Answer:

This depends because the electrostatic force obeys the principle that states that force between both of the particles does not get affected by the charges of the other thus if the needle is getting attracted it possess negative charges( the opposite charge) .And if they repel it means they have the same charges ( positive charges).

Which measure of an earthquake depends on how close you are to the focus?

Vsevolod [243]

<span>The intensity of an earthquake is dependent on one's proximity to the focus of the quake, also called the "epicenter" and is based on observations of the shaking of the ground on humans, structures, and the natural landscape.</span>

Identifying What are five things

g100num [7]

Answer:

1. Naturally occuring

2. Solid

3. Inorganic

4. Crystalline

5. Specific Chemical Compostion

Explanation:

Minerals are inorganic, crystalline solids that occur during biogeochemical processes in nature like in cooled lava or evaporated sea water. Minerals are not rocks, but are actually the components that make up rocks. Though they vary in color and shape, each mineral has a distinct chemical composition.

1. Minerals are formed by natural geological processes. Most minerals form from molten lava, sea evaporation or hot liquids in caves or cracks. Laboratory-generated minerals like synthetic gems made for commercial purposes are not considered actual minerals.

2. Though minerals vary in shape, color, luster (the way a mineral reflects light) and hardness, all minerals are a solid at a given temperature. If a substance is not in its solid state, it is not currently a mineral. For example, ice is a mineral, but liquid water is not. The Mohr scale, rates a minerals hardness from one to 10, 10 being the hardest. Diamond is the hardest mineral. Talc is a very soft mineral with a Mohr rating of one.

3. Minerals are wholly inanimate, inorganic compounds. But there are exceptions to this qualifier. There are rare organic substances with definitive chemical compositions that are labeled as “organic minerals." The most famous of this oxymoronic exception is whewellite. Whewellite is a component of kidney stones and coal deposits.

4. Most minerals will grow into a crystal shape, space permitting. Mineral deposits are often small because there is usually a variety of minerals in the same vicinity competing for the same room to grow. A mineral’s crystalline structure determines its hardness, cleavage (how it breaks) and color. There are six different crystal shapes: cubic, tetragonal, orthohombic, hexagonal, monoclinic and triclinic.

5. A mineral is defined by its chemical composition. A rock, on the other hand, does not have a specific chemical composition because it is a composite of a variety of minerals. Minerals are classified based on their anionic group. The major mineral groups are native elements, sulfides, sulfosalts, oxides and hydroxides, halides, carbonates, nitrates, borates, sulfates, phosphates and silicates. Silica is abundant in the Earth’s crust, so silicates are the most common group of mineral.

A race car moving along a circular track has a centripetal acceleration of 15.4 m/s? If the car has

Helen [10]

Answer:

r = 58.44 [m]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following equation that relates the centripetal acceleration with the tangential velocity and the radius of rotation.

a = v²/r

where:

a = centripetal acceleration = 15.4 [m/s²]

v = tangential speed = 30 [m/s]

r = radius or distance [m]

r = v²/a

r = 30²/15.4

r = 58.44 [m]

Find the magnitude of the free-fall acceleration at the orbit of the Moon (a distance of 60RE from the center of the Earth with

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

The magnitude of the free-fall acceleration at the orbit of the Moon is $2.728\times 10^{-3}\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ ( $\frac{2.784}{10000}\cdot g$ , where $g = 9.8\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ ).

Explanation:

According to the Newton's Law of Gravitation, free fall acceleration ( $g$ ), in meters per square second, is directly proportional to the mass of the Earth ( $M$ ), in kilograms, and inversely proportional to the distance from the center of the Earth ( $r$ ), in meters:

$g = \frac{G\cdot M}{r^{2}}$ (1)

Where:

$G$ - Gravitational constant, in cubic meters per kilogram-square second.

$M$ - Mass of the Earth, in kilograms.

$r$ - Distance from the center of the Earth, in meters.

If we know that $G = 6.674\times 10^{-11}\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg\cdot s^{2}}$ , $M = 5.972\times 10^{24}\,kg$ and $r = 382.26\times 10^{6}\,m$ , then the free-fall acceleration at the orbit of the Moon is:
