Answer:

The correct answer is B. <u><em>Strong Nuclear.</em></u>

Explanation:

An atom contains protons, neutrons, and electrons. The nucleus of an atom consists of bound protons and neutrons (nucleons). The negatively charged electrons are attracted to the positively charged protons and fall around the nucleus, much like a satellite is attracted to the gravity of the Earth. The positively-charged protons repel each other and aren't electrically attracted or repelled to the neutral neutrons, so you may wonder how the atomic nucleus sticks together and why protons don't fly off.

The explanation for why protons and neutrons stick together is known as "the strong force." The strong force is also known as the strong interaction, color force, or strong nuclear force. The strong force is <u><em>much more powerful</em></u> than the electrical repulsion between protons, however, the particles have to be close to each other for it to stick them together.

In the solar panel system presented in the video, which of the following was necessary to generate usable electrical current for
anastassius [24]

Answer:

A and B are both requirements for a solar panel to generate usable current at home.

Explanation:

Solar panel operates through a group of cells, where each one of them captures/convert electrons making them move from one polarised region to another. The excited electrons can move from a region in excess of electrons (p region) to a region with a lack of electrons (n region).  

This physical effect of electron moving from one side to another creates what we know as current flow.

This current flow from a solar panel does not vary with time in a determined frequency, so it's constant. This is the definition of a DC current. Since the household devices work with AC (variable sinusoidal current Alternate Current) a converter DC to AC is required.

Due to the fact that the solar panels only operate in the day when they recibe direct sunlight, there is the need to have batteries to store the energy for the night and the times where the sunlight is not enough to provide enough electron flow.

Find the orbital period (in years) of an asteroid whose average distance from the sun is 27
dmitriy555 [2]
Using Kepler's third law which is defined as the square of the average distance is directly proportional to the cube of the period. It is expressed as P^2 = a^3, Given that the a = average distance is given, the period would be much easier to compute. P = sqrt(27^3) = 140

If a 12 kg cat is sitting 5 m up in a tree, how much PE does it have?
Helen [10]

Answer:

588 J

Explanation:

PE (potential energy) = (mass) x (gravity) x (height)

mass = 12 kg

gravity = 9.8m/s^2

height = 5 m

PE = (12) x (9.8) x (5) = 588 J (Joules)

Sudhir walk .40 km in a direction 60 degrees west of north then goes .50km due west. what is his displacement?
DENIUS [597]

consider east-west direction along x-axis and north-south direction along y-axis

from the diagram

A = Ax i + By j  = - (0.40 Sin60) i + (0.40 Cos60) j = - 0.35 i + 0.20 j

B = Bx i + By j = - 0.50 i + 0 j

Net displacement is given as

D = A + B

D = (- 0.35 i + 0.20 j ) + (- 0.50 i + 0 j )

D = - 0.85 i + 0.2 j

magnitude of displacement is given as

|D| = sqrt((- 0.85)² + (0.2)²)

|D| = 0.87 km


direction of displacement is given as

θ = tan⁻¹(0.2/0.85)

θ = 13.5 deg north of west
