Answer:

O inertia

Explanation:

The moon's property that prevents it from being pulled inward by the Earth is called it's inertia.

Every object in the universal space have gravitational force of attraction to one another due to their masses.

An inertia is the reluctant of a body to move or the tendency of it to remain in constant motion.

Inertia entails the property of objects to remain at rest or continue in uniform motion.

As the force of gravity acts between the earth and the moon, inertia keeps a body in constant position.

The stiffness of a particular spring is 42 N/m. One end of the spring is attached to a wall. A force of 2 N is required to hold

Liula [17]

Answer:

$L_{o}=0.1224m$

Explanation:

Given data

Force F=2 N

Length L=17 cm = 0.17 m

Spring Constant k=42 N/m

To find

Relaxed length of the spring

Solution

From Hooke's Law we know that

$F_{spring}=k_{s}|s|\\F_{spring}=k_{s}(L-L_{o})\\ 2N=(42N/m)(0.17m-L_{o})\\2=7.14-42L_{o}\\-42L_{o}=2-7.14\\42L_{o}=5.14\\L_{o}=(5.14/42)\\L_{o}=0.1224m$

kaheart [24]

Ionic bonds occur when electrons are donated from one atom to another. Each type of atom forms a characteristic number of covalentbonds with other atoms. An example of that is a hydrogen atom with one electron in its outer shell forms only one bond, its out most orbital becomes filled with two electrons.

A proton that has a mass m and is moving at 270 m/s in the i hat direction undergoes a head-on elastic collision with a stationa

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

$V_p = 267.258 m/s$

$V_n = 38.375 m/s$

Explanation:

using the law of the conservation of the linear momentum:

$P_i = P_f$

where $P_i$ is the inicial momemtum and $P_f$ is the final momentum

the linear momentum is calculated by the next equation

P = MV

where M is the mass and V is the velocity.

so:

$P_i = m(270 m/s)$

$P_f = mV_P + M_nV_n$

where m is the mass of the proton and $V_p$ is the velocity of the proton after the collision, $M_n$ is the mass of the nucleus and $V_n$ is the velocity of the nucleus after the collision.

therefore, we can formulate the following equation:

m(270 m/s) = m $V_p$ + 14m $V_n$

then, m is cancelated and we have:

270 = $V_p$ + $14V_n$

This is a elastic collision, so the kinetic energy K is conservated. Then:

$K_i = \frac{1}{2}MV^2 = \frac{1}{2}m(270)^2$

and

Kf = $\frac{1}{2}mV_p^2 +\frac{1}{2}(14m)V_n^2$

then,

$\frac{1}{2}m(270)^2$ = $\frac{1}{2}mV_p^2 +\frac{1}{2}(14m)V_n^2$

here we can cancel the m and get:

$\frac{1}{2}(270)^2$ = $\frac{1}{2}V_p^2 +\frac{1}{2}(14)V_n^2$

now, we have two equations and two incognites:

270 = $V_p$ + $14V_n$ (eq. 1)

$\frac{1}{2}(270)^2$ = $\frac{1}{2}V_p^2 +\frac{1}{2}(14)V_n^2$

in the second equation, we have:

36450 = $\frac{1}{2}V_p^2 +\frac{1}{2}(14)V_n^2$ (eq. 2)

from this last equation we solve for $V_n$ as:

$V_n = \sqrt{\frac{36450-\frac{1}{2}V_p^2 }{\frac{1}{2} } }$

and replace in the other equation as:

270 = $V_p +$ 14 $\sqrt{\frac{36450-\frac{1}{2}V_p^2 }{\frac{1}{2} } }$

so,

$V_p = -267.258 m/s$

Vp is negative because the proton go in the -i hat direction.

Finally, replacing this value on eq. 1 we get:

$V_n = \frac{270+267.258}{14}$

$V_n = 38.375 m/s$

Which of the following is true of iron? a. It has the highest electrical conductivity of any metal. b. It can exist in many allo

melamori03 [73]

Answer: B

It can exist in many alloys, usually with a carbon base

Explanation:

Iron forms many alloys with a carbon base. Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon. There are many different types of steel needed for different applications. Various metals are added to tune the steel to the required properties. For instance, stainless steel contains 10-30% chromium in addition to iron and a low percentage of carbon. Steel remains an extremely versatile alloy used for many different purposes.

Frictional force is caused by the interaction of a body with

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Frictional force always acts parallel to two planes in contact with each other and in a direction opposite to that of relative motion of the two bodies. 2. Frictional forces are caused due to intermolecular interactions between the bodies. Frictional force is more for rough surface and less for smooth surfaces.
