Sometimes arithmetic problems can be solved much more easily using the dimensional analysis approach. You focus on the units of the given information. Then, you manipulate them applying the laws of algebra where like units cancel, in order to end up with the unit of the unknown.

Given:
-50 nc/step
31 steps
Unknown: charge

Thus,
Charge = -50 nc/step * 31 steps =<em> -1550 nc</em>

Given that average speed is distance traveled divided by time, determine the values of m and n when the time it takes a beam of
schepotkina [342]
If speed = distance/time , then time = speed/distance.

So...

Speed of light = 3*10^8(m/s)
Average distance from Earth to Sun = 149.6*10^9(m)

Therefore, t=(3*10^8(m/s))/(149.6*10^9(m))

I hope this was a helpful explanation, please reply if you have further questions about the problem.

Good luck!

Suppose that air resistance cannot be ignored. For the position at which the person has jumped from the platform and the cord re
Kamila [148]

Answer:

The stretch cord stores potential energy as a result of stretching but due to kinetic energy, it will move back to its original state. Since air resistance is not being ignored in this case, it will experience a slight delay in stretching at first.

Explanation:

In case, where air resistance is being ignored the stretch cord will stretch as it normally does.              

  • Air resistance is a force that any object experiences as a result of its motion through the air.  

There are various factors that affect air resistance like speed, the density of air, area, the shape of an object etc. Meanwhile, the density of air changes with temperature or altitude. <em>Hence this force is not constant but is thought to be constant during short time frames.  </em>

An alloy is made of a material of specific gravity 7.87 and another material of specific gravity 4.50. The alloy of mass 750g ha
julsineya [31]

Answer:

13.9

Explanation:

Apparent weight is the normal force.  Sum of the forces on the alloy when it is submerged:

∑F = ma

N + B − W = 0

N + ρVg − mg = 0

6.6 + (0.78 × 1000) V (9.8) − (0.750) (9.8) = 0

V = 9.81×10⁻⁵

If x is the volume of the first material, and y is the volume of the second material, then:

x + y = 9.81×10⁻⁵

(7.87×1000) x + (4.50×1000) y = 0.750

Two equations, two variables.  Solve with substitution:

7870 (9.81×10⁻⁵ − y) + 4500 y = 0.750

0.772 − 7870 y + 4500 y = 0.750

0.0222 = 3370 y

y = 6.58×10⁻⁶

x = 9.15×10⁻⁵

The ratio of the volumes is:

x/y = 13.9

Which of these discoveries contradict components of Dalton’s atomic theory? Check all of the boxes that apply. Atoms contain sma
EastWind [94]

Explanation:

According to Dalton's atomic theory, all the atoms are individual, all the atoms of the same element are identical in properties and mass, the compound is formed from two or more kinds of the atoms, all the matter is made up of small atoms and the chemical reaction is a rearrangement of the atoms.

The discoveries which contradicts the components of Dalton's atomic theory from the given discoveries are:

Nuclear reactions can change an atom of one element into an atom of another element.

Atoms of a given element can have different numbers of neutrons.

Atoms contain smaller particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons.
