Answer: 2. Weight can be measured in pounds.

Explanation: 1. False. Mass can be measured in kilograms not Newton’s. Newton’s is a measurement of force not mass.

3. False. A bowling ball is more massive, therefore when multiplied by acceleration of gravity it weighs more.

4. False. In different gravitational fields such as the moon versus the earth, objects will have different weights.

Answer:

A) 35 ft

B) 5 ft

C) Net displacement = distance covered by the dog to retrieve the stick - distance covered before the dog starts chewing the stick

Explanation:

A) Total distance covered by the dog = 20 + 15

= 35 ft

B) Since the other distance covered by the dog before chewing the stick, after the retrieval, was in an opposite direction to the initial direction, then;

total displacement of the dog = 20 - 15

= 5 ft

C) Net displacement = distance covered by the dog to retrieve the stick + distance covered before the dog starts chewing the stick

But, displacement involves a specified direction. The distance covered before the dog starts chewing the stick was in an opposite direction to the initial direction.

Thus,

Net displacement = distance covered by the dog to retrieve the stick - distance covered before the dog starts chewing the stick

Jupiter and Saturn each have the same three basic cloud layers, but the spacing of the layers differs on the two planets. Why is

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

b. Jupiter’s greater gravity has compressed the layers, so they are closer together there.

Explanation:

The value for Jupiter mass is 1.8981×10²⁷kg, while the mass of Saturn is 5.6832×10²⁶kg, so the different layers of clouds in Jupiter will be submitted to a greater gravitational pull because it has a bigger mass, as is established in the law of universal gravitation:

$F = G\frac{m1m2}{r^{2}}$ (1)

Where m1 and m2 are the masses of two objects, G is the gravitational constant and r is the distance between the two objects.

As it can be seen in equation 1, the gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the objects, so if the mass increase the gravitational force will do it too.

For the case of Saturn, it has a lower mass so its layers of clouds will suffer a weaker gravitational pull. That leads to the three clouds being more spacing that the ones of Jupiter.

Many biological systems are well-described by the laws of statistical physics. A simple yet often powerful approach is to think

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

z1/z2

Explanation:

we have no quantum effects therefore we can make use of Maxwell Boltzmann distribution in the description of this system.

using the boltzman distribution the probability of finding a particle in energy state

$P_{ei} = \frac{gie^{-ei/kol} }{z}$

we have

gi to be degeneration of the ith state

ei to be energy of ith state

$z=e^{-ei/kbt}$ summation

$P_{ope} = \frac{e^{-ei/kBt} }{z} = \frac{Z_{1} }{Z}$

We have R to be equal to

$\frac{P_{ope} }{P_{Close} } = \frac{Z1}{Z2}$

At noon on a clear day, sunlight reaches the earth\'s surface at Madison, Wisconsin, with an average power of approximately 3.00

alexira [117]

Energy of a wave:
E = nhc/λ
3000 = (n x 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ x 3 x 10⁸)/(510 x 10⁻⁹)
n = 7.69 x 10 ²¹ photons per second per meter²
2.70 cm² = 2.70/10,000 m²
= 2.7 x 10⁻⁴
Photons per second = 7.69 x 10 ²¹ x 2.7 x 10⁻⁴
= 2.08 x 10¹⁸ photons per second
