Calculate the magnitude of the gravitational force

Most ocean waves obtain their energy and motion from _____. the moon's gravitational attraction the sun plate movement the wind

IrinaVladis [17]

Hello!

Most ocean waves obtain their energy and motion from the wind.

Ocean waves are surface waves that move across the surface of the ocean. When wind touches the surface of the water, there is friction in the contact zone. This friction causes a drag effect, that makes wrinkles on the surface of the water. As the wrinkles get bigger, they transform into full-blown waves, and the taller the wave, the more energy it can extract from the wind, making them even bigger and to move longer distances.

Have a nice day!

Two steamrollers begin 100 m apart and head toward each other, each at a constant speed of 1.00 m/s . At the same instant, a fly

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

The fly travels 2.4 m

Explanation:

Since the Two steamrollers begin 100 m apart and head toward each other, each at a constant speed of 1.00 m/s, we can find the time until they crash by the formula:

Distance = Speed × Time

Time = Distance /Speed

Time = (100 m) / (1 m/s)

Time = 100 hours

Now, the fly will spend the same amount of time traveling as the steamrollers.

Since the fly moves at a speed of 2.4 m/s and we have a time of one hour the steamroller take to collide, then the fly will go a distance of;

Distance = speed x time = 2.4 × 1 = 2.4 m

Establishing a potential difference The deflection plates in an oscilloscope are 10 cm by 2 cm with a gap distance of 1 mm. A 10

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

$1.62\times 10^{-8}\ \text{s}$

Explanation:

$\epsilon_0$ = Vacuum permittivity = $8.854\times 10^{-12}\ \text{F/m}$

$A$ = Area = $10\times 2\times 10^{-4}\ \text{m}^2$

$d$ = Distance between plates = 1 mm

$V_c$ = Changed voltage = 60 V

$V$ = Initial voltage = 100 V

$R$ = Resistance = $1000\ \Omega$

Capacitance is given by

$C=\dfrac{\epsilon_0A}{d}\\\Rightarrow C=\dfrac{8.854\times 10^{-12}\times 10\times 2\times 10^{-4}}{1\times 10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow C=1.7708\times 10^{-11}\ \text{F}$

We have the relation

$V_c=V(1-e^{-\dfrac{t}{CR}})\\\Rightarrow e^{-\dfrac{t}{CR}}=1-\dfrac{V_c}{V}\\\Rightarrow -\dfrac{t}{CR}=\ln (1-\dfrac{V_c}{V})\\\Rightarrow t=-CR\ln (1-\dfrac{V_c}{V})\\\Rightarrow t=-1.7708\times 10^{-11}\times 1000\ln(1-\dfrac{60}{100})\\\Rightarrow t=1.62\times 10^{-8}\ \text{s}$

The time taken for the potential difference to reach the required level is $1.62\times 10^{-8}\ \text{s}$ .

If an object is moving eastward and slowing down, then the direction of its acceleration is

Alchen [17]

C. Eastward. Acceleration is the change in speed so it can be a positive (speeding up) or negative (slowing down) acceleration

use what you have learned so far about heat transfer to explain how hot rocks can be used to make steam?

Anna [14]

If you throw water on anything hot enough, the liquid water turns to steam. With this method, you can create an energy source.
