Answer:

What is most widely accepted today is a the giant-impact theory. It proposes that the Moon formed during a collision between the Earth and another small planet, about the size of Mars. The debris from this impact collected in an orbit around Earth to form the Moon.

A sphere of radius r = 5cm carries a uniform volume charge density rho = 400 nC/m^3. Q. What is the total charge Q of the sphere

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

The total charge Q of the sphere is $2.094\times10^{-10}\ C$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius = 5 cm

Charge density $J= 400\ nC/m^3$

We need to calculate the total charge Q of the sphere

Using formula of charge

$q=\rho V$

Where, $\rho$ = charge density

V = volume

Put the value into the formula

$q=\rho\times(\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3)$

Put the value into the formula

$q=\dfrac{4}{3}\times\pi\times400\times10^{-9}\times(5\times10^{-2})^3$

$q=2.094\times10^{-10}\ C$

Hence, The total charge Q of the sphere is $2.094\times10^{-10}\ C$ .

A 0.500 H inductor is connected in series with a 93 Ω resistor and an ac source. The voltage across the inductor is V = −(11.0V)

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

205 V

V $_{R}$ = 2.05 V

Explanation:

L = Inductance in Henries, (H) = 0.500 H

resistor is of 93 Ω so R = 93 Ω

The voltage across the inductor is

$V_{L} = - IwLsin(wt)$

w = 500 rad/s

IwL = 11.0 V

Current:

I = 11.0 V / wL

= 11.0 V / 500 rad/s (0.500 H)

= 11.0 / 250

I = 0.044 A

Now

V $_{R}$ = IR

= (0.044 A) (93 Ω)

V $_{R}$ = 4.092 V

Deriving formula for voltage across the resistor

The derivative of sin is cos

V $_{R}$ = V $_{R}$ cos (wt)

Putting V $_{R}$ = 4.092 V and w = 500 rad/s

V $_{R}$ = V $_{R}$ cos (wt)

= (4.092 V) (cos(500 rad/s )t)

So the voltage across the resistor at 2.09 x 10-3 s is which means

t = 2.09 x 10⁻³

V $_{R}$ = (4.092 V) (cos (500 rads/s)(2.09 x 10⁻³s))

= (4.092 V) (cos (500 rads/s)(0.00209))

= (4.092 V) (cos(1.045))

= (4.092 V)(0.501902)

= 2.053783

V $_{R}$ = 2.05 V

A car slows down from 80 km/h to 60 km/h in 2 seconds.

Andreyy89

Answer:

please mark brainlist

Explanation:

Initial speed u=80 km/h=80×185=22.22 m/s

Final speed v=60 km/h=60×185=16.67 m/s

Using v=u+at

Or 16.67=22.22+α×5

⟹ a=−1.1 m/s2

Why is the ocean warmer than the air at night

Sliva [168]

You see, during the day the ocean collects heat from the sun. So the air above the ocean get warm at night, but the rest of the air on the land gets cooler because water has the ability to collect energy from the Sun.

a mass of 1.00 kg of water at temperature T is poured from a height of 0.100 km into a vessel containing water of the same tempe

Mariana [72]

Answer:

1.34352 kg

Explanation:

$m_w$ = Mass of water falling = 1 kg

h = Height of fall = 0.1 km

$\Delta T$ = Change in temperature = 0.1

c = Specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg K

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

$m_v$ = Mass of water in the vessel

Here the potential energy will balance the internal energy

$m_wgh=m_wc\Delta T+m_vc\Delta T\\\Rightarrow m_v=\dfrac{m_wgh-m_wc\Delta T}{c\Delta T}\\\Rightarrow m_v=\dfrac{m_wgh}{c\Delta T}-m_w\\\Rightarrow m_v=\dfrac{1\times 9.81\times 100}{4186\times 0.1}-1\\\Rightarrow m_v=1.34352\ kg$

Mass of the water in the vessel is 1.34352 kg
