<u>Answer:</u>

First, the thermometer is dipped into boiling water, and the mercury inside the thermometer rises to a high level, called the boiling point. This level is then marked as 100°C. The thermometer is then dipped into melting ice, which causes the mercury level to fall to a point called the ice point. This point is then marked as 0°C. The length of the thermometer from the 0°C mark to the 100°C point is then divided into 100 equal sections, and the rest of the levels are marked accordingly.

Kitty [74]

The cluster that is most likely to be located in the halo of our galaxy is the diagram that shows main-sequence stars of every spectral type except O, along with a few giants and supergiants.

<h3>What are star clusters?</h3>

Star clusters are large collections of stars. Star clusters are classified into two types: Globular clusters are gravitationally bound groups of tens of thousands to millions of old stars.

Because of their location on the dusty spiral arms of spiral galaxies, they are sometimes referred to as galactic clusters. Stars in an open cluster share a common ancestor as they all formed from the same massive molecular cloud.

A typical spiral galaxy has a faint, extended stellar halo. A stellar halo is an essentially spherical population of stars and globular clusters thought to surround most disk galaxies and the cD class of elliptical galaxies. It should be noted that a halo is a spherical cloud of stars surrounding a galaxy. Astronomers have proposed that the Milky Way's halo is composed of two populations of stars.

If a builder of mass 75kg climbs a vertical ladder of 25m how much energy has she gained ?
erica [24]
So,

GPE (graviational potential energy) = mass x g x height

GPE is depends on where zero height is defined.  In this situation, we define h = 0 as the initial height.

GPE = 75 \ kg*9.8 \ \frac{m}{s^2}*25 \ m

GPE = 18,375 \frac{kg*m^2}{s^2}

GPE = 18,375 \ joules(J) \ or \ 18.375 \ kilojoules(kJ)

The builder has gained 18.375 kJ of PE.

Which is not expecting acceleration?
Kamila [148]

1. Answer: A skydiver whose air resistance is equal to that of her weight.

A skydiver free falls under gravity but her rate of fall slows down due to drag -air resistance. when this air resistance becomes equal to her weight, the two get balanced and the body does not accelerate or decelerates.

2. Answer: Gravity

Contact forces are those which act when there is physical contact between two bodies. For example: normal force, tension and spring force.

Non-contact forces act between two bodies even when they are at a distance apart. For example: gravity, electric force, magnetic force etc.

3. Answer: The tendency of an object's motion to remain the same.

Inertia is a property of matter by virtue of which it tends to remain in its state of motion or rest. It does depend on mass of the object, more the mass, more is inertia. For example, cycle can be easily moved but we need real push hard for a car to move.

4. Answer: 254 N

The man pushes the box with 310 N force at an angle of  55 degrees to the horizontal.

we can write this in terms of horizontal (F cos \theta)and vertical component (F sin\theta).

Horizontal component: F_H=310 \times cos (55^o)= 178 N

Vertical component: F_v=310 \times sin (55^o)= 254 N

The vertical component would act towards the floor making the job more difficult to move the job.
