This is because, nuclear forces are short range forces.

The protons and neutrons are collectively called nucleons and they are found in the nucleus of an atom. These nucleons are held together by a strong attractive force called the nuclear force.

When atoms combine, they are held together by forces determined by electrons in the outermost shell. The influence of the nuclear force does not extend beyond the nucleus because they are short range forces.

Hence, we not consider the strong nuclear force when we describe the forces between atoms.

D. are brought from the mantle to the surface in magma that hardens into komatiite.

Explanation:

Diamond :

It is the hardest form of carbon.The atomic atoms arrange in the cubic crystal structure and this is known as diamond cubic.Another form of the diamond at room temperature is graphite.This is used for making jewelry.This is also used in the cutting process because it has high strength.

Therefore the correct option for the diamond is D.

The 1.5-kg collar C starts from rest at A and slides with negligible friction on the fixed rod in the vertical plane. Determine

arlik [135]

Answer:

Explanation:

check attached image for figure, there is supposed to be a figure for this question containing a distance(height of collar at position A) but i will assume 0.2m or 200mm

Consider the energy equilibrium of the system

$U_{A-B}=\bigtriangleup T\\\\F\cos 30°\times h_A - F\sin30°\times h_A + Wh_A=\frac{1}{2}m(v^2_B-v^2_A)\\\\v_B=\sqrt{\frac{2Fh_A(\cos 30° - \sin30°)+mgh_A}{m+v^2_A}}$

Here, F is the force acting on the collar, $h_A$ is the height of the collar at position A, m is the mass of the collar C, g is the acceleration due to gravity, $v_B$ is the velocity of the collar at position B, and $v_A$ is the velocity of the collar at A

Substitute 14.4N for F, 0.2m for $h_A$ , 1.5kg for m, $9.81m/s^2$ for g and 0 for $v_A$

$v_B=\sqrt{\frac{2(14.4\times 0.2(\cos 30° - \sin30°)+1.5\times 9.81\times 0.2}{1.5+0}}\\\\=\sqrt{\frac{6.618}{1.5}}\\\\=4.412m/s$

Therefore, the velocity at which the collar strikes the end B is 4.412m/s

A vertical spring with a spring constant of 310 N/m is mounted on the floor. From directly above the spring, which is unstrained

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

7.3cm above the compressed spring.

Explanation:

We can use the conservation energy theorem to solve this problem:

$U_{1}+K_1=U_e+U_2+K_2\\m*g*h+0=\frac{1}{2}k*x^2+0+0\\\\h=\frac{k*x^2}{2*m*g}\\\\h=\frac{310N/m*(3.6*10^{-2})^2}{2*0.28kg*9.8m/s^2}\\\\h=0.073m$

The block was dropped 7.3cm above the compressed spring.

The beautiful Multnomah Falls in Oregon are approximately 206m high. If the Columbia river is flowing horizontally at 2.90m/s ju

zhenek [66]

Answer:

The overall velocity of the water when it hits the bottom is:

$v_f=63.61\ \frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

Use the law of conservation of energy.

Call it instant [1] to the moment when the water is just before reaching the falls.

At this moment its height h is 206 meters and its velocity horizontally $v_i$ is $v_i = 2.90$ m/s.

At the instant [1] the water has gravitational power energy $E_g$

$E_g = mgh$

The water also has kinetic energy Ek.

$E_k = 0.5mv_i ^ 2$

Then the Total E1 energy is:

$E_1 = mgh + 0.5mv_i ^ 2$

In the instant [2] the water is within an instant of touching the ground. At this point it only has kinetic energy, since the height h = 0. However at time [2] the water has maximum final velocity $v_f$

So:

$E_2 = 0.5mv_f ^ 2$

As the energy is conserved then $E_1 = E_2$

$mgh + 0.5mv_i ^ 2 = 0.5mv_f ^ 2$

Now we solve for $v_f$ .

$gh + 0.5v_i ^ 2 = 0.5v_f ^ 2\\\\9.8(206) + 0.5(2.90) ^ 2 = 0.5v_f 2\\\\v_f^2 = \frac{9.8(206) + 0.5(2.90) ^ 2}{0.5}\\\\v_f = \sqrt{\frac{9.8(206) + 0.5(2.90) ^ 2}{0.5}}\\\\v_f=63.61\ \frac{m}{s}$
