Answer:

To find the slope, we need to have co-ordinates of atleast 2 points lying on the line.

In this case, the 2 points are

(-3,1) and (2,-2)

To find the gradient we put in the following rule :

Rise / Run = (y2 - y1) / (x2-x1) = (-2-1) / (2+3) = -3 /5

An electron and a proton are held on an x axis, with the electron at x = + 1.000 m and the proton at x = - 1.000 m.how much work

aksik [14]

It is required an infinite work. The additional electron will never reach the origin.

In fact, assuming the additional electron is coming from the positive direction, as it approaches x=+1.00 m it will become closer and closer to the electron located at x=+1.00 m. However, the electrostatic force between the two electrons (which is repulsive) will become infinite when the second electron reaches x=+1.00 m, because the distance d between the two electrons is zero:
$F=k_e \frac{q_e q_e}{d^2}$
So, in order for the additional electron to cross this point, it is required an infinite amount of work, which is impossible.

In a concave mirror parallel rays falling on it convergs at

ella [17]

Answer:

1) In a concave mirror parallel rays falling on it converges at F and 2F.

Explanation:

Spherical mirrors can be used for magnification of images. There are basically two types of spherical mirrors and they are converging mirror and diverging mirrors. The converging mirrors are also termed as concave mirrors and its basic work is to converge or combine light rays coming from a larger distance to a single point. Mostly the light beams falling parallel to the principle axis of the concave mirror will be acting as parallel rays. And when these parallel rays fall on the mirror, the converging point can be the focal point of the mirror.

Thus the location of converging point in concave mirrors will be based on the position or distance of object from the mirror. If the object distance is very far from the twice the focal length distance of mirror, then the converging point will be the focal point or F. And if the object is placed slightly greater than twice the distance of focal point, then the image will be obtained at 2F. But the parallel beams will be converging at F and 2F.

Sammy squirrel is steering his boat at a heading of 327 degree at 18mph. The current is flowing at 4mph at a heading of 60 degre

Tanya [424]

Answer:

59.97 º at 18.23 mph

Explanation:

To find Sammy's course you have to add the two velocities (vectors), 18 mph 327º and 4 mph 60º.

To add the two vectors analytically you decompose each vector into their vertical and horizontal components.

1. 18 mph 327º

Horizontal component: 18 mph × cos (327º) = 15.10 mph

Vertical component: 18 mph × sin (327º) = - 9.80 mph

Vector notation:

$15.10\hat i-9.80\hat j$

2. 4 mph 60º

Horizontal component: 4 mph × cos (60º) = 2.00 mph

Vertical component: 4 mph × sin (60º) = 3.46 mph

Vector notation:

$2.00\hat i+3.46\hat j$

3. Addition:

You add the corresponding components:

$15.10\hat i-9.80\hat j+2.00\hat i+3.46\hat j\\ \\ 17.10\hat i-6.34\hat j$

To find the magnitude use Pythagorean theorem:

$\sqrt{17.1^2+6.34^2}= 18.23$

4. Direction:

Use the tangent ratio:

$tan(\alpha )=opposite/adjacent=3.46/2.00=1.73$

Find the inverse:

arctan (1.73) ≈ 59.97º

Which Of The Following Statements Are True?

aksik [14]

Answer:

A) The north pole of a bar magnet will attract the south pole of another bar magnet.

B) Earth's geographic north pole is actually a magnetic south pole.

E) The south poles of two bar magnets will repel each other.

Explanation:

According to classical physics, a magnetic field always has two associated magnetic poles (north and south), the same happens with magnets. This means that if we break a magnet in half, we will have two magnets, where each new magnet will have a new south pole, and a new north pole.

This is because for classical physics, naturally, magnetic monopoles can not exist.

In this context, Earth is similar to a magnetic bar with a north pole and a south pole. This means, the axis that crosses the Earth from pole to pole is like a big magnet.

Now, by convention, on all magnets the north pole is where the magnetic lines of force leave the magnet and the south pole is where the magnetic lines of force enter the magnet.

Then, for the case of the Earth, the north pole of the magnet is located towards the geographic south pole and the south pole of the magnet is near the geographic north pole.

And it is for this reason, moreover, that the magnetic field lines enter the Earth through its magnetic south pole (which is the geographic north pole).
