Radar, the first link in the cosmic distance chain, is used to establish the baseline distance necessary for the second link, pa

rallax. What baseline distance must we know before we can measure parallax?

Answer:

the Earth-Sun distance.

Explanation:

To measure parallax the base line distance that we need to know is the Earth-Sun distance. This distance is called 1 astronomical unit. This distance is 1.496×10^8 Km. So, this base line distance is necessary for the second link parallax.

Beaker A contains 100 mL of water at a temperature of 25 °C. Beaker B contains 100 mL of water at a temperature of 60 °C. Which
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Only option A is correct. Beaker A has lower kinetic energy than beaker B.

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Beaker 1 has a volume of 100 mL at 25 °C

Beaker B has a volume of 100 mL at 60 °C

Thermal energy = m*c*T

Thermal energy beaker A = 100 grams*4.184 * 25°C

Thermal energy beaker B = 100 grams *4.184*60°C

⇒ Since both beakers contain the same amount of water, the thermal energy depends on the temperature.

Since beaker B has a higher temperature, it has a higher thermal energy than beaker A

When we heat a substance, its temperature rises and causes an increase in the kinetic energy of its constituent molecules. Temperature is, in fact, a measure of the kinetic energy of molecules.

This means beaker B has a higher kinetic energy than beaker A

Potential energy doesn't depend on temperature. this means the potential energy of beaker A and beaker B is the same.

a. Beaker A has lower kinetic energy than beaker B. This is correct.

b. Beaker A has higher thermal energy than beaker B. This is false.

c. Beaker A has higher potential energy than beaker B. This is false.

d. Beaker A has lower potential energy than beaker B. This is false

e. Beaker A has higher kinetic energy than beaker B. This is false.

A 20-Kg child is on a swing attached to 3.0 m-long chains. The child swings back and forth, swinging out to a 60-degree angle. (
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

 v = 29.4 m / s

Explanation:

For this exercise we can use the conservation of mechanical energy

Lowest starting point.

          Em₀ = K = ½ m v²

final point. Higher

          Em_{f} = U = m g h

Let's use trigonometry to lock her up

          cos 60 = y / L

          y = L cos 60

Height is the initial length minus the length at the maximum angle

           h = L - L cos 60

           h = L (1- cos 60)

energy is conserved

         Em₀ = Em_{f}

          ½ m v² = mgL (1 - cos 60)

         v = 2g L (1- cos 60)

 

let's calculate

          v² = 2 9.8 3.0 (1- cos 60)

          v = 29.4 m / s

What happens to the electric potential energy of a negatively charged ion as it moves through the water from the negative probe
Nataly [62]

Answer:

Decreases.

Explanation:

Electric potential energy is the potential energy which is associated with the configuration of points charge in a system and it is the result of conservative coulomb force.

When the negatively charge ion is at the position of the negative probe than its potential energy is positive when it is move towards the positive probe it's potential energy becomes negative due to the negative ion.

Therefore, potential energy is decreases when negative charge ion moves through the water from negative probe to positive probe.

In 1986, several robotic spacecrafts were sent into space to study the Halley's Comet. Which of these statements best explains w
maks197457 [2]
No spacecraft has been built yet that was able to absorb harmful
radiations in space, change weather conditions on Earth, or destroy
meteors and comets which might strike Earth.

We should continue to send robotic spacecrafts into space
because they help discard some myths about objects in space. 
In other words, they help us learn things that we never knew before.

mylen [45]

Answer:

I gotchu fam. 0.0435 kg

Explanation:

m1v1+m2v2=m1v1f+m2v2f

(0.5)(23)+(m2)(0)=(0.5)(17)+(m2)(69)

11.5=8.5+69m2

3=69m2
