This is a heliocentric system. Heliocentric means "sun at the center" The name Helio- is from Helios, the Greek name for the Sun. (This is where we get the name of helium, which is made in the sun.) Geocentric means "Earth at the center", which is the original thought of how the solar system was arranged, but is not shown in the picture.

It shows the heliocentric idea of the solar system. In this view, the sun is at the center of the solar system with planets orbiting around it. In the geocentric view, the earth is at the center of the solar system.

If the mass of a material is 50 grams and the volume of the material is 12 cm^3, what would the density of the material be?

AlekseyPX

The density of the material would be
25/6 grams per cm^3.
to obtain the result above this is what we do:
density is calculated as: (the mass of the given material or object) / volume of the material
which leads us to 50grams /12cm^3

In a ballistics test, a 24 g bullet traveling horizontally at 1200 m/s goes through a 31-cm-thick 320 kg stationary target and e

Zanzabum

Answer:

The velocity is $v_t = 0.02175 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the bullet is $m_b = 0.024 \ kg$

The initial speed of the bullet is $u_b = 1200 \ m/s$

The mass of the target is $m_t = 320 \ kg$

The initial velocity of target is $u_t = 0 \ m/s$

The final velocity of the bullet is is $v_b = 910 \ m/s$

Generally according to the law of momentum conservation we have that

$m_b * u_b + m_t * u_t = m_b * v_b + m_t * v_t$

=> $0.024 * 1200 + 320 * 0 = 0.024 * 910 + 320 * v_t$

=> $v_t = 0.02175 \ m/s$

A device that converts high voltages to lower voltages is a(n) ________.

AysviL [449]

Answer: A) Transformer

Explanation: A Transformer is an apparatus, device or a component in a system that is used to convert high voltage into low voltage. It is used to either increase or decrease the voltage of an alternating current.

A transformer uses the basic principle of electro magnetic induction, having two or more coils, the voltage is changed from one coil to another but with thesame frequency as alternating current energy passes through them.
