(20 N)/(2 m²) = (20/2) N/m² = 10 Pa

_____

The pascal (Pa) is the derived SI unit of pressure equal to 1 N/m².

Answer:

Consider frames X and Y:

If X sees Y moving to his right then Y must see X moving to his right.

If this is not true then one can choose one frame over the other ( a favored frame and this is not allowed)

At the nose of a missile in flight, the pressure and temperature are 5.6 atm and 850°R, respectively. Calculate the density and

Contact [7]

To solve this problem we will apply the definition of the ideal gas equation, where we will clear the density variable. In turn, the specific volume is the inverse of the density, so once the first term has been completed, we will simply proceed to divide it by 1. According to the definition of 1 atmosphere, this is equivalent in the English system to

$1atm = 2116lb/ft^2$

The ideal gas equation said us that,

PV = nRT

Here,

P = pressure

V = Volume

R = Gas ideal constant

T = Temperature

n = Amount of substance (at this case the mass)

Then

$\frac{n}{V} = \frac{P}{RT}$

The amount of substance per volume is the density, then

$\rho = \frac{P}{RT}$

Replacing with our values,

$\rho = \frac{5.6*2116}{1716*850}$

$\rho = 0.00812slug/ft^3$

Finally the specific volume would be

$v = \frac{1}{\rho}$

$v = 123ft^3/slug$

What is the correct order of increasing energy?

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Microwaves, visible light, ultraviolet light, x-rays, γ-rays

Explanation:

The energy of any wave is given by :

$E=h\nu$

h = Planck's constant

$\nu$ is the frequency of wave

It is clear that the energy of any wave is directly proportional to its frequency. Gamma rays have maximum frequency. Out of given options microwaves have least frequency.

So, the increasing order of energy is "microwaves, visible light, ultraviolet light, x-rays, γ-rays". Hence, the correct option is (5).

A major contribution of Johannes Kepler to the development of modern astronomy was:________.

fgiga [73]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is planetary motion</h2>

Explanation:

According to Johannes Kepler, the laws governing planetary motion

states that:

1. The orbit of a planet is an ellipse with the Sun at one of the two foci.

2. A line segment joining a planet and the Sun sweeps out equal areas

during equal intervals of time.

3. The square of a planet's orbital period is proportional to the cube of the semi-major of its orbit.

Johannes Kepler was a German astronomer, mathematician, and astrologer
