Answer:

Air molecules and suspended water droplets collide as they swirl around in the clouds. Warmer air and water droplets rise, carrying charges with them. The result is an excess of positive charge near the cloud tops, and an excess of negative charge in the bottom layers of the clouds.

they are knocked off some ice and added to other ice as they crash past each other

Two fish swimming in a river have the following equations of motion:

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

The second fish, X2, is moving faster than the first fish, X1

Explanation:

The given parameters for the equation of motion of the fishes are;

X1 = -6.4 m + (-1.2 m/s)×t

X2 = 1.3 m + (-2.7 m/s)×t

The given equation are straight line equations in the slope and intercept form, where the slope is the speed and in m/s and the intercept is the starting point of swimming of the fishes

For the first fish, the intercept = -6.4 m, the slope = the speed = -1.2 m/s

For the second fish, the intercept = 1.3 m, the slope = the speed = -2.7 m/s

Whereby the fishes are swimming in the opposite direction of the measurement of length, we have;

The magnitude of the speed of the second fish $\left | -2.7 \ m/s \right | = 2.7 \ m/s$ , is larger than the magnitude of the speed of the first fish $\left | -1.2 \ m/s \right | = 1.2 \ m/s$

Therefore, the second fish, X2, is moving faster than the first fish, X1.

True or False: If a point charge has electric field lines that point into it, the charge must be positive.

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

If a point charge has electric field lines point into it,then charge must be negative because electric lines point into negative charges and point out of positive charges

A 3.50-meter length of wire with a cross-sectional area of 3.14 × 10-6 meter2 is at 20° Celsius. If the wire has a resistance of

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

$5.6\times 10^{-8}\ Ohm.m$

Explanation:

Resistivity is given by $\rho=\frac {AR}{L}$ where A is cross-sectional area, R is resistance, L is the length and $\rho$ is the reistivity. Substituting 0.0625 for R, 3.14 × 10-6 for A and 3.5 m for L then the resistivity is equivalent to

$\rho=\frac {3.14\times 10^{-6}\times 0.0625}{3.5}=5.60714285714285714285714285714285714285\times 10^{-8}\approx 5.6\times 10^{-8}\ Ohm.m$
