Answer:

How does the speaker know that the lump of metal she is holding is an asteroid?  

The patterns formed inside the metal She explains that the rock is older the earth and that it is an asteroid due to the patterns formed inside it that show it contains metallic crystals that cannot be formed on earth but in space where temperatures mean that molten metal takes billions of years to cool.  

How does the speaker “hunt” asteroids? Describe how teams of scientists collect data about asteroids.  

The speaker works with astroids she attempts to search for them for scientific use. She analyzes how long ago these rocks were coming acrost the earth. How many are in the universe.  

Both speakers describe the asteroid that hit Earth and caused a massive extinction, including the decimation of the dinosaurs. The speakers describe the size of this asteroid in different terms. Summarize each speaker’s description and explain which one gives you a better picture of the size of this asteroid.  

Debris from the impact orbiting around the Earth shielded sunlight, halting photosynthesis.  

The impact was so extreme that life at ground zero was vaporized.  

tsunamis, landslides, earthquakes, and heat caused by the impact killed organisms near the site of impact.  

Does Carrie Nugent agree with Phil Plait’s assessment that we can defend the Earth from asteroids? Why or why not?  

It seems as if she does agree. I believe she has strong intentions to defend the earth and to prevent there to be any more extinction for any more animals I believe she cares to explore and recover so if she could find a way to use the asteroids to her advantage she would.

Explanation:

Answer 2

6. How does the speaker know that the lump of metal she is holding is an asteroid?

- The speaker knows that the lump of metal she is holding is an asteroid because the patterns formed inside the metal. She explains that the rock is older than the earth and that it is an asteroid. This is due to the patterns formed inside it. These patterns show that it contains metallic crystals that cannot be formed on earth, but instead in space where temperatures mean that molten metal takes billions of years to cool.  The scientists also use representative sampling. This is done when they deal with such large quantities of objects for estimating.

7. How does the speaker “hunt” asteroids? Describe how teams of scientists collect data about asteroids.

- The speaker “hunts” for asteroids by attempting to search for them for scientific use. She analyzes how long ago these rocks were coming across the earth and how many are in the universe.  She also is classifying them by color and shape. Some of the objects can be classified into one or more categories and this could lead to disagreements on where they should or should not be listed. Also, the objects can be difficult to see properly.

8. Both speakers describe the asteroid that hit Earth and caused a massive extinction, including the decimation of the dinosaurs. The speakers describe the size of this asteroid in different terms. Summarize each speaker’s description and explain which one gives you a better picture of the size of this asteroid.

- The asteroid hit at high velocity and effectively vaporized. It made a huge crater, so in the immediate area there was total devastation. A huge blast wave and heatwave went out and it threw vast amounts of material up into the atmosphere. 'It sent soot travelling all around the world.

9. Does Carrie Nugent agree with Phil Plait’s assessment that we can defend the Earth from asteroids? Why or why not?

- I would say that it seems to me as though she does agree. I believe she has strong intentions to defend the earth and to prevent any more extinctions for any more animals. I believe she cares to explore and recover in order to hopefully help find a way to use asteroids to her advantage. On top of that, the object shown is an Irregular galaxy. This can be determined by the fact it has an irregular shape.

A)The Earth revolved approximately 90° around the Sun, and the gravitational attraction between the Moon and Sun increased.

B)The Earth completed one full rotation (360°), and the gravitational attraction between the Moon and the Beachview area increased.

C)The Earth completed one full revolution around the Sun (360°), and the gravitational attraction between the Moon and Sun decreased.

D)The Earth rotated approximately 90°, and the gravitational attraction between the Moon and the Beachview area decreased.

answer :  

The Earth rotated approximately 90°, and the gravitational attraction between the Moon and the Beachview area decreased.  ( D )

Explanation:

The movement of the Earth in the Galaxy occurs in two ways

namely: Rotation and Revolution and each movement comes has an effect on the earth, also each movement has a time frame as well.

The complete rotation of the earth about its axis takes about 24 hours and this rotation brings about Night and day and it also causes the rise and fall of tides. while the Revolution of the earth round brings about different seasons and it takes about 365 days for a complete revolution of the earth round the sun.

hence the the change in tides between 6:00 a.m. and noon that day is caused by The Earth rotating approximately 90°, and the gravitational attraction between the Moon and the Beachview area decreased.

what happens when two forces at same direction​

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

· If two forces are in the same direction, then one adds them to find the net force, which is the vector sum of these forces. However, when two forces act in opposite direction, one has to subtract the lesser force from the larger one to find the resulting force. The resultant is the direction of the larger of these two forces.

A boy rubs two balloons against his sweater. One balloon acquires a charge of 3.0 E -6 C. The other balloon acquires a charge of 2.5 E -7 C. If the balloons are positioned 1 cm apart, what is the electrical force between them?

Answers

Answer:

67.5 N

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Charge 1 (q₁) = 3.0×10¯⁶ C

Charge 2 (q₂) = 2.5×10¯⁷ C

Distance apart (r) = 1 cm

Force (F) =?

Next, we shall convert 1 cm to m. This can be obtained as follow:

100 cm = 1 m

Therefore,

1 cm = 1 cm × 1 m / 100 cm

1 cm = 0.01 m

Thus, 1 cm is equivalent 0.01 m.

