They based their idea of continental drift on several lines of evidence: fit of the continents, paleoclimate indicators, truncated geologic features, and fossils.

A 0.700-kg particle has a speed of 1.90 m/s at point circled A and kinetic energy of 7.20 J at point circled B. (a) What is its

Savatey [412]

Answer:

a). $E_{kA}=1.2635 J$

b). $V_{B}=4.535\frac{m}{s}$

c). Δ $E_{t}=8.4635 J$

Explanation:

ΔE=kinetic energy

a).

$E_{kA}=\frac{1}{2}*m*v_{A} ^{2} \\ v_{A}=1.9 \frac{m}{s}\\ m=0.70kg\\E_{kA}=\frac{1}{2}*0.70kg*(1.9 \frac{m}{s})^{2} \\E_{kA}=1.2635 J$

b).

$E_{kB}=\frac{1}{2}*m*v_{B} ^{2}$

$V_{B}^{2}=\frac{E_{kB}*2}{m} \\V_{B}=\sqrt{\frac{E_{kB}*2}{m}} \\V_{B}=\sqrt{\frac{7.2J*2}{0.70kg}} \\V_{B}=4.53 \frac{m}{s}$

c).

net work= EkA+EkB

$E_{t}=E_{kA}+ E_{kB}\\E_{t}=1.2635J+7.2J\\E_{t}=8.4635J$

As in the video, we apply a charge +Q to the half-shell that carries the electroscope. This time, we also apply a charge –Q to t

Andreyy89

Answer:

Explanation:

When the positively charged half shell is brought in contact with the electroscope, its needle deflects due to charge present on the shell.

When the negatively charged half shell is brought in contact with the positively charged shell , the positive and negative charge present on each shell neutralises each other .So both the shells lose their charges .The positive half shell also loses all its charges

When we separate the half shells , there will be no deflection in the electroscope because both the shell have already lost their charges and they have become neutral bodies . So they will not be able to produce any deflection in the electroscope.

Does air resistance affect the motion of a falling object differently when the initial velocity of the object is greater?

DIA [1.3K]

Yes. Even greater. Air resistance or drag becomes harder the faster an object goes. This is why when cars reach their max speed they don't accelerate as fast, because they are pushing harder against the wind. If I take a tennis ball and shoot it down a bottomless pit, a 400 kph, the drag will slow the ball down till it reaches terminal velocity.

A child is riding a merry-go-round that is turning at 7.18 rpm. if the child is standing 4.65 m from the center of the merry-go-

Alisiya [41]

First we need to convert the angular speed from rpm to rad/s. Keeping in mind that
$1 rev= 2 \pi rad$
$1 min = 60 s$
the angular speed is
$\omega = 7.18 \frac{rev}{min} \cdot \frac{2 \pi}{60} = 0.75 rad/s$

And so now we can calculate the tangential speed of the child, which is the angular speed times the distance of the child from the center of the motion:
$v= \omega r = (0.75 rad/s)(4.65 m)=3.50 m/s$
