The answer is c

Glaciers move by sliding over bedrock or underlying gravel and rock debris. With the increased pressure in the glacier because of the weight, the individual ice grains slide past one another and the ice moves slowly downhill.

The answer I believe is c
Explanation
During the day when temperatures are higher, the snow melts and water enters the cracks in the rock. When the temperature drops below 0°C the water in the crack freezes and expands by about 9 per cent. This makes the crack larger.

A book that weighs 19 Newtons sits on a table. With what force

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

We know there's two forces acting on a book while it sits on a table:the force of gravity pulling it down, and the normal force of the table acting upward on the book. The book isn't accelerating while it sits there. That's because the weight of the book is being counteracted by the normal force of the table.

Explanation:

There are two forces acting upon the book. One force - the Earth's gravitational pull - exerts a downward force. The other force - the push of the table on the book (sometimes referred to as a normal force) - pushes upward on the book.

Cheetahs can accelerate to a speed of 19.6 m/s in 2.45 s and can continue to accelerate to reach a top speed of 27.6 m/s . Assum

marta [7]

Answer:

$v_{top} = 61.96 \frac{mi}{h}$

Explanation:

To express the cheetah's top speed in miles per hour, we just need to find the conversion factor.

We know that the top speed is

$v_{top} = 27.7 \frac{m}{s}$

So, we want to obtain miles from meters and hours from seconds.

<h3>miles from meters</h3>

First we write the equivalence:

$1609.34 \ m = 1 \ mi$

Now, we can divide by 1609.34 meters on both sides:

$\frac{1609.34 \ m}{ 1609.34 \ m} = \frac{1 \ mi}{ 1609.34 \ m}$

The left sides equals 1, so

$1 = \frac{1 \ mi}{ 1609.34 \ m}$

And this is our conversion factor from meters to miles. Now, we can multiply our top speed by this conversion factor, as the conversion factor equals one, and is dimensionless, the physical meaning will be the same.

$v_{top} = 27.7 \frac{m}{s} * \frac{1 \ mi}{ 1609.34 \ m}$

$v_{top} = 0.0172120 \frac{mi}{s}$

This is the top speed in miles per second, now, for obtaining miles per hour:

<h3>hours from seconds</h3>

We can do pretty much the same, first, the equivalence:

$1 \ h = 3600 \ s$

as the seconds are dividing in the velocity, we know divide by 1 hour.

$\frac{1 \ h}{ 1 \ h} = \frac{3600 \ s}{ 1 \ h}$

$1 = \frac{3600 \ s}{ 1 \ h}$

and know we just multiply our top speed by this conversion factor

$v_{top} = 0.0172120 \frac{mi}{s} \frac{3600 \ s}{ 1 \ h}$

$v_{top} = 61.96 \frac{mi}{h}$

1) A thin ring made of uniformly charged insulating material has total charge Q and radius R. The ring is positioned along the x

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

(A) considering the charge "q" evenly distributed, applying the technique of charge integration for finite charges, you obtain the expression for the potential along any point in the Z-axis:

$V(z)=\frac{Q}{4\pi (\epsilon_{0}) \sqrt{R^{2} +z^{2}} }$

With $(\epsilon_{0})$ been the vacuum permittivity

(B) The expression for the magnitude of the E(z) electric field along the Z-axis is:

$E(z)=\frac{QZ}{4\pi (\epsilon_{0}) (R^{2} +z^{2})^{\frac{3}{2} } }$

Explanation:

(A) Considering a uniform linear density $λ_{0}$ on the ring, then:

$dQ=\lambda dl$ (1)⇒ $Q=\lambda_{0} 2\pi R$ (2)⇒ $\lambda_{0}=\frac{Q}{2\pi R}$ (3)

Applying the technique of charge integration for finite charges:

$V(z)= 4\pi (ε_{0})\int\limits^a_b {\frac{1}{ r' }} \, dQ$ (4)

Been r' the distance between the charge and the observation point and a, b limits of integration of the charge. In this case a=2π and b=0.

Using cylindrical coordinates, the distance between a point of the Z-axis and a point of a ring with R radius is:

$r'=\sqrt{R^{2} +Z^{2}}$ (5)

Using the expressions (1),(4) and (5) you obtain:

$V(z)= 4\pi (\epsilon_{0})\int\limits^a_b {\frac{\lambda_{0}R}{ \sqrt{R^{2} +Z^{2}} }} \, d\phi$

Integrating results:

$V(z)=\frac{Q}{4\pi (\epsilon_{0}) \sqrt{R^{2} +z^{2}} }$ (S_a)

(B) For the expression of the magnitude of the field E(z), is important to remember:

$|E| =-\nabla V$ (6)

But in this case you only work in the z variable, soo the expression (6) can be rewritten as:

$|E| =-\frac{dV(z)}{dz}$ (7)

Using expression (7) and (S_a), you get the expression of the magnitude of the field E(z):

$E(z)=\frac{QZ}{4\pi (\epsilon_{0}) (R^{2} +z^{2})^{\frac{3}{2} } }$ (S_b)
