When the wind kicks up dust and sand, the dust grains are charged. The small grains tend to get a negative charge, and the large

grains a positive charge. The small grains are lifted higher by the wind.?

Answer:

Explanation:

Small grains are negatively charged by the wind while big grains is positively charged and remains at the ground . This process creates an electric field due to the presence of oppositely charged particles.

When ever electric field exists it is directed from a positive charge to a negative charge so the here electric field is towards an upwards direction.

wolverine [178]

Answer: Satellite technology allows us to monitor and track the changes in the polar ice sheets. This can help us plan and direct conservation efforts for the animals that depend on polar ice in order to survive.

Explanation:

A satellite orbits around Earth. We have different satellites for different purposes. A satellite has transmitter and receiver for sending and receiving information.  For the use of environment, only one statement seems correct that is: Satellite technology allows us to monitor and track the changes in the polar ice sheets. This can help us plan and direct conservation efforts for the animals that depend on polar ice in order to survive.

Rest options are true but not from the environment point of view.

We know that animals are dependent on the environment for their survival. polar ice caps are difficult to reach and monitor. For making conservation plan for the animals residing in these remote areas, satellite technology is very crucial.

Consider the following:
pychu [463]

Answer:

They have different wavelengths.

They have different frequencies.

They propagate at different speeds through non-vacuum media depending on both their frequency and the material in which they travel.

Explanation:

The complete question is

Consider the following:

a) radio waves emitted by a weather radar system to detect raindrops and ice crystals in the atmosphere to study weather patterns;

b) microwaves used in communication satellite transmissions;

c) infrared waves that are perceived as heat when you turn on a burner on an electric stove;

d) the multicolor light in a rainbow;

e) the ultraviolet solar radiation that reaches the surface of the earth and causes unprotected skin to burn; and

f) X rays used in medicine for diagnostic imaging.

Which of the following statements correctly describe the various forms of EM radiation listed above?

check all that apply to the above

They have different wavelengths.

They have different frequencies.

They propagate at different speeds through a vacuum depending on their frequency.

They propagate at different speeds through non-vacuum media depending on both their frequency and the material in which they travel.

They require different media to propagate.

All the above phenomena are due the electromagnetic wave spectrum. Electromagnetic waves travel at a constant speed of 3 x 10^8 m/s in a vacuum. Within the spectrum, the different types of electromagnetic waves exists in different band range of frequencies and wavelengths unique to each of the waves, and the energy they carry. When these waves enter a non-vacuum medium, their speed change, depending on the nature of the material of the medium, and the frequency or the wavelength of the incoming wave.

A star orbiting a black hole in a clockwise direction at a radial distance of 1.0 × 106 km is acted upon by a counterclockwise f
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

2.5 \times 10^{11} N-m upwards        

Explanation:

Torque is the vector cross product of the force and radial distance.

\tau = rF sin \theta

\tau = (1.0\times 10^6 \times 10^3) m \times 250 N\times sin 90^o \\\Rightarrow \tau= 2.5 \times 10^{11} N-m

The direction of the torque would be perpendicular to the direction of the force and radial distance. The direction of the force is counter-clockwise. The direction of the torque would be upwards.

A father demonstrates projectile motion to his children by placing a pea on his fork's handle and rapidly depressing the curved
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

4.17 m/s

Explanation:

To solve this problem, let's start by analyzing the vertical motion of the pea.

The initial vertical velocity of the pea is

u_y = u sin \theta = (7.39)(sin 69.0^{\circ})=6.90 m/s

Now we can solve the problem by applying the suvat equation:

v_y^2-u_y^2=2as

where

v_y is the vertical velocity when the pea hits the ceiling

a=g=-9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

s = 1.90 is the distance from the ceiling

Solving for v_y,

v_y = \sqrt{u_y^2+2as}=\sqrt{(6.90)^2+2(-9.8)(1.90)}=3.22 m/s

Instead, the horizontal velocity remains constant during the whole motion, and it is given by

v_x = u cos \theta = (7.39)(cos 69.0^{\circ})=2.65 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the pea when it hits the ceiling is

v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}=\sqrt{2.65^2+3.22^2}=4.17 m/s

Two speakers, A and B, produce identical sound waves. A listener is 3.2 m away from speaker A. The listener finds the lowest fre
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

  0.83 m or 5.57 m

Explanation:

Destructive interference will occur when the distances from the speakers differ by 1/2 wavelength.

The length of 1 cycle of 72.4 Hz is ...

  λ = v/f = (343 m/s)/(72.4 Hz) ≈ 4.738 m

So, the distance of the listener from speaker B is ...

  3.2 m ± (4.738 m)/2 = {0.83 m, 5.57 m} . . . either of these distances

_____

The location could be at additional multiples of 4.738 m, but we think not. The sound intensity drops off with the square of the distance from the speaker, so identical sound waves from the speakers will sound quite different at different distances from the speakers. For best interference, the distances need to be as close to the same as possible. That will be at 3.2 m and 5.57 m.

_____

<em>Comment on the speed of sound</em>

We don't know what speed you are to use for the speed of sound. We have used 343 m/s. Some sources use 340 m/s, which will give a result different by 2 or 3 cm.
