In normal Newtonian physics, it is usually considered that the Moon revolves around the Earth. With a lower mass, the Moon is affected by the Earth’s gravity more than the Earth is affected by the Moon. The two bodies orbit around the barycenter, a point of gravitational equilibrium approximately 3/4 of the Earth’s radius from the center of the planet.

The motions of these celestial bodies depend on your point of reference, and the mass of the bodies. The Earth, Moon, Sun, and the other planets are traveling in eccentric paths around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, which is itself moving relative to the other galaxies in the vicinity.

Objects take on______ when they are lifted against the force of gravity to a position where they have the potential to fall.

Papessa [141]

A. because you haven't released the object so therefor the potential gravity force applied becomes actual when released.

Now imagine that you're waiting for your soup to cool down, and you leave it on the counter while you go do your homework. Your

Explanation:

Generally, heat flows from a hot environment to a cold (lesser temperature) environment. In this case, the soup is the hot environment and the air is the cold temperature.

Heat would continue to flow from one environment to another until thermal equilibrium is reached. At this thermal equilibrium, both environments would have the same temperature.

A fixed quantity of gas fills a volume of 10.6 liters at 638 torr and 83 C. Find the volume it will occupy if the pressure is 10

sukhopar [10]

According to this formula:
(P1V1) / T1 = (P2V2) / T2

convert T from C° to Kelvin:
T1 = 83 + 273 = 356 K
T2= 96 + 273 = 369 K

convert P from torr to atm:
1 torr = 0.00131578947 atm<span>
p1 = 0.839474 atm
P2 = 1.415789 atm
By substitution in the previous formula:
(0.839474 x 10.6 ) / (356) = ( 1.415789 x V2 ) / 369
So:
V2 = 6.5 L</span>

Which of the following statements is true about what happens during a chemical reaction?

tiny-mole [99]

Answer: The correct option is A.

Explanation: In a chemical reaction, reactants react to form a number of products.

For the formation of products, the bonds of the individual reactants must be broken and the bonds of the products must be formed.

For example: Formation of water from hydrogen gas and oxygen gas. Reaction follows:

$2H_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)$
