Answer:

<h3>1kg</h3>

Explanation:

According to law of conservation of momentum

m1u1+ m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

m1 and m2 are the masses of the object

u1 and u2 are their initial velocities

v is their common velocity

Given

m1 = 3kg

m2 = M

u1 = 8m/s

u2 = 0m/s (object at rest)

v = 6.0m/s

Substitute and get M

3(8) + M(0) = (3+M)6

24 = 18+6M

24-18 = 6M

6 = 6M

M = 1kg

Hence the mass M is 1kg

Which of the following is NOT a level of home monitoring?
Bingel [31]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

d. electronic monitoring

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Home monitoring in its simplest term is the act of restricting the movement of an entity, object or an individual to a specified location, usually their homes.

In criminology, there are various levels of home monitoring. Some of them are;

i. <em>Curfew</em>: This type of home monitoring requires that the persons being monitored be indoors/at home at specified hours.

ii. <em>Home incarceration</em>: This level of home monitoring requires that the persons being monitored be indoors/at home at all times except in times of medical urgencies.

iii. <em>Home detention</em>: This seems to be one of the less strict forms of home monitoring. It requires that the persons being monitored be indoors/at home at all times except when necessary. For example, they could go to school, their workplace, to the market and so on.

Electronic monitoring is not a form of home monitoring as it allows the person being monitored to move freely. They might just contacted via telephone or any other means, at intervals to know their whereabouts.

Ainat [17]

The great astronomer of ancient times who summarized and improved...in a book now called The Almagest) is Ptolemy This is further explained below.

<h3>Who is Ptolemy?</h3>

Generally, Claudius Ptolemy was a Greek mathematician, astronomer, and geographer who lived in the second century CE and is best known for proposing the geocentric model of the cosmos, which was used to explain planetary and stellar movements for the next thousand years.

In conclusion, Ptolemy, the ancient world's preeminent astronomer, compiled and refined a system of circles inside circles to describe the complexities of planetary motion, publishing his work in what is now known as The Almagest.

Four charges 7 × 10−9 C at (0 m, 0 m), −9 × 10−9 C at (3 m, 3 m), 7 × 10−9 C at (1 m, 3 m), and −8 × 10−9 C at (−3 m, 2 m), are
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Magnitude of the resulting force on the 7 nC charge at the origin:

Fn₁= 23.95*10⁻⁹ N

Explanation:

Look at the attached graphic:

Charges of positive signs exert repulsive forces on q₁ + and charges of negative signs exert attractive forces on q₁ +.

q₁ experiences three forces (F₂₁,F₃₁,F₄₁) and we calculate them with Coulomb's law:

F = (k*q₁*q)/(d)²

d_{12} = \sqrt{3^{2}+3^{2}  }  = \sqrt{18} m : distance from q₁ to q₂

(d₁₂)² = 18 m²

d_{13} =\sqrt{1^{2}+3^{2}  } = \sqrt{10} m  : distance from q₁ to q₃

(d₁₃)² = 10 m²

d_{14} =\sqrt{3^{2}+2^{2}  } = \sqrt{13} m  : distance from q₁ to q₄

(d₁₄)² = 13 m²

K=  8.98755 × 10⁹ N *m²/C²

q₁=  7*10⁻⁹C

k*q₁=8.98755*10⁹ *7*10⁻⁹= 62.9

F₂₁= (62.9)*(9* 10⁻⁹) /(18) = 31.45*10⁻⁹ C

F₃₁= (62.9)*(7* 10⁻⁹) /(10) = 44*10⁻⁹ C

F₄₁= (62.9)*(8* 10⁻⁹) /(13) = 38.7*10⁻⁹ C

x-y components of the net force on q₁ (Fn₁):

α= tan⁻¹(3/3)= 45°  ,  β= tan⁻¹(3/1)= 71.56° , θ= tan⁻¹(2/3)= 33.69°

Fn₁x = F₂₁x+ F₃₁x+F₄₁x

F₂₁x =+ F₂₁*cosα =+ (31.45*10⁻⁹)* (cos 45°) = +22.24 *10⁻⁹ N

F₃₁x= -F₃₁*cosβ = - ( 44*10⁻⁹)* (cos 71.56°) = -13.91 *10⁻⁹ N

F₄₁x= -F₄₁*cosθ = -(38.7*10⁻⁹)* (cos 33.69°) = -32.2*10⁻⁹ N

Fn₁x = (+22.24 - 13.91 - 32.2)*10⁻⁹ N

Fn₁x = -23.87 *10⁻⁹ N

Fn₁y = F₂₁y+ F₃₁y+F₄₁y

F₂₁x =+ F₂₁*sinα =+ (31.45*10⁻⁹)* (sin 45°) = +22.24 *10⁻⁹ N

F₃₁x= -F₃₁*sinβ = - ( 44*10⁻⁹)* (sin 71.56°) = -41.74 *10⁻⁹ N

F₄₁x= +F₄₁*sinθ = +(38.7*10⁻⁹)* (sin 33.69°) =+21.47*10⁻⁹ N

Fn₁y = (22.24 -41.74+21.47)*10⁻⁹ N  

Fn₁y = 1.97*10⁻⁹ N

Magnitude of the resulting force on the 7 nC charge at the origin (q₁):

F_{n1} =\sqrt{(Fn_{1x} )^{2}+(Fn_{1y} )^{2} }

F_{n1} =\sqrt{(23.87 )^{2}+(1.97 )^{2} }

Fn₁= 23.95*10⁻⁹ N

Which of the following woud be expected to have the greatest impact on primary productivity?
leonid [27]

Answer: C solar energy

Solar energy has the greatest  impact on primary productivity.

Explanation:

Primary productivity  is the amount of organic compounds synthesized from carbon dioxide. Primary production occurs by the process of photosynthesis. Since the process of photosynthesis uses sunlight as the energy source solar energy has the greatest impact on primary productivity.

The synthesis can occur in atmosphere as well as aquatic environment. The organisms that perform the function of primary production are called producers .In terrestrial regions plants are the producers and in aquatic systems algae are the  primary producers.

How could you test the hypothesis that elephants interpreted the ground signal as being farther away than the air signal?
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

One way to test the hypothesis is to create two waves, one in the air and one on the ground at the same time. One of them for the elephant to get closer and another for the elephants to move away. Observe the reaction of the animal and with this we know which sound came first.

Explanation:

This hypothesis is based on the fact that the speed of sound in air is v = 343 m / s with a small variation with temperature.

The speed of sound in solid soil is an average of the speed of its constituent media, giving values ​​between

 wood      3900 m / s

 concrete 4000 m / s

 fabrics     1540 m / s

 earth       5000 m / s wave S

 ground    7000 m / s P wave

 

we can see that the speed on solid earth is an order of magnitude greater than in air.

One way to test the hypothesis is to create two waves, one in the air and one on the ground at the same time. One of them for the elephant to get closer and another for the elephants to move away. Observe the reaction of the animal and with this we know which sound came first.

From the initial information, the wave going through the ground should arrive first.
