Answer:
Only a backward force is acting, no forward force.
Explanation:
- Once released from the initial push, in absence of friction, the shopping cart would continue moving forward at a constant speed forever.
- As it would move at a constant speed, no net force would be acting on it.
- So, if it is gradually slowing, there must be a net force producing an acceleration in a direction opposite to the movement.
- This force is the kinetic friction force, and is the only force acting on the cart in the horizontal direction.
- As any friction force, opposes to the relative movement between the cart and the horizontal floor, which means that is directed backward.
- This is consistent with the direction of the acceleration of the cart.
Answer:
From what I see, it's saying that every minute, the ant can move 30 meters. So how many meter would it move in 45 minutes?
30 meters = 1 min
x meters = 45 min
1 min x 45 = 45 min
30 meters x 45 = 1,350 meters
So, I believe the answer would be 1,350 meters.
hope this helps. :>
Answer:
2200000 = 2.2E6 min for light from Proxima to reach earth
8.3 min from light sun to reach earth
2.2E6/8.3 = 2.56E5 times for light from Proxima
Proxima is about 256,000 times farther away than the sun
Since the sun is about 93,000,000 = 9.3E7 miles from earth
Proxima is then 9.3E7 * 2.56E5 = 2.4E13 miles away
Note - the speed of light is
3.00E8 m/s * 60 s/min / 1000 m/km = 1.8E7 km/min as given
Answer:
The earth's magnetic field protects the surface from strong electrical currents coming from the sun
Explanation:
The Earth's magnetic field called the “magnetosphere” – protects our atmosphere from the “solar wind.” That's the constant stream of charged particles flowing outward from the sun. When the magnetosphere shields the Earth from these solar particles, they get funneled toward the polar regions of our atmosphere.
The Earth's magnetic field serves to deflect most of the solar wind, whose charged particles would otherwise strip away the ozone layer that protects the Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation. One stripping mechanism is for gas to be caught in bubbles of magnetic field, which are ripped off by solar winds.
