Answer: is option C: <em>Prolonged periods of cooling and warming</em>.

Explanation:

In the history of Earth, climate varies time to time. At times, the Earth's atmosphere was much hotter and humid as compare to the present time, but similarly it has been noticed that climate also has been much colder than he present time, whereas the number of glaciers covers much of the Earth's surface. There are two kinds of periods in which we further classified Earth's climate namely, Glacial period, and Inter-glacial periods. It has been noticed that the average global temperature of Earth during glacial periods was around 5.5°C or 10°F, which is less than Earth's present climate. On the other hand, during inter-glacial periods Earth's temperature was about  1.1°C or 2.0°F, which is again higher as compared to current temperature. Over the past 900,000 years, Earth's temperature varied less than 5°C. Scientist believe by looking at the Earth's climate history, that glaciers will proceed again in formation, but it will take thousands of years.

A solid uniformly charged insulating sphere has uniform volume charge density p and radius R. Apply Gauss's law to determine an
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

electric field E = (1 /3 e₀) ρ r

Explanation:

For the application of the law of Gauss we must build a surface with a simple symmetry, in this case we build a spherical surface within the charged sphere and analyze the amount of charge by this surface.

The charge within our surface is

 

     ρ = Q / V

     Q ’= ρ V '

The volume of the sphere is V = 4/3 π r³

     Q ’= ρ 4/3 π r³

The symmetry of the sphere gives us which field is perpendicular to the surface, so the integral is reduced to the value of the electric field by the area

      I E da = Q ’/ ε₀

      E A = E 4 πi r² = Q ’/ ε₀

      E = (1/4 π ε₀) Q ’/ r²

Now you relate the fraction of load Q ’with the total load, for this we use that the density is constant

     

      R = Q ’/ V’ = Q / V

How you want the solution depending on the density (ρ) and the inner radius  (r)

      Q ’= R V’

      Q ’= ρ 4/3 π r³

      E = (1 /4π ε₀) (1 /r²) ρ 4/3 π r³

     E = (1 /3 e₀) ρ r

The Bohr radius a0 is the most probable distance between the proton and the electron in the Hydrogen atom, when the Hydrogen ato
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

The electric force is  F =  11.9 *10^{-9} \ N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  Bohr radius at ground state is  a_o  =  0.529 A =  0.529 ^10^{-10} \ m

    The values of the distance between the proton and an electron  z =  2.63a_o

The electric force is mathematically represented as

     F  =  \frac{k * n  * p }{r^2}

Where n and p are charges on a single electron and on a single proton which is mathematically represented as

      n = p  =   1.60 * 10^{-19} \ C

    and  k is the coulomb's  constant with a value

           k =9*10^{9} \ kg\cdot m^3\cdot s^{-4}\cdot A^2.

substituting values

       F =  \frac{9*10^{9} *  [(1.60*10^{-19} ]^2)}{(2.63 * 0.529 * 10^{-10})^2}

         F =  11.9 *10^{-9} \ N

magnitude of velocity does not change but the direction changes. Can we say that it is an accelerated motion?
Olenka [21]

Answer:

MRCORRECT has answered the question

Explanation:

Since velocity is a vector, it can change either in magnitude or in direction. Acceleration is therefore a change in either speed ordirection, or both. Keep in mind that althoughacceleration is in the direction of the changein velocity, it is not always in the direction ofmotion.

Car A (mass 1100 kg) is stopped at a traffic light when it is rear­ended by car B(mass 1400 kg). Both cars then slide with locke
viva [34]

Answer:

Part a)

v_a = 3.94 m/s

Part b)

v_b = 3.35 m/s

Part C)

v_b = 6.44 m/s

Part d)

Due to large magnitude of friction between road and the car the momentum conservation may not be valid here as momentum conservation is valid only when external force on the system is zero.

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that car A moves by distance 6.1 m after collision under the frictional force

so the deceleration due to friction is given as

a = -\frac{F_f}{m}

a = -\frac{\mu mg}{m}

a = - \mu g

now we will have

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2ad

0 - v_i^2 = 2(-\mu g)(6.1)

v_a = \sqrt{(2(0.13)(9.81)(6.1)}

v_a = 3.94 m/s

Part b)

Similarly for car B the distance of stop is given as 4.4 m

so we will have

v_b = \sqrt{2(0.13)(9.81)(4.4)}

v_b = 3.35 m/s

Part C)

By momentum conservation we will have

m_1v_{1i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}

1400 v_b = 1100(3.94) + 1400(3.35)

v_b = 6.44 m/s

Part d)

Due to large magnitude of friction between road and the car the momentum conservation may not be valid here as momentum conservation is valid only when external force on the system is zero.
