The phases of the moon depend on how much of the lighted side of the moon can be seen from earth.is this true or false

What did Thomson contribute to the model of atom

Ganezh [65]

<h3>Answer;</h3>

Electrons 

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

Thomson contributed to the model of an atom by discovery of electrons and thus proving the existence of sub-atomic particles in an atom.
Thomson used cathode ray tube, and demonstrated that cathode rays were negatively charged. According to his model normally known as the plum pudding in which he stated that an atom is composed of electrons as subatomic particles that are surrounded by positive charges to balance the electrons.

A NASA satellite has just observed an asteroid that is on a collision course with the Earth. The asteroid has an estimated mass,

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

v = 7934.2 m/s

Explanation:

Here the total energy of the Asteroid and the Earth system will remains conserved

So we will have

$-\frac{GMm}{r} + \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2 = -\frac{GMm}{R} + \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

now we know that

$v_0 = 660 m/s$

$M = 5.98 \times 10^{24} kg$

$m = 5 \times 10^9 kg$

$r = 4 \times 10^9 m$

$R = 6.37 \times 10^6 m$

now from above formula

$GMm(\frac{1}{R} - \frac{1}{r}) + \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

now we have

$2GM(\frac{1}{R} - \frac{1}{r}) + v_0^2 = v^2$

now plug in all data

$2(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(5.98 \times 10^{24})(\frac{1}{6.37 \times 10^6} - \frac{1}{4 \times 10^9}) + (660)^2 = v^2$

$v = 7934.2 m/s$

The water in a river flows uniformly at a constant speed of 2.50 m/s between parallel banks 80.0 m apart. You are to deliver a p

NISA [10]

Answer:

a) The swimmer should travel perpendicular to the bank to minimize the spent in getting to the other side.

b) 133.33 m

c) 53.13°

d) 106.67 m

Explanation:

a) The swimmer should travel perpendicular to the bank to minimize the spent in getting to the other side.

b) velocity = distance * time

Let the velocity of the swimmer be $v_{s}$ = 1.5 m/s

The separation of the two sides of the river, d = 80 m

The time taken by the swimmer to get to the other end of the river bank,

$t = \frac{d}{v_{s} }$

t = 80/1.5

t = 53.33 s

The swimmer will be carried downstream by the river through a distance, s

Let the velocity of the river be $v_{r}$ = 2.5 m/s

$S = v_{r} t$

S = 53.33 * 2.5

S = 133.33 m

c) To minimize the distance traveled by the swimmer, his resultant velocity must be perpendicular to the velocity of the swimmer relative to water

That is ,

$cos \theta = \frac{v_{s} }{v_{r} } \\cos \theta = 1.5/2.5\\cos \theta = 0.6\\\theta = cos^{-1} 0.6\\\theta = 53.13^{0}$

d) Downstream velocity of the swimmer, $v_{y} = v_{s} sin \theta\\$

$v_{y} = 1.5 sin 53.13\\v_{y} = 1.2 m/s$

The vertical displacement is given by, $y = v_{y} t$

80 = 1.2 t

t = 80/1.2

t = 66.67 s

the horizontal speed,

$v_{x} = 2.5 - 1.5cos53.13\\v_{x} = 1.6 m/s$

The downstream horizontal distance of the swimmer, $x = v_{x} t$

x = 1.6 * 66.67

x = 106.67 m

The image formed by a plane mirror is _____.

Thepotemich [5.8K]

The image formed by a plane mirror is virtual, upright and the same size with the actual object. The upright image of an object in a plane mirror is can be found on the other side of the mirror which is why it is also virtual.
