Answer:

In a truss bridge, two long - usually straight members known as chords - form the top and bottom; they are connected by a web of vertical posts and diagonals. The bridge is supported at the ends by abutments and sometimes in the middle by piers.

at the extact same time, youj drop a piece of notebook paper and your science out the window. the science book hit first? why?

jeyben [28]

The piece of paper has less mass and will glide down the window, whereas the textbook will go straight to the ground. Since the textbook has more mass and less ways of it being able to 'glide' the textbook will hit the ground first.

A quantity that has direction as well as size is a scalar.<br><br><br> True or False

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

A quantity that does not depend on the direction is called a scalar quantity. Vector quantities have two characteristics, a magnitude, and a direction. Scalar quantities have only a magnitude. When comparing two vector quantities of the same type, you have to compare both the magnitude and the direction.

Scalar quantities only have magnitude (size). Scalar quantities include distance...

A quantity that is specified by both size and direction is a vector. Displacement includes both size and direction and is an example of a vector. However, distance is a physical quantity that does not include a direction and isn't a vector.

A particle of charge 2.0 x 10^-8C experiences an upward force of magnitude 4.0 x10^-6 when it is placed in a particular point in

koban [17]

Answer:

a) The electric field at that point is $2.0\times 10^{2}$ newtons per coulomb.

b) The electric force is $2.0\times 10^{-6}$ newtons.

Explanation:

a) Let suppose that electric field is uniform, then the following electric field can be applied:

$E = \frac{F_{e}}{q}$ (1)

Where:

$E$ - Electric field, measured in newtons per coulomb.

$F_{e}$ - Electric force, measured in newtons.

$q$ - Electric charge, measured in coulombs.

If we know that $F_{e} = 4.0\times 10^{-6}\,N$ and $q = 2.0\times 10^{-8}\,C$ , then the electric field at that point is:

$E = \frac{4.0\times 10^{-6}\,N}{2.0\times 10^{-8}\,C}$

$E = 2.0\times 10^{2}\,\frac{N}{C}$

The electric field at that point is $2.0\times 10^{2}$ newtons per coulomb.

b) If we know that $E = 2.0\times 10^{2}\,\frac{N}{C}$ and $q = 1.0\times 10^{-8}\,C$ , then the electric force is:

$F_{e} = E\cdot q$

$F_{e} = \left(2.0\times 10^{2}\,\frac{N}{C} \right)\cdot (1.0\times 10^{-8}\,C)$

$F_{e} = 2.0\times 10^{-6}\,N$

The electric force is $2.0\times 10^{-6}$ newtons.

Owen and Dina are at rest in frame S' , which is moving at 0.600 c with respect to frame S . They play a game of catch while Ed

Taya2010 [7]

The speed of the ball with respect to Dina is 0.800c.

A frame of reference is a set of reference points—geometric points whose positions are known mathematically and physically—that define the origin, orientation, and scale of an abstract coordinate system.

If a body does not continuously adjust its position in relation to its environment throughout the course of time, it is said to be at rest.

In frame S', Dina and Owen are at rest.

The speed of the ball with respect to Owen, u =0.800c

The speed of the fram S' with respect to frame S, v = 0.600c

Distance between Dina and Owen, L(p) = 1.8 × 10¹² m

Speed of light, c = 3 × 10⁸ m/s

Therefore, the speed of the ball according to Dina is 0.800c. As Dina and Owen are in the same frame.
