Answer:

The book remained in its state of rest before the car started to move forward as no direct force acted on it.

Explanation:

According to Newton's first law of motion, a body will continue in its present state of rest, or if it is in motion, will continue to move with uniform speed in a straight line unless aced upon by an external force. This tendency of a body to remain in its state of reset or uniform motion in a straight line is known as inertia and is directly proportional to the mass of the body. The more massive a body, the more inertia it possesses. Thus Newton's first law is also known as the law of inertia.

Considering the case of the book on the dashboard of a stationary car which suddenly starts to move. While the car is stopped at the traffic light, the dashboard where the book sits and the book are both at rest. When the car begins to move forward, the dashboard moves forward with it. However as the book is not a part of the car, no force is directly acting on it, so the book so it stays at rest due to its inertia.

Therefore, as the car is moving forward, the stationary book appears to move backward from the reference point of the car, sliding off the dashboard.

Answer:

   C = 4,174 10³ V / m^{3/4} ,  E = 7.19 10² / ∛x,    E = 1.5  10³ N/C

Explanation:

For this exercise we can calculate the value of the constant and the electric field produced,

Let's start by calculating the value of the constant C

           V = C x^{4/3}

           C = V / x^{4/3}

            C = 220 / (11 10⁻²)^{4/3}

            C = 4,174 10³ V / m^{3/4}

To calculate the electric field we use the expression

            V = E dx

             E = dx / V

             E = ∫ dx / C x^{4/3}

            E = 1 / C  x^{-1/3} / (- 1/3)

            E = 1 / C (-3 / x^{1/3})

We evaluate from the lower limit x = 0 E = E₀ = 0 to the upper limit x = x, E = E

            E = 3 / C     (0- (-1 / x^{1/3}))

            E = 3 / 4,174 10³   (1 / x^{1/3})

           E = 7.19 10² / ∛x

for x = 0.110 cm

          E = 7.19 10² /∛0.11

          E = 1.5  10³ N/C

The air also contained a small amount of argon.
andriy [413]

Answer:

When argon changes from a gas to a liquid, the forces between the molecules become stronger so the particles become closer together and come into come into contact more often. The particles move at a less faster rate as the have less kinetic energy due to decrease in temperature. When argon changes from a liquid to a solid, the forces become even stronger so the particles are arranged in fixed positions and vibrate around a fixed point as they cannot move past each other

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

The distance is 55.636 billion miles, or 528.2 AU.

Explanation:

Since the distance from the Sun to Neptune is 2.7818 billion miles, the distance from the Sun to Planet Nine would be 20 times that, which is:

d=(20)(2781800000\ miles)=55636000000\ miles

or 55.636 billion miles.

Since 1 astronomical unit (AU) is 93 million miles, that distance is also:

d=(55636000000\ miles)(\frac{1AU}{93000000\ miles})=598.2\ AU
