Malika is writing an essay about the Sun. Below is the first paragraph in the essay. The Sun is an average-size star that is loc

ated at the center of the solar system. This hot, glowing ball of gas has a diameter of 1,393,000 km. This means 109 Earths would fit side by side across the diameter of the Sun. At the surface, the Sun’s temperature is about 550 degrees Celsius. Earth is located just under 150 million kilometers from the Sun. Malika quickly realizes this paragraph contains an error. Which statement identifies the error? The Sun is a large star, not an average-size star. The Sun is not a glowing ball of gas—it is solid. The Sun’s surface temperature is about 5500 degrees Celsius. Earth is located over 300 million kilometers from the Sun.

The answer would be:


<u>The Sun's surface temperature is about 5,500 degrees Celsius. </u>


The surface of the Sun is about 5,778 Kelvin. If you want to be exact the sun is 5,505 degrees Celsius and that's just the surface. The corona gets even hotter reaching about 10 million degrees Celsius. The other information about the Sun is correct.

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Sun is a large star and as it is given that it's diameter is 1,393,000 km. Since there are nuclear reactions that take place inside the Sun, therefore, there is emission of lot of radiations.

As a result, lot of heat energy is there. So, the statement at the surface Sun’s temperature is about 550 degrees Celsius will be an error.

Thus, we can conclude that this error is identified by the statement the Sun’s surface temperature is about 5500 degrees Celsius.

First,

\rho=\dfrac mV

where \rho is density, m is mass, and V is volume. We can compute the volume of the roll:

2.7\,\dfrac{\mathrm g}{\mathrm{cm}^3}=\dfrac{1275\,\mathrm g}V

\implies V\approx472.22\,\mathrm{cm}^3\approx4.72\,\mathrm m^3

When the roll is unfurled, the aluminum will be a rectangular box (a very thin one), so its volume will be the product of the given area and its thickness x. Note that we're assuming the given area is not the actual total surface area of the aluminum box, but just the area of the largest face (i.e. the area of one side of the unrolled sheet of aluminum).

So we have

V=Ax

where A is the given area, so

4.72\,\mathrm m^3=\left(18.5\,\mathrm m^2\right)x

\implies x\approx0.255\,\mathrm m=255\,\mathrm{mm}

If we're taking significant digits into account, the volume we found would have been V=470\,\mathrm m^3, in turn making the thickness x=250\,\mathrm{mm}.

A bus starts from rest.if the acceleration is 2m/s square, find
MrMuchimi

Answer:

The velocity after 2 seconds can be found through:

V = u +a*t

Where V is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time.

V = 0 + 2* 2= 4 meters/second

The distance (s) can be found through:

V^2= u^2 +2*a* s

Where V is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration.

4^2= 0^2 + 2 *2*s

16= 0 + 4s

s= 4 meters

Distance (s) can also be found through:

s= ut + 1/2 at^2

s= 0+ 1/2 *2*2^2= 1 *2*2

s= 4 meters

A clarinetist, setting out for a performance, grabs his 3.010 kg clarinet case (including the clarinet) from the top of the pian
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

-0.481 m/s^2

Explanation:

The force equation of this problem is given as:

F - W = ma

where F = upward force holding the clarinet bag

W = downward force (weight of the clarinet)

The mass of the clarinet bag is 3.010 kg, therefore, its weight is:

W = mg

W = 3.010 * 9.8 = 29.498

F = 28.05 N

Therefore:

28.05 - 29.498 = 3.010 * a

-1.448 = 3.010a

=> a = -1.448 / 3.010

a = -0.481 m/s^2

The acceleration of the bag is downward.
