Answer:

The Sun-Earth-Moon system happens to exhibit a striking geometric coincidence, which we examine in the first problem. PROBLEM 1. To an observer on Earth, the Sun and the Moon subtend almost the same angle in the sky. The average angle is 0.52 degrees for the Moon and 0.53 degrees for the Sun.

Select all that apply. Which of the following are characteristics of acids? contain hydroxide ion or produce it in a solution ta

julia-pushkina [17]

These are the characteristics that apply:

- In a solution taste sour: which is consequence of the H+ concentration.

- Corrode metals: the H+ ion reacts with the metal producing a salt and water

-Produce hydronium ion in solution: as per the Bronsted - Lowry definition an acid is a substance that donates a proton, H+. This proton will react with H2O to form H3O+ (hydronium), as per this scheme:

HA + H2O --> A(-) + H3O(+)

A wire along the z axis carries a current of 6.8 A in the z direction Find the magnitude and direction of the force exerted on a

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

Force is 14.93N along positive y axis.

Explanation:

We know that force 'F' on a current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field of intensity B is given by

$\overrightarrow{F}=\overrightarrow{Il}\times \overrightarrow{B}$

where L is the length of the conductor

Applying values in the equation we have force F =

$\overrightarrow{F}=6.8\times 6.1\widehat{k}\times 0.36\widehat{i}\\\\\overrightarrow{F}=41.48\widehat{k}\times 0.36\widehat{i}\\\\\therefore \overrightarrow{F}=14.93N\widehat{j}$

Thus force is 14.93N along positive y axis.
