Answer: 1.D) Soil erosion will increase.

Explanation: Deforestation is the phenomena of removal of trees and clear cutting of the forest region so as to obtain the land for urban infrastructure, wood for furniture and for other needs. The deforestation will likely to increase and cause soil erosion due to urbanization. As, trees bind the soil with their roots which prevent the loss of soil due to erosion.

2. A) erosion

Explanation:

A clear cut logging can be define as the removal of the forested land where most of the trees are logged off. The removal of the trees from the roots will directly cause the erosion of the soil due to physical agents such as water and wind. This will deteriorate the quality of soil.

In a Hydrogen atom an electron rotates around a stationary proton in a circular orbit with an approximate radius of r =0.053nm.

leonid [27]

Answer:

(a): $F_e = 8.202\times 10^{-8}\ \rm N.$

(b): $F_g = 3.6125\times 10^{-47}\ \rm N.$

(c): $\dfrac{F_e}{F_g}=2.27\times 10^{39}.$

Explanation:

Given that an electron revolves around the hydrogen atom in a circular orbit of radius r = 0.053 nm = 0.053 $\times 10^{-9}$ m.

Part (a):

According to Coulomb's law, the magnitude of the electrostatic force of interaction between two charged particles of charges $q_1$ and $q_2$ respectively is given by

$F_e = \dfrac{k|q_1||q_2|}{r^2}$

where,

$k$ = Coulomb's constant = $9\times 10^9\ \rm Nm^2/C^2.$
$r$ = distance of separation between the charges.

For the given system,

The Hydrogen atom consists of a single proton, therefore, the charge on the Hydrogen atom, $q_1 = +1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C.$

The charge on the electron, $q_2 = -1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C.$

These two are separated by the distance, $r = 0.053\times 10^{-9}\ m.$

Thus, the magnitude of the electrostatic force of attraction between the electron and the proton is given by

$F_e = \dfrac{(9\times 10^9)\times |+1.6\times 10^{-19}|\times |-1.6\times 10^{-19}|}{(0.053\times 10^{-9})^2}=8.202\times 10^{-8}\ \rm N.$

Part (b):

The gravitational force of attraction between two objects of masses $m_1$ and $m_1$ respectively is given by

$F_g = \dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}.$

where,

$G$ = Universal Gravitational constant = $6.67\times 10^{-11}\ \rm Nm^2/kg^2.$
$r$ = distance of separation between the masses.

For the given system,

The mass of proton, $m_1 = 1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg.$

The mass of the electron, $m_2 = 9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg.$

Distance between the two, $r = 0.053\times 10^{-9}\ m.$

Thus, the magnitude of the gravitational force of attraction between the electron and the proton is given by

$F_g = \dfrac{(6.67\times 10^{-11})\times (1.67\times 10^{-27})\times (9.11\times 10^{-31})}{(0.053\times 10^{-9})^2}=3.6125\times 10^{-47}\ \rm N.$

The ratio $\dfrac{F_e}{F_g}$ :

$\dfrac{F_e}{F_g}=\dfrac{8.202\times 10^{-8}}{3.6125\times 10^{-47}}=2.27\times 10^{39}.$

Uranium-235 decays to thorium-231 with a half-life of 700 million years. When a rock was formed, it contained 6400 million urani

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

proof in explanation

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the number of half-lives:

$n = \frac{t}{t_{1/2}}$

where,

n = no. of half-lives = ?

t = total time passed = 2100 million years

$t_{1/2}$ = half-life = 700 million years

Therefore,

$n = \frac{2100\ million\ years}{700\ million\ years}\\\\n = 3$

Now, we will calculate the number of uranium nuclei left ( $n_u$ ):

$n_u = \frac{1}{2^{n} }(total\ nuclei)\\\\n_u = \frac{1}{2^{3} }(6400\ million)\\\\n_u = \frac{1}{8}(6400\ million)\\\\n_u = 800\ million$

and the rest of the uranium nuclei will become thorium nuclei ( $u_{th}$ )

$n_{th} = total\ nuclei - n_u\\n_{th} = 6400\ million-800\ million\\n_{th} = 5600\ million$

dividing both:

$\frac{n_{th}}{n_u}=\frac{5600\ million}{800\ million} \\\\n_{th} = 7n_u$

<u>Hence, it is proven that after 2100 million years there are seven times more thorium nuclei than uranium nuclei in the rock.</u>

If a an object is traveling at a rate of 5 meters per second squared with a force of 10 Newtons, what is the mass of the object?

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

2 kg

Explanation:

Acceleration = 5 m/s^2

Force = 10 N

Force = mass * acceleration

mass = force / acceleration

mass = 10 / 5

A cannonball is fired at a 45.0° angle and an initial velocity of 670 m/s. Assume no air resistance. What is the vertical compon

elixir [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given the initial velocity U = 670m/s

Horizontal velocity Ux = Ucos theta

Vertical component of the cannon velocity Uy = Usin theta

Given

U = 670m/s

theta = 45°

horizontal component of the cannonball’s velocity = 670 cos 45

horizontal component of the cannonball’s velocity = 670(0.7071)

horizontal component of the cannonball’s velocity = 473.757m/s

Vertical component of the cannonball’s velocity = 670 sin 45

Vertical component of the cannonball’s velocity = 670 (0.7071)

Vertical component of the cannonball’s velocity = 473.757m/s

Hence pair of answer is 473.8 m/s; 473.8 m/s

The block in the figure below has a mass of 5.1 kg and it rests on an incline of angle . You pull on the rope with a force F = 3

viktelen [127]

42.9°

Explanation:

Let's assume that the x-axis is aligned with the incline and the positive direction is up the incline. We can then apply Newton's 2nd law as follows:

$x:\;\;\;\;F - mg\sin{\theta} = 0\;\;\;\;$

$\Rightarrow mg\sin{\theta} = F$

Note that the net force is zero because the block is moving with a constant speed when the angle of the incline is set at $\theta.$ Solving for the angle, we get

$\sin{\theta} = \dfrac{F}{mg}$

$\theta = \sin^{-1}\left(\dfrac{F}{mg}\right)$

$\;\;\;= \sin^{-1}\left[\dfrac{34\:\text{N}}{(5.1\:\text{kg})(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)}\right]$

$\;\;\;=42.9°$
