Not everything in science is clear-cut, with obvious problems, experiments, theories, and solutions. Sometimes scientists gather

data
and evidence for which there is no apparent explanation
This was the case when early European astronomers recorded data of the planets' movements through the sky. While the stars.
Moon, and Sun all revolved around the Earth in simplo, seemingly circular patters, the planets moved forward and backward in wild
loops, and no one know exactly why this happened.
This was until Johannes Kepler guessed that maybe the planets move around the Sun, not in circular orbits, but in ellipses. This was
an idea that no one else had thought of, and when it was compared to recorded data, it proved to be correct
What does this example illustrate about the process of science?

A. Science sometimes requires creativity

B. Creative ideas are not useful in science

C. Mathematical theories always lead to scientific theories

D. Guessing should have no place in modern science

Why is the top of a wave called a crest
Molodets [167]

Answer: A crest is the highest point the medium rises to and a trough is the lowest point the medium sinks to. It is also a point on the wave where the displacement of the medium is at a maximum.

To win the game, a place kicker must kick a
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

1.86 m

Explanation:

First, find the time it takes to travel the horizontal distance.  Given:

Δx = 52 m

v₀ = 26 m/s cos 31.5° ≈ 22.2 m/s

a = 0 m/s²

Find: t

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

52 m = (22.2 m/s) t + ½ (0 m/s²) t²

t = 2.35 s

Next, find the vertical displacement.  Given:

v₀ = 26 m/s sin 31.5° ≈ 13.6 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

t = 2.35 s

Find: Δy

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δy = (13.6 m/s) (2.35 s) + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) (2.35 s)²

Δy = 4.91 m

The distance between the ball and the crossbar is:

4.91 m − 3.05 m = 1.86 m

If 2.40 g of KNO3 reacts with sufficient sulfur (S8) and carbon (C), how much P-V work will the gases do against an external pre
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

-112.876J

Explanation:

In order to solve this question, we would need to incorporate Stoichiometry, which involves using relationships between reactants and/or products in a chemical reaction to determine desired quantitative data.

Here's a balanced equation for the reaction:

16KNO_3(s) + 24C(s) + S_8(s)    \to 24CO_2(g) + 8N_2(g) + 8K_2S(s)

Let us define P - V work as;

w_{pv} = - P_{external}  \triangle Volume

where  \triangle (Volume) = (V_{final} - V_{initial})

External pressure is given as  1.00atm , therefore the work solely depends on the change in volume and since the reactants are solids, none of the reactants contribute to the volume. Hence,  V_i = 0.

To find the volume of the products, we need to first find the amount of moles of the product made from  2.40_gKNO_3, using the molar mass of  KNO_3  which is 101.1032 g/mol  

2.40_gKNO_3 . {\frac{1molKNO_3}{101.1032_g}} = 0.0237molKNO_3

Now let us convert moles of  KNO_3  into moles of CO_2 and N_2  using the stoichiometric ratios from our balanced equation of the reaction.

0.0237molKNO_3 . {\frac{24molCO_2}{16molKNO_3}} = 0.0356molCO_2

0.0237molKNO_3 . {\frac{8molN_2}{16molKNO_3}} = 0.01185molN_2

K_2S is not factored into the volume calculation because it is a solid.

Now let us also convert the moles of  CO_2  and  N_2 into grams using their respective molar masses.

0.0356molCO_2 . {\frac{44.01_g}{1molCO_2}} = 1.567_gCO_2

0.01185molN_2 . {\frac{28.014_g}{1molN_2}} = 0.332_gN_2

We will now proceed to convert grams into volume using the density values provided.

1.567_gCO_2 . {\frac{1L}{1.830_g}} = 0.856LCO_2

0.332_gN_2 . {\frac{1L}{1.165_g}} = 0.285LN_2

Summing up the two volumes, we get the final volume

0.856L + 0.258L = 1.114L = V_f

Plugging everything into the w_{pv} equation, we get:

w_{pv} = -1atm(1.114L - 0L) = -1.114L.atm

Finally, let us convert L.atm into joules using the conversion rate of;

1L.atm = 101.325J\\-1.114L.atm. {\frac{101.325J}{1L.atm}} = -112.876J

A 900 kg car speeds up from 30 M/S to 80 m/s how much momentum did the car gain?​
AlexFokin [52]

The change in momentum of the car is 45,000 kg m/s

Explanation:

The change in momentum of an object is given by:

\Delta p = m(v-u)

where

m is the mass of the object

u is its initial velocity

v is its final velocity

For the car in this problem, we have

m = 900 kg

u = 30 m/s

v = 80 m/s

Therefore, the change in momentum is:

\Delta p = (900)(80-30)=45,000 kg m/s
