Answer:

the expected distance is 4.32 m

Explanation:

given data

half life time = 1.8 × 10^{-8} s

speed = 0.8 c = 0.8 × 3 × 10^{8}

to find out

expected distance over

solution

we know c is speed of light in air is 3 × 10^{8} m/s

we calculate expected distance by given formula that is

expected distance = half life time × speed   .........1

put here all these value

expected distance = half life time × speed

expected distance = 1.8 × 10^{-8} ×  0.8 × 3 × 10^{8}

expected distance = 4.32

so the expected distance is 4.32 m

Several charges in the neighborhood of point P produce an electric potential of 6.0 kV (relative to zero at infinity) and an ele
Julli [10]

Answer:

0.018 J

Explanation:

The work done to bring the charge from infinity to point P is equal to the change in electric potential energy of the charge - so it is given by

W = q \Delta V

where

q=3.0 \mu C = 3.0 \cdot 10^{-6} C is the magnitude of the charge

\Delta V = 6.0 kV = 6000 V is the potential difference between point P and infinity

Substituting into the equation, we find

W=(3.0\cdot 10^{-6}C)(6000 V)=0.018 J

When driving in heavy rain, or on a flooded road, your tires can ride on a thin film of water like skis;
Simora [160]
The answer is letter a. It is best to slow down in situations of heavy rain or flooded road as skid could be the result if you lose out of control because the driver isn't slowing down. That is why it is being said that tires can ride on a thin film of water skis as it could skid if it has lost control if the driver hadn't slowed down.

A spring-powered dart gun is unstretched and has a spring constant 16.0 N/m. The spring is compressed by 8.0 cm and a 5.0 gram p
stepladder [879]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Spring constant = 16N/m

Extension of spring

x = 8cm = 0.08m

Mass

m = 5g =5/1000 = 0.005 kg

The ball will leave with a speed that makes its kinetic energy equal to the potential energy of the compressed spring.

So, Using conservation of energy

Energy in spring is converted to kinectic energy

So, Ux = K.E

Ux = ½ kx²

Then,

Ux = ½ × 16 × 0.08m²

Ux = 0.64 J

Since, K.E = Ux

K.E = 0.64 J

Urban cities like Atlanta have to contend with a serious problem like pollution. Drivers in California are testing out a car tha
riadik2000 [5.3K]

1. With this statement, the author is referring to the fact that the vehicles are one of the largest polluters of the air. In order to reduce the pollution, the vehicles that are used will need to be changed, and with it the pollution will decrease significantly. The reduction of the pollution will come because the vehicles on hydrogen will not cause any pollution, so the enormous amounts of carbon dioxide released from the combustion of the engines will be thing of the past.

2. There are several challenges with this type of vehicles in order for them to replace the fossil fuel driven ones. The big price is one of the factors, as the majority of the people can not afford these cars. Another problem is that these vehicles are not as fast as the fossil fuel driven ones, and lot of people enjoy fast driving, despite it not being safe. There are millions of vehicles out there on the roads, and changing all of them with hydrogen vehicles will take a lot of time, as lot of those vehicles are new ones, so the people will not be willing to just throw them away and leave them rot in their garages. In order for the change of the driving park to be accomplished, the prices should go down, the people to be more serious about the environment and its protection, and patience as several decades will probably be needed for a change like this to be competed.

3. The fuel celled cars are a viable answer to decrease the pollution, as they are not causing any pollution, but instead will stop the process of large emissions of carbon dioxide from the fossil fueled cars. While this method is a good one, it should not be the only, as on its own it can not have the desirable effect, but instead all the major polluters should be included in the process. The industry and the production of energy are one of the major polluters as well, so they will need to follow the example, as if they not, the problem will stay, considering that the industry is constantly growing and the demand for energy is constantly growing too.
