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.

Use the graph below to answer the following question: if average acceleration is calculated using the equation, “ change in velo
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

a=9\ cm/s^2

Explanation:

<u>Average Acceleration </u>

Acceleration is a physical magnitude defined as the change of velocity over time. When we have experimental data, we can compute it by calculating the slope of the line in velocity vs time graph.

Note: <em>We cannot see if the time axis is numbered in increments of 1 second, and we'll assume that. </em>

When t_2=4\ sec, the graph shows a value of v_2=36\ cm/s

When t_1=0\ sec, the object is at rest, v_1=0

We compute the average acceleration as

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_2-v_1}{t_2-t_1}

\displaystyle a=\frac{36\ cm/s-0\ cm/s}{4\ sec-0\ sec}

\displaystyle a=\frac{36\ cm/s}{4\ s}

\boxed{a=9\ cm/s^2}

How do I know if i’m doing number 2 right?
Ksju [112]

We are given an object that is speeding up on a level ground.

Let's remember that the gravitational energy depends on the change in height, therefore, if the object is not changing its height it means that the gravitational energy remains constant.

The kinetic energy depends on the velocity. If the velocity is increasing this means that the kinetic energy is also increasing.

Now, every change in velocity requires acceleration and acceleration requires a force. The force and the distance that the object moves are equivalent to the work that is transferred to the object and therefore, the change in kinetic energy. This means that the total energy of the system increases as work is transferred to the mass.

We have that the total energy of the system increases in the form of kinetic energy and that the gravitational potential energy remains constant. Therefore, the diagrams should look like pie charts that grow but the area of the segment of the potential energy stays the same. It should look similar to the following.
