Answer:

A pesar de las diferencias entre cada copo de nieve y las grandes familias de copos que existen, estos todavía tienen una base hexagonal. Esta estructura hexagonal se explica por la forma en que las moléculas de agua se unen para formar un cristal

Despite the differences between each snowflake and the large families of flakes that exist, they still have a hexagonal base. This hexagonal structure is explained by the way in which water molecules come together to form a crystal.

Two satellites, A and B are in different circular orbits

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

The ratio of the orbital time periods of A and B is $\frac{1}{2}$

Solution:

As per the question:

The orbit of the two satellites is circular

Also,

Orbital speed of A is 2 times the orbital speed of B

$v_{oA} = 2v_{oB}$ (1)

Now, we know that the orbital speed of a satellite for circular orbits is given by:

$v_{o} = \farc{2\piR}{T}$

where

R = Radius of the orbit

Now,

For satellite A:

$v_{oA} = \farc{2\piR}{T_{a}}$

Using eqn (1):

$2v_{oB} = \farc{2\piR}{T_{a}}$ (2)

For satellite B:

$v_{oB} = \farc{2\piR}{T_{b}}$ (3)

Now, comparing eqn (2) and eqn (3):

$\frac{T_{a}}{T_{b}} = \farc{1}{2}$

Air flows upward in the wick of a lantern because of the liquid property called

vovangra [49]

Adhesive.

Adhesive is the force of attraction between molecules of different kind. Liquid flows upward the wick because the adhesive force between the wick and the liquid is higher than cohesive forces in the liquid.

When the adhesive force between the wick and the liquid is high we have capillarity taking place. This cause the liquid to move up the wick.

The acceleration of a train moving from rest and its speed reaches 36m/sec in 9 sec

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

4 m/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration is defined as: Δv/Δt (the difference of the velocity over a time period in which happens that difference).

Remember that a difference is calculated by subtracting the initial value of a physical quantity from its final value.

In our case:

Δv = Vfinal - Vinitial = 36m/s - 0 m/s = 36m/s

Δt = 9s

a = Δv/Δt = 36m/s / 9s = 4m/s^2

A particle with a mass of 6.64 × 10–27 kg and a charge of +3.20 × 10–19 C is accelerated from rest through a potential differenc

blondinia [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass m = 6.64×10^-27kg

Charge q = 3.2×10^-19C

Potential difference V =2.45×10^6V

Magnetic field B =1.6T

The force in a magnetic field is given as Force = q•(V×B)

Since V and B are perpendicular i.e 90°

Force =q•V•BSin90

F=q•V•B

So we need to find the velocity

Then, K•E is equal to work done by charge I.e K•E=U

K•E =½mV²

K•E =½ ×6.64×10^-27 V²

K•E = 3.32×10^-27 V²

U = q•V

U = 3.2×10^-19 × 2.45×10^6

U =7.84×10^-13

Then, K•E = U

3.32×10^-27V² = 7.84×10^-13

V² = 7.84×10^-13 / 3.32×10^-27

V² = 2.36×10^14

V=√2.36×10^14

V = 1.537×10^7 m/s

So, applying this to force in magnetic field

F=q•V•B

F= 3.2×10^-19 × 1.537×10^7 ×1.6

F = 7.87×10^-12 N

Three collinear forces,F1=45N west,F2=63N east and an unknown force F3 are applied to an object.The resultant force of the three

Greeley [361]

Take east to be the positive direction. Then the resultant force from adding F₁ and F₂ is

F₁ + F₂ = (-45 N) + 63 N = 18 N

which is positive, so it's directed east.

To this we add a third force F₃ such that the resultant is 12 N pointing west, making it negative, so that

18 N + F₃ = -12 N

F₃ = -30 N

So F₃ has a magnitude of 30 N and points west.
