Answer:

1.28 x 10^4 N

Explanation:

m = 1500 kg, h = 450 km, radius of earth, R = 6400 km

Let the acceleration due to gravity at this height is g'

g' / g = {R / (R + h)}^2

g' / g = {6400 /  (6850)}^2

g' = 8.55 m/s^2

The force between the spacecraft and teh earth is teh weight of teh spacecraft

W = m x g' = 1500 x 8.55 = 1.28 x 10^4 N

The relative motion of gaseous particles increases with increase in the temperature of the gas molecules just like the motion of popcorn in a popper increases when heat is applied to the popper.

<h3>What is kinetic theory of gas?</h3>

The kinetic theory of gases or matter states that matter consists of tiny particles which are constant motion, colliding with one another and with walls of the containing vessels.

Just like a popcorn in a popcorn popper pops when heat is applied to the popper, gases contained in a cylinder increases their speed when they acquire more kinetic energy as the temperature of the cylinder increases.

Thus, the motion of gas particles depends on the temperature of the containing vessel so also does the random motion of popcorn depends on the temperature of the popper.

Match the lithification processes.
butalik [34]

Explanation:

Recrystallization: contact pressure causing grains to "fuse" together

Cementation : precipitation of bonding agents between grains

Compaction : increase in density due to weight of overburden

Lithification is the process by which sediments are converted into sedimentary rocks. During this process, recrystallication, compaction and cementation of mineral grains occur.

The process starts with the compaction of sediments. The over burden weight of new sediments in the basin adds to the one originally deposited. This compresses the sediment. The volume of reduced and the density increases.

Recrystallization follows suit as the contact pressure of grains makes them fuse together. It is more like reworking of sediments. In this process, cementing materials can precipitate and cause sediments to be more fused together.

This is why most sediment are made up of clasts in a matrix of cementing materials.

Kate gathered 3 of the same size made of different materials: glas, clear plastic, and aluminum painted black. She placed on the
Anestetic [448]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>To relate the type of box material to the warmth inside the box </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

3 boxes are made with three different materials glass, plastic and Aluminium. Thermal conductivity is different for different materials. thermal conductors allow easy flow of heat through them and insulators allow minimal or no flow of heat through them.

Thus the amount by which an object gets heated up depends on the value of its conductivity. In this experiment, glass and plastic are insulators and aluminium is a conductor. Among glass and plastic, plastic is a better insulator.

<em>Thus the heat contained in the boxes will be of the order </em>Aluminium>glass>plastic.
