When you jump,you push the earth downward.Why can’t you tell that the earth has moved?

The movement of the earth is so small, especially compared to you, that you don't realize it. This is because the earth's mass is so much greater than your mass.

A certain nuclear power plant is capable of producing 1.2×10^9 W of electric power. During operation of the reactor, mass is con
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

0.00016 kg

Explanation:  

Given:

Power = P = 1.2 × 10⁹ Watts

Power =  work done / Time

efficiency = 0.30

Input power = 1.2 × 10⁹ / 0.30 =  4  × 10⁹ W

Energy =  4  × 10⁹ x 60 x 60 = 1.44 x 10¹³ joules

E = m c² , where c is the speed of light and m is the mass.

⇒ mass = m = E / c²  = (1.44 x 10¹³) / (3 × 10⁸ )²

                                   = 0.00016 kg

Which answer explains why plate B is moving underneath plate A
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

Earth is composed of different layers and one layer moves over another due to differences in the densities.

According to the physics of density, a substance having less density floats over a higher density substance. The oceanic crust has more density than the continental crust that is why continental crust float over oceanic crust.

So in the given example, plate B is moving below the plate A, it means plate B is more dense than plate A because plate B is composed of oceanic crust . <u>For example : continents float over the asthenosphere (a layer below the lithosphere).</u>

Hence, the correct answer is "A ".

4. X-ray radiation from diffraction and fluorescence instruments is a) Not very dangerous because the X-rays are absorbed in the
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

c) Very dangerous and users must not override devices designed to protect from exposures.

Explanation:

X-ray is a form of high energy electromagnetic radiation and are part of the electromagnetic spectrum.

X-ray radiation from diffraction and fluorescence instruments is very dangerous because of their high energy and wavelength.

Hence, users must not override devices designed to protect from exposures. The best shielding device to protect one from exposure is Lead.

As a mass on a spring moves farther from the equilibrium position, how do the velocity, acceleration, and force change
Umnica [9.8K]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

m =  the mass of the object
x = the distance of the object from the equilibrium position at time t.
v = the velocity of the object at time t
a = the acceleration of the object at time t
A =  the amplitude ( the maximum distance) of the mass from the equilibrium
        position

The oscillatory motion of the object (without damping) is given by
x(t) = A sin(ωt)
where
ω =  the circular frequency of the motion
T =  the period of the motion so that ω = (2π)/T

The velocity and acceleration are respectively
v(t) = ωA cos(ωt)
a(t) = -ω²A sin(ωt)

In the equilibrium position,
x is zero;
v is maximum;
a is zero.

At the farthest distance (A) from the equilibrium position,
x is maximum;
v is zero;
a is zero.

In the graphs shown, it is assumed (for illustrative purposes) that
A = 1 and T = 1.

A boy shoves his stuffed toy zebra down a frictionless chute. It starts at a height of 1.69 m above the bottom of the chute with
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

x = 6.94 m

Explanation:

For this exercise we can find the speed at the bottom of the ramp using energy conservation

Starting point. Higher

            Em₀ = K + U = ½ m v₀² + m g h

Final point. Lower

            Em_{f} = K = ½ m v²

            Em₀ = Em_{f}

            ½ m v₀² + m g h = ½ m v²

            v² = v₀² + 2 g h

             

Let's calculate

             v = √(1.23² + 2 9.8 1.69)

             v = 5.89 m / s

In the horizontal part we can use the relationship between work and the variation of kinetic energy

            W = ΔK

            -fr x = 0- ½ m v²  

               

Newton's second law

              N- W = 0

     

The equation for the friction is

               fr = μ N

               fr = μ m g

We replace

             μ m g x = ½ m v²

             x = v² / 2μ g

Let's calculate

            x = 5.89² / (2 0.255 9.8)

            x = 6.94 m
