Answer:

-2.83 m/s²

Explanation:

Initial velocity (u) = 34 m/s
Final velocity (v) = 17 m/s
Time taken (t) = 6 seconds

❖ Acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity with time.

→ a = (v - u)/t

v denotes final velocity
a denotes acceleration
u denotes initial velocity
t denotes time

→ a = (17 - 34)/6 m/s²

→ a = -17/6 m/s²

<h3>→ Acceleration = -2.83 m/s²</h3>

(Minus sign implies that the velocity is decreasing.)

A tissue cross-section viewed on a microscope slide shows a cell of almost rectangular shape with dimensions 6.9 × 10-4 cm by 1.

zimovet [89]

Answer:

The cross-sectional area is $A = 7.59 *10^{-11} \ m^2$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The dimension of the cell is 6.9 × 10-4 cm by 1.1 × 10-3 cm = $6.9*10^{-6} \ m \ by\ 1.1*10^{-5} \ m$

Generally the cross-sectional area is mathematically represented as

$A = 6.9*10^{-6} * 1.1*10^{-5}$

=> $A = 7.59 *10^{-11} \ m^2$

Three charges, Q1, Q2, and Q3 are located in a straight line. The position of Q2 is 0.301 m to the right of Q1. Q3 is located 0.

Alexxx [7]

Answer and Explanation: A charge exerts a force over another charge even if they are very far apart. This force is called <u>Electrostatic</u> <u>Force</u>.

If the two charges have the same sign, e.g. both aare positive, the force between them is opposite. If they have opposite sign, the force is towards each other. In other words, for electrostatic force, equal charges repel and different charges attract.

So,

1. If Q2 and Q3 have opposite signs, it is TRUE force in Q2 will go the left;

2. If the 2 are negative, they have the same sign, so it's FALSE force is to the right;

Sentences 3 and 4 are also TRUE due to the reasons described above;

5. If the charges have opposite signs, it means force is towards each other, or, to the right, so the sentence is TRUE;

1. Force is directly proportional to charges in Coulomb [C] and inversely proportional to distance squared in [m]:

$F=\frac{k.q.Q}{r^{2}}$

where k is a constant that equals 9 x 10⁹ N.m²/C²

Calculating force between 1 and 2:

$F_{12}=\frac{9.10^{9}(1.9.10^{-6})(2.84.10^{-6})}{(0.301)^{2}}$

$F_{12}=536.02.10^{-3}$ N

Force between 2 and 3:

$F_{23}=\frac{9.10^{9}(2.84.10^{-6})(3.03.10^{-6})}{(0.169)^{2}}$

$F_{23}=2711.63.10^{-3}$ N

Total force is the net force. Since Q2 is negative and the others are positive, force of 2 related to 1 is to left and related to 3 is to the right. Therefore, total force is the difference between those two forces:

$F_{T}=2711.63.10^{-3}-536.02.10^{-3}$

$F_{T}=2175.61.10^{-3}$ N

The total force on Q2 is 2175.61 x 10⁻³ N

2. For net force to be 0, $F_{13}=F_{23}$ . Suppose distance from 1 to 3 is x, then from 2 to 3 is $x-0.301$

Calculating:

$\frac{k(1.90.10^{-6})(3.03.10^{-6})}{x^{2}}=\frac{k(2.84.10^{-6})(3.03.10^{-6})}{(x-0.301)^{2}}$

$\frac{5.757.10^{-12}}{x^{2}} =\frac{8.6052.10^{-12}}{x^{2}-0.602x+0.090601}$

$\frac{5.757.10^{-12}}{8.6052.10^{-12}}=\frac{x^{2}}{x^{2}-0.602x+0.090601}$

$x^{2}=0.67x^{2}-0.40x+0.061$

$0.33x^{2}+0.40x-0.061=0$

roots = 0.14 or -1.35

Solving quadratic equation gives 2 roots, but one of the roots is negative. As distance is a measure that cannot be negative, the solution is x = 0.14.

The distance of Q3 relative to Q1 is 0.14 m

If Vector A is (3, 0) and Vector B is (-3, 3), what is the resultant?

Archy [21]

Answer:resultant vector R = (0, 3)

Explanation: vector A = (3, 0)

vector B =(-3, 3)

Vectors are added such that those in same directions are added together. The resultant vector R is the given by R = (3-3, 0+3)

= (0, 3)

Explanation:QA: “What is ordinary glass made of ?”

Glass is mostly silica, or silicon dioxide, present as quartz in many types of sand. Pure silica forms a highly transparent glass, but has a very high melting or softening temperature, around 1700°C. Even at such high temperatures it is highly viscous and difficult to work. Its use is largely confined to applications requiring high transparency to ultra-violet and infra-red radiation, stability at elevated temperatures or low thermal expansion coefficient.

“Ordinary glass” windows and drinking vessels are typically made from soda-lime glass, containing silica with around 25% sodium, calcium and other oxides, which together reduce the softening temperature to roughly 500–600°C
