Answer:

An ion is an atom or group of atoms with a positive or negative charge. Ions form when atoms lose or gain electrons to obtain a full outer shell: metal atoms lose electrons to form positively charged ions non-metal atoms gain electrons to form negatively charged ions.

A physical quantity is defined as mass per uint volume .what is its si unit.


A physical quantity is a property of a material or system that can be quantified by measurement. A physical quantity can be expressed as the combination of a numerical value and a unit. For example, the physical quantity mass can be quantified as n kg, where n is the numerical value and kg is the unit. A physical quantity possesses at least two characteristics in common, one is numerical magnitude and other is the unit in which it is measured.

Una cuerda horizontal tiene una longitud de 5 m y masa de 0,00145 kg. Si sobre esta cuerda se da un pulso generando una longitud
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

A horizontal rope has a length of 5 m and a mass of 0.00145 kg. If a pulse occurs on this string, generating a wavelength of 0.6 m and a frequency of 120 Hz. The tension to which the string is subjected is

mass of string, m = 0.00145 kg

Frequency, f = 120 Hz

wavelength = 0.6 m

Speed = frequency x wavelength

speed = 120 x 0.6 = 72 m/s

Let the tension is T.

Use the formula

v =\sqrt\frac{T L}{m}\\\\72 = \sqrt\frac{T\times 5}{0.00145}\\\\T = 1.5 N

Option (A) is correct.

200 kW of solar radiation is shining on a 300 m^2 parking lot. What is the insulation on the parking lot?
ale4655 [162]

That's "<em><u>insolation</u></em>" ... not "insulation".

'Insolation' is simply the intensity of solar radiation over some area.

If 200 kW of radiation is shining on 300 m² of area, then the insolation is

           (200 kW) / (300 m²) = <em>(666 and 2/3) watt/m²</em> .

Note that this is the intensity of the <em><u>incident</u></em> radiation.  It doesn't say anything
about how much soaks in or how much bounces off.

Wait ! 
I just looked back at the choices, and realized that I didn't answer the question
at all.  I have no idea what  "1 sun"  means.  Forgive me.  I have stolen your
points, and I am filled with remorse.

Wait again !
I found it, through literally several seconds of online research.

           1 sun = 1 kW/m².

So 2/3 of a kW per m²  =  2/3 of 1 sun

That's between 0.5 sun and 1.0 sun.

I feel better now, and plus, I learned something.
