Answer:

15: Animals are able to detect the first of an earthquake's seismic waves—the P-wave, or pressure wave, that arrives in advance of the S-wave, or secondary, shaking wave. This likely explains why animals have been seen snapping to attention, acting confused or running right before the ground starts to shake.

16: No, it is not even remotely true. Microwaves cook food from the outside in, just like a regular oven. In fact, most of the cooking on the inside of the food, depending on its thickness, is done by heat conduction from the outside surfaces inwards, as the microwaves do not actually penetrate that far into the food.

In the Compton effect, the wavelength of the scattered photon is __________ the wavelength of the incident photon.

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

he wavelength is different (greater) than the wavelength of the incident photon

Explanation:

The Compton effect is the scattering of a photon by an electron, this process is analyzed using the conservation of momentum, in which we assume that initially the electron is at rest and after the collision it recedes, therefore the energy of the incident photon decreases and consequently its wavelength changes

To complete the sentence we use the wavelength is different (greater) than the wavelength of the incident photon

What did physicist James Joule's famous paddle wheel experiment demonstrate?

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

<u>Answer </u>

A. that the initial gravitational potential energy of the masses transformed into kinetic energy of the paddles and then to thermal energy in the water

<u>Explanation</u>

James Joule allowed some water to fall from a height of 1 foot. the water would turn a paddle wheel at the bottom causing a temperature of water to raise.

The height form which the water fell, mass and the temperature of water was measured and used to calculate mechanical equivalent of heat.

From the choices given the best answer is A. that the initial gravitational potential energy of the masses transformed into kinetic energy of the paddles and then to thermal energy in the water.

Describe how impacts between objects in the solar system have helped create notable features in the solar system such as craters

konstantin123 [22]

When 'The big bang' happened lots of large pieces of molten rock was flying around the solar system. As the rocks crashed together they got bigger and as the got bigger they attracted more rocks. Some scientists think that a large piece of molten rock hit the still developing Earth and created the Moon. This impact also caused the Earths angled spin. The Moon got trapped in Earth's orbit and has stayed ever since. Small astroids have hit the Moon causing craters. The Earth doesn't get hit as much because of our thicker atmosphere. Hope this helps!

Anyone know 1-5? Will give brainliest

baherus [9]

Answer:

1. 200 metres West

2. Dividing distance by time

3. Speed was unchanged

4. 1800 metres

5. 15 seconds

Explanation:

Running 500 metres West puts you 500 Metres west from the start. Then running 300 metres east puts you 200metres from where you started.

Since displacement is the distance you are from your original position 200 Metres West is the answer

2. Distance = Speed x Time

Rearrange that to get Speed = Distance / Time

3. Acceleration is when the rate of increase or decrease of speed or the direction is changing. When the speed or sirection dont change acceleration is 0

4. Distance = Speed x Time

60 x 30 = 1800 metres

5. Time = Distance / Speed

300 / 20 = 15 seconds
