(a) Determine the circumference of the Earth through the equation,
            C = 2πr
Substituting the known values, 
           C = 2π(1.50 x 10¹¹ m)
             C = 9.424 x 10¹¹ m

Then, divide the answer by time which is given to a year which is equal to 31536000 s. 
          orbital speed = (9.424 x 10¹¹ m)/31536000 s

               orbital speed = 29883.307 m/s

Hence, the orbital speed of the Earth is ~29883.307 m/s.

(b) The mass of the sun is ~1.9891 x 10³⁰ kg.

Define and Explain the Sovereignty
GarryVolchara [31]

Sovereignty is a political concept that refers to dominant power or supreme authority.

Three rocks, each of varying mass and volume, are released from a window at the same time. The window is at height h above the g
krek1111 [17]

Under the assumption that the three rocks are dropped from the same height, they will hit the ground at the same speed. The gravity of Earth is virtually the same for any object that is small compared to the size of the Earth. The acceleration will change with the distance from the Earth, but this change is so small for the range of heights we work with (consider the range of heights from sea level to the tip of Mount Everest) that we can take the average value and assume it to be constant. This constant value of acceleration due to Earth's gravity is 9.80665m/s²


Because the objects fall under the same constant acceleration, they will hit the ground at the same speed.

A car starts from rest with an acceleration of 2.84 m/s2 at the instant when a second car moving with a velocity of 25.7 m/s pas
vredina [299]

Answer:

464.69 m

Explanation:

First car

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}2.84t^2\\\Rightarrow s=1.42t^2

Second car

Distance = Speed × Time

\text{Distance}=25.7t

Here, the time taken and the distance traveled will be the same

Equating the two equations

1.42t^2=25.7t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{25.7}{1.42}\\\Rightarrow t=18.09\ s

So, the first would have to move 1.42t^2=1.42\times 18.09^2=464.69\ m in order to overtake the second car.

Look at the picture above and scientifically explain how eating a hamburger can cause energy transformation in three ways within
sergejj [24]

Answer:

CLAIM: When you eat the hamburger, your body uses it and breaks it down which is chemical energy than use that food for energy for mechanical energy which makes thermal energy

EVIDENCE: This happens every day to people across the world and also it is scientifically proven

REASONING: The reason why this evidence supports it is because as I said  it happens everyday and when you feel energized after and apple after you were lazy that just happened

Define mass defect and binding energy​
natima [27]

Answer:

About Transcript. Nuclear binding energy is the energy required to split an atom's nucleus into protons and neutrons. Mass defect is the difference between the predicted mass and the actual mass of an atom's nucleus. The binding energy of a system can appear as extra mass, which accounts for this difference.
