Answer:This quest took a huge leap forward in 2000 when Hubble studied the exoplanet HD 209458 b, the first extrasolar planet known to make “transits” across the face of its star. Hubble became the first telescope to directly detect an exoplanet's atmosphere and survey its makeup.

frutty [35]

Answer:

1. Motion

2. Empty space

3. Far apart

4. Independently

5. Random or rapid

6. Collision

7. Kinetic energy

8. Atmospheric

9. 273 Kelvin or 0° Celsius

10. 1 atm, 101.3 kPa or 760 mmHg

Explanation:

In science, matter can be defined as anything that has mass and occupies space. Any physical object that is found on earth is typically composed of matter. Matter are known to be made up of atoms and as a result has the property of existing in states.

Generally, matter exists in three (3) distinct or classical phases and these are;

I. Gas.

II. Solid.

III. Liquid.

Filling the missing words or texts in the question, we have;

The kinetic theory describes the motion of particles in matter and the forces of attraction between them. The theory assumes that the volume occupied by a gas is mostly empty space, that the particles of gas are relatively far apart, move independently of each other, and are in constant random or rapid motion. The collision between particles are perfectly elastic so that the total kinetic energy remains constant. Gas pressure results from the simultaneous collisions of billions of particles with an object. Barometers are used to measure atmospheric pressure. Standard conditions are defined as a temperature of 273 Kelvin or 0° Celsius and a pressure of 1 atm, 101.3 kPa or 760 mmHg.

When two oceanic plates converge, the plate with a greater density will subduct. This plate will partially melt, causing the for
N76 [4]

Answer:

Island arc

Explanation:

When two oceanic plates share a convergent type of plate boundary, the denser oceanic plate will subduct below the less dense oceanic plate. This will result in the formation of the subduction zone, where the rocks are being pulled down to the mantle. This subduction zone is typically marked by the presence of a narrow depression commonly known as an oceanic trench, that lies just above the zone.

The rocks of the subducting plate undergo partial melting and mix up with the magma that rises upwards towards the surface due to the force exerted by the convection currents. This later gives rise to the formation of volcanoes or a chain of volcanoes which are commonly known as an island arc.

Two blocks of masses m and 3m are placed on a frictionless, horizontal surface. A light spring is attached to the more massive b
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) Conservation of momentum is followed

m₁ v₁  = m₂ v₂

3m x 2 = m  v

v = 6 m/s

Total kinetic energy

= 1/2 x .35 x 6 ² + 1/2 x 1.05 x 2 ²

= 8.4 J

This energy must be stored as elastic energy in the spring which was released as kinetic energy on burning the cord.

Yes , the conservation of momentum will be followed  in the bursting apart process. Only internal forces have been involved in the process. Two equal and opposite internal forces are created by spring which creates motion and generates kinetic energy.
