Answer:

Volcanic eruptions cool down the planet

Explanation:

Volcanic eruptions actually cool the planet because the particles ejected from volcanoes shade incoming solar radiation. ... The small ash and aerosol particles decrease the amount of sunlight reaching the surface of the Earth and lower average global temperatures.

Hope this helps!!! :D

nekit [7.7K]

We have: v = d/t
From the expression, we conclude speed is indirectly proportional to speed.
So, the car which will take longer time must have the smallest speed. Among all the options Car C has the smallest speed. So, it would be your answer.

In short, Your Answer would be Option C) Car C will take longer time than any other.

Hope this helps!

When water waves meet, they can combine to form new waves. In constructive waves, a ________ amplitude wave is formed. In destru

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

In constructive waves, a greater amplitude wave is formed. In destructive waves, a wave with a smaller amplitude is formed. (option A)

Explanation:

Interference is called the superposition or sum of two or more waves. Depending mainly on the wavelengths, amplitudes and the relative distance between them, there are two types of interference: constructive or destructive.

Constructive interference occurs when there are two waves of identical or similar frequency (both have motions equal to an even number of similar wavelengths) and overlap the peak of one with the peak of the other. These effects add together and make a wave of greater amplitude. All of this is possible because the waves were in the same phase in the beginning (in the same position).

Destructive interference occurs in the opposite case to constructive. When the crest of one wave overlaps the valley of the other, they cancel out since they are in different phases when they overlap (they were in different positions). That is, as in the case of constructive waves they were added, in the case of destructive waves they cancel out (subtract).

So, In constructive waves, a greater amplitude wave is formed. In destructive waves, a wave with a smaller amplitude is formed.

A proton, initially traveling in the +x-direction with a speed of 5.05×10^5 m/s , enters a uniform electric field directed verti

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The strength of the electric field is $1.35\times10^{4}\ N/C$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed $v= 5.05\times10^{5}\ m/s$

Time $t= 3.90\times10^{-7}\ s$

Angle = 45°

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using equation of motion

$v = u+at$

$5.05\times10^{5}=0+a\times3.90\times10^{-7}$

$a =\dfrac{5.05\times10^{5}}{3.90\times10^{-7}}$

$a=1.29\times10^{12}\ m/s^2$

We need to calculate the strength of the electric field

Using relation of newton's second law and electric force

$F= ma=qE$

$ma = qE$

$E=\dfrac{ma}{q}$

Put the value into the formula

$E=\dfrac{1.67\times10^{-27}\times1.29\times10^{12}}{1.6\times10^{-19}}$

$E=1.35\times10^{4}\ N/C$

Hence, The strength of the electric field is $1.35\times10^{4}\ N/C$ .

The inner and outer surfaces of a cell membrane carry a negative and positive charge, respectively. Because of these charges, a

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

E = 8.5 * 10^6 V/m

Explanation:

In general we have the following relation between the Electric Field and the Elecric Potential:

$\int\limits^2_1 {\vec{E} \cdot\vec{dl}} = V_{2} -V_{1}$

Due to the vector nature of the electric filed, we can only know the mean Electric field E across the membrane, and take it out from the integral, that is:

E = (ΔV)/L

Where L is the thickness of the membrane and ΔV is the potential difference.

Therefore:

E = 8.53933*10^6 V/m

rounding to the first tenth:

E = 8.5 * 10^6 V/m