Finally, we shall determine the electrical force between the two points charges as follow:

Charge 1 (q₁) = 3.0×10¯⁶ C

Charge 2 (q₂) = 2.5×10¯⁷ C

Distance apart (r) = 0.01 m

Electrical constant (K) = 9×10⁹ Nm²C¯²

Force (F) =?

F = Kq₁q₂ / r²

F = 9×10⁹ × 3.0×10¯⁶ × 2.5×10¯⁷ / (0.01)²

F = 0.00675 / 0.0001

F = 67.5 N

Therefore, the electrical force between the two points charges is 67.5 N

According to the law of conservation of energy, mechanical energy can be changed to heat energy.

Answers

Answer:

The answer to this question is given below in this explanation section.

Explanation:

                     " law of conservation of energy"

The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed only converted from one form of energy into another.This mean that a system always has a same account of a energy,unless it is added from the outside.This is particularly confusing in the case of non conversation forces,where energy is converted from ,mechanical energy into thermal energy.but the overall energy does remain the same.The only way to use energy is to transform energy from one form to another.

The amount of energy in any system than it is determined by the following equation.

Ut=Ui +W+Q

Ut is the total internal energy of a system.Ui is the initial internal energy of a system.W is the work done by or on the system.Q is the heat added to or removed by the system.

It is also possible to determined the change in internal energy of the system using the equation.

ΔU=W+Q

The mechanical energy of a system increases provided their is no loss of energy due to friction.The energy would transform to kinetic energy when the speed is increasing.Te mechanical energy of a system remain constant provided their is no loss of energy due to friction.

The law of conversation of energy which say that in a closed system total energy is conserved that is it constant.

How does the antireflective coating applied to the protective glass on a solar cell maximize the energy absorbed by the solar cell?


A. It helps the glass transmit the energy
B. It helps the glass reflect the energy that hits it
C. It stops the top semiconductor layer from absorbing too much energy
D. It stops the bottom semiconductor layer from absorbing too much energy ​

Answers

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The antireflective coating applied to the protective glass on a solar cell maximize the energy absorbed by the solar cell as it helps the glass transmit the energy. The correct option is A.

The antireflective coating added to the protective glass of a solar cell is intended to reduce light reflection from the glass's surface.

More light may flow through the glass and reach the solar cell underneath it by decreasing reflections. This permits the solar cell to absorb more energy from the sun, increasing its efficiency in converting light into electricity.

The antireflective coating guarantees that a larger proportion of incident light is passed through the glass by decreasing reflection, allowing the solar cell to gather and use more energy.

Thus, the correct option is A.

Answers

Answer:

The ball falls 0.3 m in the first 1/4 seconds, and it falls 0.92 m in the second 1/4 second

Explanation:

Horizontal Launch

When an object is thrown horizontally with a speed v from a height h, it describes a curved path ruled exclusively by gravity until it eventually hits the ground.

To calculate the vertical distance (y) traveled by the object in terms of the time (t) we use:

[tex]\displaystyle y=\frac{g.t^2}{2}[/tex]

The fastball is thrown horizontally. The distance the ball falls in t=1/4 seconds = 0.25 seconds, is:

[tex]\displaystyle y_1=\frac{9.8*0.25^2}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle y_1=0.30625\ m[/tex]

The distance the ball falls in t=1/2 seconds = 0.5 seconds is:

[tex]\displaystyle y_2=\frac{9.8*0.5^2}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle y_2=1.225\ m[/tex]

The distance it falls in the second 1/4 second is:

[tex]y_2-y_1=1.225\ m-0.30625\ m[/tex]

[tex]y_2-y_1=0.91875\ m[/tex]

The ball falls 0.3 m in the first 1/4 seconds, and it falls 0.92 m in the second 1/4 second

Answers

Answer:

22.5kg

Explanation:

Since we not told wat to find, we can as well find the mass of the beaver.

Kinetic energy formula is expressed as;

KE = 1/2mv²

m is the mass

v is the speed

Given

KE = 45Joules

v = 2.0m/s

Substitute into the formula and get the mass

45 = 1/2m(2)²

45 = 2m

m =45/2

m = 22.5kg

Hence the mass of the beaver is 22.5kg

An electron emitted from a filament is travelling at 1.5 x 105 m/s when it enters an acceleration of an electron gun in a television tube. It is constantly accelerated while travelling 0.01 m, and leaves the gun at 5.4 x 106 m/s. What was the acceleration of the electron

Answers

Answer:

The acceleration of the electron is 1.457 x 10¹⁵ m/s².

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the emitted electron, u = 1.5 x 10⁵ m/s

distance traveled by the electron, d = 0.01 m

final velocity of the electron, v = 5.4 x 10⁶ m/s

The acceleration of the electron is calculated as;

v² = u² + 2ad

(5.4 x 10⁶)² = (1.5 x 10⁵)² + (2 x 0.01)a

(2 x 0.01)a = (5.4 x 10⁶)² - (1.5 x 10⁵)²

(2 x 0.01)a = 2.91375 x 10¹³

[tex]a = \frac{2.91375 \ \times \ 10^{13}}{2 \ \times \ 0.01} \\\\a = 1.457 \ \times \ 10^{15} \ m/s^2[/tex]

Therefore, the acceleration of the electron is 1.457 x 10¹⁵ m/s².
