when astronauts work in space, they are sometimes attached to the spacecraft by a line called an umbilical. Why do you think the

Probably for the umbilical cord that connects babies (from their early stages in the womb to their removal) to their mothers. The cord is cut, forming the belly button. This is analogous to astronauts in space.

Because it is like the umbilical cord on a baby to its mother this is why they call it umbilical

Astronaut Rob leaves Earth in a spaceship at a speed of 0.960c relative to an observer on Earth. Rob's destination is a star sys
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

A) 15.0 years

Explanation:

Due to the distance to the star system is in light-year units, we can compute the time by using:

t=\frac{d}{v}=\frac{14.4 l-y}{0.960}=15l-y

then, Rob will take to complete the trip about 15 light-years.

hope this helps!!

Match the layer of Earth with its characteristic.
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Asthenosphere -- drives the movement in the plates

<em>It is a weak and flexible part of the upper mantle of the planet Earth.</em>

<em>It is located below the lithosphere. The depth of it is between 200 and 80 kilometers below the surface. It is usually solid but in some regions it is fluid. The temperature dictates the thickness of the Asthenosphere.</em>

The Core -- the hottest layer of the Earth.

<em>The inner Core of the Earth is a layer that's located in the core of it.  By definition, it is a rock-hard ball that has the radius of 1,220 kilometers, making it 20% of the Earth's radius and 70% of the Moon's radius. The samples are not discovered. It is believed that it has the composition of iron-nickel infusion along with other elements. The temperature is appx. 5430 °C, which is similar to the temperature of the surface of the Sun.</em>

Mesosphere -- contains the lower mantle

<em>By definition, it comes from the Greek word mesos, which means '' middle ''.</em>

<em>It is the third layer of the Earth. It is located above the stratosphere and below the thermosphere. The higher the altitude,  the lower the temperature. It ends in the coldest part of the Earth, Mesopause. And it begins at the Stratosphere.</em>

Lithosphere -- contains the tectonic plates

<em>By the definition, it is also a word that came from the Greek language. It comes from the word '' lithos '' which means '' rocky ''.</em>

<em>It is a hard, outer part of the Earth.</em>

<em>On the planet Earth, it is made out of the crust of the upper mantle.  The rocks from the Lithosphere are elastic.</em>

<em>They are two types of Lithosphere -- the oceanic Lithosphere and Continental Lithosphere.</em>

Which sentence describes Newton's first law?
Marrrta [24]

\Large{\red{\bf{\blue{\dag} Answer:-}}}

Newton's First Law of Motion :

An object stays in rest or in uniform motion unless and until compelled by an external unbalanced force . This is also known as " Law of Inertia " .

Here this statement is best represented by the statement : <em>Unbalanced forces cause an object to move.</em><em> </em>[ option c ]

<u>More</u><u> to</u><u> know</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

Newton's 3 laws of motion :-

Newton's First Law of Motion :-

It states that an object stays in rest or in uniform motion unless and until compelled by an external unbalanced force . This is also known as " Law of Inertia " .

Ex - (i) We tend to fall backwards while standing in the bus , when it starts suddenly.

(ii) We tend to fall forward while standing in the bus , when it stops suddenly.

Newton's Second Law of Motion :-

It states that the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force in the direction of the force . That is ∆p \propto Force .

Ex - (i) When we push car & a truck with same force the car will have Greater acceleration due to less mass . (Imaginary case ).

(ii) We feel easy to push a empty cart than a full cart .

Newton's Third Law of Motion :-

It states that every action has equal and opposite reaction .

Ex - (i) We are able to walk on ground due to Newton's third law of motion .

(ii) When we push wall it also applies equal and opposite force .

1) how will the total distance traveled by a car in 2 hours be affected if the average speed is doubled?
Elodia [21]
1) d = V*t >>>as you double the av. speed the distance become doubled.
2) after you draw the victors you will find the total displacement  = 1 meter to the left.
3) V =d/t =( 8km)/(1.25hr) = 6.4km/hr
