True or false: objects fall toward earth at a rate of 9.8 m/s because of centripetal force.

Sadly, no. The statement kind of has some appropriate words in it, but it's badly corrupted. Objects don't fall to Earth at a rate of 9.8 m/s, and the force that accelerates them downward is not a centripetal one.

What is the difference between a partial and total lunar eclipse?
storchak [24]

Answer:

During a total lunar eclipse, the moon and sun are on the exact opposite sides of the Earth, leaving the moon entirely in the Earth's shadow. During a partial lunar eclipse, only part of the moon is in the Earth's shadow.

A pressure cooker contains water and steam in equilibrium at a pressure greater than atmo-spheric pressure. How does this greate
Amanda [17]

Answer:

As the pressure inside the pressure cooker increases as it is heated, the temperature also increases.

Explanation:

A pressure cooker contains water and steam in equilibrium at a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure.

According to the ideal gas law, as the pressure increases, the temperature also increases.

As the pressure inside the pressure cooker increases as it is heated, the temperature also increases.

Radiation makes it impossible to stand close to a hot lava flow. Calculate the rate of heat transfer by radiation, in kW, from 1
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

1.5 x 10⁵ W

Explanation:

A = Area of the fresh lava = 1.02 m²

T = Temperature of fresh lava = 1000 °C = 1000 + 273 = 1273 K

T₀ = Temperature of surrounding = 25.3 °C = 25.3 + 273 = 298.3 K

ε = emissivity of the lava = 0.97

σ = stefan's constant = 5.67 x 10⁻⁸ Wm⁻²K⁻⁴

Rate of  transfer is given as

E = σ ε A (T⁴ - T₀⁴)

E = (5.67 x 10⁻⁸) (0.97) (1.02) ((1273)⁴ - (298.3)⁴)

E = 1.5 x 10⁵ W

Need help with this! <br><br> just scienceeeeeee
LiRa [457]

Answer:

7)  λ = 0.5 m,  8)  f = 4.8 10¹⁴ Hz

Explanation:

The speed of an electromagnetic wave is

          c = λ f

where c is the speed of light in vacuum c = 3 10⁸ m / s

7) indicate the frequency f = 6.0 10⁸ Hz

we do not know the wavelength

         λ = c / f

       

we calculate

        λ = 3 10⁸ / 6.0 10⁸

        λ = 0.5 m

8) indicate the wavelength  λ = 6.25 10-7 m

we do not know the frequency

         f = c / λ

we calculate

        f = 3 10⁸ / 6.25 10⁻⁷

        f = 0.48 10¹⁵ Hz

        f = 4.8 10¹⁴ Hz
