Identify the areas on the image where the force of repulsion is the least.

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Each magnet has a north pole and a south pole. We know that, from having played with bar magnets in our childhood, that a magnet's north pole will repel another magnet's north pole and attract its south pole.

From this diagram it is easy to see that the two lower bar magnets not only repel each other, but they are quite attracted to each other since their north and south poles are close together.

Therefore the region between the lower two magnets has the least force of repulsion.

A kid on a playground swing makes a complete to-and-fro swing each 2 seconds.

sashaice [31]

Answer:

The frequency of the swing: 1/2 Hertz

The period is: 2 Seconds

Explanation:

The time the kid takes to make a complete to-and-fro swing = 2 seconds

The period, T, is the time it takes to make one complete cycle of an oscillatory motion, therefore, we have;

The frequency, f, is the number of cycles completed each second, therefore, we have;

The time for 1 cycle = 2 seconds

2 seconds = 1 cycle

Dividing both sides by 2 gives;

2/2 seconds = 1/2 cycles

2/2 = 1

In 2/2 = 1 seconds The number of cycles completed = 1/2 cycles

Therefore, the number of cycles completed per (one) second = 1/2 cycles

Therefore the frequency of the swing, f = 1/2 cycle/seconds = 1/2 Hertz

The period, T, is the time it takes to complete one to-and-fro swing which is one cycle which is 2 seconds

Therefore, the period is 2 Seconds.

Am i correct? If not then which one

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Yes, it's correct

Explanation:

Newton's second Law states that the acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force applied on it, according to the equation:

$F=ma$

where

F is the net force on the object

m is the mass of the object

a is the acceleration of the object

We can re-arrange the previous equation in order to solve explicitely for a, the acceleration, and we find:

$F=ma\\\frac{F}{m}=\frac{ma}{m}\\\frac{F}{m}=a\\a=\frac{F}{m}$

So, we see that the acceleration is proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

Which of the following criteria can help Linda classify gases as greenhouse gases? gas molecules having three or more atoms gas

ratelena [41]

I think the correct answer would be the third option. The criteria that could help Linda in classifying whether the gases are greenhouse gases would be gas molecules having at least one oxygen atom. Most of the greenhouse gases has an oxygen atom in their structures especially those that naturally occurs. These gases are CO2, H2O vapor and nitrous oxide.
