When the wind kicks up dust and sand, the dust grains are charged. The small grains tend to get a negative charge, and the large

grains a positive charge. The small grains are lifted higher by the wind.?

Answer:

Explanation:

Small grains are negatively charged by the wind while big grains is positively charged and remains at the ground . This process creates an electric field due to the presence of oppositely charged particles.

When ever electric field exists it is directed from a positive charge to a negative charge so the here electric field is towards an upwards direction.

An observer stands 24.7 m behind a marksman practicing at a rifle range. The marksman fires the rifle horizontally, the speed of
GaryK [48]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

     Velocity of bullet, c_{p} = 814.8 m/s

    Observer distance from marksman, d = 24.7 m

Let us assume that time necessary for report of rifle to reach the observer is t and will be calculated as follows.

               t = \frac{24.7}{343}      (velocity in air = 343 m/s)

                 = 0.072 sec

Now, before the observer hears the report the distance traveled by the bullet is as follows.

               d_{b} = c_{b} \times t

                          = 814.8 \times 0.072

                          = 58.66

                          = 59 (approx)

Thus, we can conclude that each bullet will travel a distance of 59 m.

Is the alien theory a scientific claim? Why or why not?
spin [16.1K]
I'm not sure what the alien Theory says or if there really is such a theory. If the theory says that aliens definitely exist and that they have visited Earth in the past then the theory is totally and completely without any kind of support. It's not scientific in any way because there is no evidence for such a claim. It may be thought to be probable but no solid evidence has ever been presented.

What is the sum of 9260 and 3240?
Ket [755]
The sum is the result of adding 9260 and 3240 together. Each number can be broken down into constituent parts in order to make addition easier. Each place in the number represents its value, so a 2 in the hundreds place represents 200.
You can separate numbers out this way to make it easier to add them. 9260 can be broken down into 9000+200+60 while 3240 is 3000+200+40. You can then add these six numbers together.

60+40 = 100
200+200 = 400
9000+3000 = 12000

Then add your three partial results together to receive the final answer:

12000+400+100 = 12500

A projectile is launched from ground level at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal. Neglect air resistance and consider t
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

just before landing the ground

Explanation:

Let the velocity of projection is u and the angle of projection is 30°.

Let T is the time of flight and R is the horizontal distance traveled. As there is no force acting in horizontal direction, so the horizontal velocity remains constant. Let the particle hits the ground with velocity v.

initial horizontal component of velocity, ux = u Cos 30

initial vertical component of velocity, uy = u Sin 30

Time of flight is given by

T = \frac{2u Sin\theta }{g}

Final horizontal component of velocity, vx = ux = u Cos 30

Let vy is teh final vertical component of velocity.

Use first equation of motion

vy = uy - gT

v_{y}=u_{y}- g \times \frac{2u Sin\theta }{g}

v_{y}=u Sin 30 - 2u Sin 30

vy = - u Sin 30

The magnitude of final velocity is given by

v = \sqrt{v_{x}^{2}+v_{y}^{2}}

v = \sqrt{\left (uCos 30  \right )^{2}+\left (uSin 30  \right )^{2}}

v = u

Thus, the velocity is same as it just reaches the ground.
