Answer:

Space radiation is made up of three kinds of radiation: particles trapped in the Earth's magnetic field; particles shot into space during solar flares (solar particle events); and galactic cosmic rays, which are high-energy protons and heavy ions from outside our solar system.

A hot air balloon is hovering in the air when it drops a 40 Kg food package to some lost golfers. If the package is dropped from

UNO [17]

We can calculate this with the law of conservation of energy. Here we have a food package with a mass m=40 kg, that is in the height h=500 m and all of it's energy is potential. When it is dropped, it's potential energy gets converted into kinetic energy. So we can say that its kinetic and potential energy are equal, because we are neglecting air resistance:

Ek=Ep, where Ek=(1/2)*m*v² and Ep=m*g*h, where m is the mass of the body, g=9.81 m/s² and h is the height of the body.

(1/2)*m*v²=m*g*h, masses cancel out and we get:

(1/2)*v²=g*h, and we multiply by 2 both sides of the equation

v²=2*g*h, and we take the square root to get v:

v=√(2*g*h)

v=99.04 m/s

So the package is moving with the speed of v= 99.04 m/s when it hits the ground.

Identical isolated conducting spheres 1 and 2 have equal charges and are separated by a distance that is large compared with the

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

F = 0.1575 N

Explanation:

When the third sphere touches the first sphere, the charge is distributed between both spheres, then now the first sphere has only half of his original charge.

In this moment then

Sphere one has a charge = Q/2

Sphere three has a charge = Q/2

Now when the third sphere touches the second sphere again the charge is distributed in a manner that both sphere has the same charge.

How the total charge is Q = Q/2 + Q = 3/2Q, when the spheres are separated each one has 3/4Q

Sphere two has a charge = 3/4Q

Sphere three has a charge = 3/4Q

The electrostatic force that acts on sphere 2 due to sphere 1 is:

F = $\frac{kQ_{1}Q_{2} }{r^{2} }$

F= $\frac{K(Q/2)(3Q/4)}{r^{2} }$

how $\frac{KQ^{2} }{r^{2} }$ = 0.42

Then

F = $\frac{0.42*3}{8}$

F = 0.1575 N

A football kicker kicks a ball with a mass of .42 kg. The average acceleration of the football was 14.8 m/s squared. How much fo

mrs_skeptik [129]

To find the force we use the formula,

F = ma , where m is mass and a acceleration

Using the formula,

F = ma

F = 0.42 x 14.8

F = 6.216 N / 6.22 N

Why is the following situation impossible? A skater glides along a circular path. She defines a certain point on the circle as h

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

A skater glides along a circular path. She defines a certain point on the circle as her origin. Later on, she passes through a point at which the distance she has traveled along the path from the origin is smaller than the magnitude of her displacement vector from the origin.

So here in circular motion of the skater we can see that the total path length of the skater is along the arc of the circle while we can say that displacement is defined as the shortest distance between initial and final position of the object.

So it is not possible in any circle that arc-length is less than the chord joining the two points on the circle

As we know that arc length is given as

$L = R\theta$
