Answer:

B

Explanation:

The heat from radioactive processes within the planet's interior causes the plates to move, sometimes toward and sometimes away from each other. This movement is called plate motion, or a tectonic shift.

A block is pulled across a flat surface at a constant speed using a force of 50 newtons at an angle of 60 degrees above the hori
vladimir2022 [97]

The magnitude of the friction force is 25 N

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we just have to analyze the forces acting on the block along the horizontal direction. We have:

  • The horizontal component of the pulling force, F cos \theta, where F = 50 N is the magnitude and \theta=60^{\circ} is the angle between the direction of the force and the horizontal; this force acts in the  forward direction
  • The force of friction, F_f, acting in the backward direction

According to Newton's second law, the net force acting on the block in the horizontal direction must be equal to the product between the mass of the block and its acceleration:

\sum F_x = ma_x

where

m is the mass of the block

a_x is the horizontal acceleration

However, the block is moving at constant speed, so the acceleration is zero:

a_x = 0

So the equation becomes

\sum F_x = 0 (1)

The net force here is given by

\sum F_x = F cos \theta - F_f (2)

And so, by combining (1) and (2), we find the magnitude of the friction force:

F cos \theta - F_f = 0\\F_f = F cos \theta = (50)(cos 60^{\circ})=25 N

Two point charges are fixed on the y axis: a negative point charge q1 = -25 μC at y1 = +0.18 m and a positive point charge q2 at
dedylja [7]

Answer:

50.91 \mu C

Explanation:

The magnitude of the net force exerted on q is known, we have the values and positions for q_{1} and q. So, making use of coulomb's law, we can calculate the magnitude of the force exerted byq_{1} on q. Then we can know the magnitude of the force exerted by q_{2} about q, finally this will allow us to know the magnitude of q_{2}

q_{1} exerts a force on q in +y direction, and q_{2} exerts a force on q in -y direction.

F_{1}=\frac{kq_{1} q }{d^2}\\F_{1}=\frac{(8.99*10^9)(25*10^{-6}C)(8.4*10^{-6}C)}{(0.18m)^2}=58.26 N\\

The net force on q is:

F_{T}=F_{1} - F_{2}\\25N=58.26N-F_{2}\\F_{2}=58.26N-25N=33.26N\\\mid F_{2} \mid=\frac{kq_{2}q}{d^2}

Rewriting for q_{2}:

q_{2}=\frac{F_{2}d^2}{kq}\\q_{2}=\frac{33.26N(0.34m)^2}{8.99*10^9\frac{Nm^2}{C^2}(8.4*10^{-6}C)}=50.91*10^{-6}C=50.91 \mu C

A gas is collected from a radioactive material; upon inspection, the gas is identified as helium. the presence of the helium ind
Flura [38]
The presence of helium gas indicates the radioactive sample is most likely decaying by α-decay, or alpha decay. α-decay is the type of radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits α particles. α particles are Helium nuclei. So the correct answer would be α-decay.
