A satellite is always being pulled by gravity. a. True b. False

1 answer:

3 0

This is true. Gravity is constantly pulling on anything and everything (even light!), no matter how far away it is from another object.

During 57 seconds of use, 330 C of charge flow through a microwave oven. Compute the size of the electric current.

swat32

Answer:

5.78amps

Explanation:

Given data

Time t= 57 seconds

Charge Q= 330C

Current I= ??

The expression for the electric current is given as

Q= It

Substituting we have

330= I*57

I= 330/57

I=5.78 amps

Hence the current is 5.78amps

traveling at about 30 mph, how many feet will the average driver cover from the time they see the danger until they hit the brak

barxatty [35]

Answer: 75 ft

Explanation:

Breaking distance = Speed²/ 20

= 30²/20

= 45 feet

Stopping distance = Speed + braking distance

= 30 + 45

= 75 ft

What is the difference between fertilization and pollination

lana [24]

<span>Pollination is when the male gamete or pollen reaches the female flower through different modes...wind,air,animals,...
Fertilization </span><span>is when the male gamete "join" with the female gamete to become an embryo.
I hope I helped.:) </span>

Does this diagram illustrate the second law of thermodynamics? Why or why not

Savatey [412]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The diagram is not showing the second law of thermodynamics. It is the demonstration of 1st law of thermodynamics.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Second law of thermodynamics describes the entropy of the system increase with time, it does not decrease with time. It is constant for ideal systems.

While in first law of thermodynamics, it is stated that the energy of a system can not be lost but it is transferred from one form to other form.

And in this picture, it is shown that the energy released from heat source to cold sink is used in doing work.

Work and heat are forms of energy.

In a perfectly elastic collision between two perfectly rigid objects

ipn [44]

Both the total momentum and the total kinetic energy are conserved

Explanation:

- In a collision between two or more objects, if there are no external forces acting on the system (isolated system), the total momentum of the objects is always conserved. This is called principle of conservation of momentum, and can be written as follows:

$mu+MU = mv+MV$

where

m, M are the masses of the two objects

u, U are the initial velocities of the two objects

v, V are the final velocities of the two objects

- The total kinetic energy, however, is not always conserved. In fact, we have two types of collision:

1) In a perfectly elastic collision, the total kinetic energy of the objects is conserved. This means that we can write the following equation:

$\frac{1}{2}mu^2 + \frac{1}{2}MU^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2+\frac{1}{2}MV^2$

2) In an inelastic collision, the total kinetic energy of the object is NOT conserved. This means that part of the total kinetic energy is "lost", converted into other forms of energy (mainly thermal energy, due to the presence of frictional forces within the system). The most extreme case is called perfectly inelastic collision, in which the two objects stick together after the collision, and there is the maximum loss of kinetic energy.
