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.

During the first 6 years of its operation, the Hubble Space Telescope circled the Earth 37,000 times, for a total of 1,280,000,0
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

v = 384km/min

Explanation:

In order to calculate the speed of the Hubble space telescope, you first calculate the distance that Hubble travels for one orbit.

You know that 37000 times the orbit of Hubble are 1,280,000,000 km. Then, for one orbit you have:

d=\frac{1,280,000,000km}{37,000}=34,594.59km

You know that one orbit is completed by Hubble on 90 min. You use the following formula to calculate the speed:

v=\frac{d}{t}=\frac{34,594.59km}{90min}=384.38\frac{km}{min}\approx384\frac{km}{min}

hence, the speed of the Hubble is approximately 384km/min

In a real world trampoline, how do gymnasts keep a constant bounce height
kkurt [141]
By using common factors of physics: weight, gravity, and stability. 
Weight would keep them at a constant height.
Gravity helps the weight and how much force it propels the person, or objects, into the air.
Stability helps adjust how much distance the person, or object, needs to be.

Harnessing the sun's energy to produce heat or electricity is _____.. A. non-polluting . B.inexpensive . C. possible only in coa
Jobisdone [24]
Harnessing the sun's energy to produce heat or electricity is : A. Non - Polluting

This energy generating method will cause no dangerous emission for environment (unlike the one that came from fossil fuel), but the energy that produced from the sun tend to be more expensive so it's still not widely used
