Answer:

The giant-impact theory is actually the preferred or current scientific hypothesis accepted for the Moon's origin.

Explanation:

The giant-impact theory is actually the preferred or current scientific hypothesis accepted for the Moon's origin. This appears that Moon evolved out of residue left over after a collision between Earth and Mars-sized celestial object around 4.5 billions year ago.

Sometimes the merging body is called Theia, named after the mythological Greek Titan that was Selene's mother, the Moon's goddess.

The earth and moon were created By a collision between two planetary objects Each five time the size of mars. Is the newest hypothesis.

In the following reaction, which substance is the precipitate?(NH4)2SO4(aq) + Ba(NO3)2(aq) BaSO4(s) + 2NH4NO3(aq

Delvig [45]

The precipitate is the barium sulfate, or 3) BaSO4. This is because it is a solid (as seen by the (s)), unlike the other aqueous product. The fact that it is a solid means that it is insoluble in water and therefore a precipitate.

Hope this helps!

What material parameters determine resistivity?

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Resistivity $\rho =\frac{RA}{l}$

It depends upon cross sectional area and length of material

Explanation:

The resistance of any material is given by $R=\frac{\rho l}{A}$ , here $\rho$ is the resistivity of material , l is length of material and A is cross sectional area

So resistivity $\rho =\frac{RA}{l}$

So resistuivity of any material depends upon area of cross section and length of material

If cross sectional area will be more then resistivity will be more. And is length of the material will be more then resistivity will be less

A police car is traveling north on a straight road at a constant 16.0 m/s. An SUV traveling north at 30.0 m/s passes the police

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

It will take 15.55s for the police car to pass the SUV

Explanation:

We first have to establish that both the police car and the SUV will travel the same distance in the same amount of time. The police car is moving at constant velocity and the SUV is experiencing a deceleration. Thus we will use two distance fromulas (for constant and accelerated motions) with the same variable for t and x:

1. $x=x_{0}+vt$

2. $x=x_{0}+v_{0}t+\frac{at^{2}}{2}$

Since both cars will travel the same distance x, we can equal both formulas and solve for t:

$vt = v_{0}t+\frac{at^2}{2}\\\\ 16\frac{m}{s}t =30\frac{m}{s}t-\frac{1.8\frac{m}{s^{2}} t^{2}}{2}$

We simplify the fraction present and rearrange for our formula so that it equals 0:

$0.9\frac{m}{s^{2}} t^{2}-14\frac{m}{s}t=0 \\\\ t(0.9\frac{m}{s^{2}}t-14\frac{m}{s})=0$

In the very last step we factored a common factor t. There is two possible solutions to the equation at $t=0$ and:

$0.9\frac{m}{s^{2}}t-14\frac{m}{s}=0 \\\\ 0.9\frac{m}{s^{2}}t =14\frac{m}{s} \\\\ t =\frac{14\frac{m}{s}}{0.9\frac{m}{s^{2}}}=15.56s$

What this means is that during the displacement of the police car and SUV, there will be two moments in time where they will be next to each other; at $t=0 s$ (when the SUV passed the police car) and $t=15.56s$ (when the police car catches up to the SUV)
