k_e\frac{q^2}{4}     ...........(2)

Equation equation 1 and 2, we get

\frac{F_{sq}}{F_{sp}}=\frac{1}{4}

F_{sq}=4\times F_{sp}

Therefore, the force exerted between S and q is 4 times the force exerted between S and p.

Why is thermal expansion an important consideration for engineering?
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Thermal expansion is where materials expand while being heated, causing them to take up more space. Some materials expand more than others. But this all happens due to the motion of tiny little molecules. Temperature is the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a substance.

Thermal expansion is an important consideration for engineering because different materials exhibit changes in size when exposed to heat. Thus, affecting length, width, surface area, volume, shape etc
