Askateboarder wants to cross a large playground and notices that there are large shapes painted on its asphalt surface. one shape is a large circle that covers the entire playground. inscribed in that circle is a square, with one point at the skateboarder’s feet and the other at his destination. the surface is rough and, therefore, friction is present. what path does he follow in order to minimize the work done by nonconservative forces? the square. the path does not matter. the circle.

You charge a parallel-plate capacitor, remove it from the battery, and prevent the wires connected to the plates from touching each other. when you increase the plate separation, what happens to the following quantities?

An electron is ejected into a horizontal uniform e⃗ field at a parallel horizontal velocity of v0. assume the electron's initial position x0, initial velocity v0, time t, magnitude of electric field e, electron's mass m, and the magnitude of the electron's charge |e|. ignore the force that earth exerts on the electron. assume the e⃗ field is in the same direction as the initial velocity. part a define the equation for the electron's velocity. express your answer in terms of the variables v0, |e|, t, e, and m.

Which sentence indicates that curium is a not a mineral? curium is a chemical element. it is a hard metal that looks like silver in light and glows red in the dark. it was first identified by american scientists working with nuclear energy during world war ii. the scientists, who included glenn seaborg, ralph james, and albert ghiorso, named the element after marie and pierre curie, nobel prize-winning scientists. they found that this human-made element is created when plutonium is bombarded with alpha-particles using a cyclotron. curium is a highly radioactive substance. it is extremely hazardous to human health. on entering the human body, it can hamper the production of red blood corpuscles and cause cancer. however, scientists continue to produce the element for its usefulness in scientific research. for example, it scientists understand the composition of rocks and soil on mars and can also be used to produce thermal energy. scientists have succeeded in producing many curium compounds, such as curium dioxide and curium chloride. these compounds are also used primarily in scientific research.
