Answer:

Gamma rays are the most energetic form of rays. A gamma ray burst can emit a large amount of energy in a very short interval of time. In fact, a short gamma-ray burst occurs in less than 2 seconds. A leading hypothesis states that when two neutron stars merge or when a neutron star merges with a black hole, short gamma-ray burst originates. Such merger are expected to produce kilonovoe.

Which substances are inorganic? Check all that apply.

bezimeni [28]

The major characteristic an organic compound has which an inorganic

compound doesn't have is the presence of carbon atoms in the molecule.

This helps us to differentiate the compounds into their respective divisions.

Inorganic compounds

K2CO3

Fe3O4

Organic compounds

C6H12O6

C4H10

C27H46O

We can observe that inorganic compounds lack carbon atoms which makes

the answer valid.

To understand the interplay of observations and models you must first be able to distinguish between things that we observe and

Svetllana [295]

Answer: a) Observation

b) observation

c) observation

d) observation

e) inference

f) inference

g) inference

h) inference

Explanation:

observation: The photosphere is made mostly of hydrogen and helium,The photosphere emits mostly visible light,The corona is hotter than the photosphere, The Sun emits neurtrinos

inferences: The Sun generates energy by fusing hydrogen into helium,The core temperature is 10 million k, The convection zone is cooler than the radiation zone,The composition of the photosphere is the same as that the gas cloud that have birth to our solar system.

Ballon volume of 3200ml of xenon gas is at a gauge pressure of 122kPa and a temperature of 27c. What is the volume when the ball

N76 [4]

Given:

The initial volume of the gas, V₁=3200 ml=3.2×10⁻³ m³

The initial pressure of the gas, P₁=122 kPa

The initial temperature of the gas, T₁=27 °C=300 K

The final temperature, T₂=65 °C=338 K

The final pressure, P₂=112 kPa

To find:

The final volume of xenon gas.

Explanation:

From the combined gas law,

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

Where V₂ is the volume after it is heated.

On rearranging the above equation,

$V_2=\frac{T_2P_1V_1}{T_1P_2}$

On substituting the known values,

$\begin{gathered} V_2=\frac{338\times112\times10^3\times3.2\times10^{-3}}{300\times112\times10^3} \\ =3.61\text{ m}^3 \end{gathered}$

Final answer:

The volume of the balloon when it is heated is 3.61 m³

a person with a mass of 75kg jumps on the trampoline the trampoline creates a fprce of 375n on them what is the acceleration of

Anarel [89]

Newton's second law allows calculating the response for the person's acceleration while leaving the trampoline is:

-4.8 m / s²

Newton's second law says that the net force is proportional to the product of the mass and the acceleration of the body

F = m a

Where the bold letters indicate vectors, F is the force, m the masses and the acceleration

The free body diagram is a diagram of the forces without the details of the body, in the attached we can see the free body diagram for this system

$F_t$ -W = m a
