Answer:

-0.28 m/s²

Explanation:

acceleration, a = (v - u)/t where u = initial velocity = 30 km/hr = 30 × 1000/3600 = 8.33 m/s and v = final velocity = 20 km/hr = 20 × 1000/3600 = 5.56 m/s and t = time = 10 s.

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

a = (v - u)/t

= (5.56 m/s - 8.33 m/s)/10 s

= -2.77 m/s ÷ 10 s

= -0.277 m/s²

≅ -0.28 m/s²

A shoe and a shirt are released from the same height. They take different amounts of time to fall to the ground. How can this be

Law Incorporation [45]

The best explanation for the difference in time is: A. The difference in weight doesn't affect the time, but they are affected differently by air resistance.

<h3>What is weight?</h3>

Weight can be defined as the force acting on an object or a physical body due to the effect of gravity. Also, the weight of an object (body) is typically measured in Newton.

<h3>The factors that affect weight.</h3>

Some of the factors that affect the weight that is possessed by an object or a physical body include the following:

Mass

Distance

Air resistance

In conclusion, the weight possessed by the shoe and shirt has no effect on time but would be affected differently by air resistance.

Why was the Roman empire able to prosper

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

The mild climate enabled Romans to grow wheat, grapes, and olives. This abundance o food supported the people and allowed Rome to prosper. While the climate made year-long agriculture possible, Rome also had the advantage to be near water. The Tiber River helped the agricultural system to prosper

butalik [34]

Answer:

(a) F = 0.00322i - 0.00793j with magnitude |F| = 0.00856N

(b) E = -42846.7 N/C

Explanation:

The diagram attached below explains some parameters.

Parameters given:

Charge Q1 = +50 nC at point (0, 0)

Charge Q2 = -50 nC at point (0.1, 0)

Charge Q3 = +150 nC at point (0.1, 0.08)

* The distances are in meters.

(a) The total electric force on the charge Q3 due to Q1 and Q2 is the vector sum of the forces due to Q1 and Q2. Mathematically,

F = F1 + F2

FORCE DUE TO Q1 i.e. F(Q1, Q3)

We have to find the x and y components.

From the diagram, we can find θ using SOHCAHTOA:

θ = tan⁻¹ (0.08/0.1)

θ = 38.66⁰

The distance between Q1 and Q3 can be found using Pythagoras theorem:

x² = 0.08² + 0.1²

x = 0.128 m

F1 = Fx(Q1, Q3)i + Fy(Q1, Q3)j

F1 = iF(Q1, Q3)cosθ + jF(Q1, Q3)sinθ

F(Q1, Q3) = (k * Q1 * Q3) / r²

k = Coulombs constant

F(Q1, Q3) = (9 * 10⁹ * 50 * 10⁻⁹ * 150 * 10⁻⁹) /(0.128)²

F(Q1, Q3) = 0.00412N

F1 = i0.00412 * cos38.66 + j0. 00412 * sin38.66

F1 = 0.00322i + 0.00257j N

FORCE DUE TO Q2 i.e. F(Q2, Q3)

We have to find the x and y components.

F2 = Fx(Q2, Q3)i + Fy(Q2, Q3)j

F2 = iF(Q2, Q3)cos90 + jF(Q2, Q3)cos0

F(Q2, Q3) = (k * Q2 * Q3) / r²

F(Q2, Q3) = (9 * 10⁹ * -50 * 10⁻⁹ * 150 * 10⁻⁹) /(0.08)²

F(Q2, Q3) = -0.0105N

F2 = -i0.0105 * cos90 - j0.0105 * cos0

F2 = - 0.0105j N

Hence, the total force will be

F = F1 + F2

F = 0.00322i + 0.00257j - 0.0105j

F = 0.00322i - 0.00793j N

The magnitude of this force is:

|F| = √(0.00322² + (-0.00793²)

|F| = 0.00856N

(b) The electric field at charge Q3 is the sum of the electric fields due to Q1 and Q2:

E = E1 + E2

E1, electric field due to Q1 = kQ1/r²

E1 = (9 * 10⁹ * 50 * 10⁻⁹) / (0.128²)

E1 = 27465.8 N/C

E2, electric field due to Q2 = (9 * 10⁹ * -50 * 10⁻⁹) / (0.08²)

E1 = -70312.5N/C

The total electric field:

E = E1 + E2

E = 27465.8 - 70312.5

E = -42846.7 N/C

Describe the sun. Include its structure (layers), relative size, location, and effects of its magnetic field. Where does the sun

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer: Nuclear fusion.

Explanation: The sun is a medium-sized star, its radius is 695.510 km and its mass is equivalent to that obtained by bringing together about 110 planets equal to Earth (6371 km is its radius).

It has six layers: The core, the radioactive zone, the convective zone, the photosphere, the chromosphere and the corona.

Magnetic field disruptions near active regions can generate strong explosions in the sun such as sun flashes and coronal mass ejections. The degree of complexity of the sun´s magnetic field increases and decreases with the course of each sunspot cycle.

Sir Arthur Eddington was the first to evaluate all the data and dared to conjecture that nuclear fusion, the process that creates heavy elements from the fusion of lighter ones, could be responsible for the great production of the sun´s energy; this process make the sun´s energy was taken for the earth and the planet get back to the sun recycled energy. The sun has a very large and complex magnetic field; the average magnetic field of the sun is approximately 1 Gauss, almost twice as strong as the average magnetic field of the Earth´s surface (approximately 0.5 Gauss). Because the surface of the sun is more than 12.000 times larger than the Earth, the overall influence of the sun´s magnetic field is immensely large.
