B)rotation of earth because we rotate around the sun so when your area faces away from the sun it looks like the sun is setting in your point of view.

<span>B) rotation of the earth.

The sun is relatively fixed. It is the rotation of the Earth that makes it appear as if the Sun is moving from East to West.

If a snowboarder’s initial speed is 4 m/s and comes to rest when making it to the upper level. With a slightly greater initial s
Brrunno [24]

(a) At a corresponding hill on Earth and a lesser gravity on planet Epslion, the height of the hill will cause a reduction in the initial speed of the snowboarder from 4 m/s to a value greater than zero (0).

(b) If the initial speed at the bottom of the hill is 5 m/s, the final speed at the top of the hill be greater than 3 m/s.

<h3>Conservation of mechanical energy</h3>

The effect of height  and gravity on speed on the given planet Epislon is determined by applying the principle of conservation of mechanical energy as shown below;

ΔK.E = ΔP.E

¹/₂m(v²- u²) = mg(hi - hf)

¹/₂(v²- u²) = g(0 - hf)

v² - u² = -2ghf

v² = u² - 2ghf

where;

  • v is the final velocity at upper level
  • u is the initial velocity
  • hf is final height
  • g is acceleration due to gravity

when u² = 2gh, then v² = 0,

when gravity reduces, u² > 2gh, and v² > 0

Thus, at a corresponding hill on Earth and a lesser gravity on planet Epslion, the height of the hill will cause a reduction in the initial speed of the snowboarder from 4 m/s to a value greater than zero (0).

<h3>Final speed</h3>

v² = u² - 2ghf

where;

  • u is the initial speed = 5 m/s
  • g is acceleration due to gravity and its less than 9.8 m/s²
  • v is final speed
  • hf is equal height

Since g on Epislon is less than 9.8 m/s² of Earth;

5² - 2ghf > 3 m/s

Thus, if the initial speed at the bottom of the hill is 5 m/s, the final speed at the top of the hill be greater than 3 m/s.

A thermometer containing 0.10 g of mercury is cooled from 15 degrees celsius to 8.5 degrees celcius. How much energy left the me
loris [4]

To solve this exercise we will use the concept related to heat loss which is mathematically given as

Q = mC_p \Delta T

Where,

m = mass

C_p= Specific Heat

\Delta T = Change in temperature

Replacing with our values we have that

m = 0.1g

C_p = 139J/Kg\cdot K \rightarrow Specific heat of mercury

\Delta T = 8.5\°C-15\°C = -6.5\°C \Rightarrow -6.5K

Replacing

Q = (0.1*10^3)(138)(-6.5)\\Q = -0.09J

Therefore the heat lost by mercury is 0.09J

When does radioactive decay occur
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

C.when the nucleus decays

Explanation:

In chemical reactions, the outermost electrons of atoms are re-arranged somehow without the involvement of the nuclei of the participating atoms of the elements.

Nuclear reactions causes changes within the atomic nucleus. For every atomic nucleus, a specific neutron/proton ratio ensures stability. When the stability ratio differs an atom becomes unstable and splits into one or more other nuclei with the emission of small particles of matter. This is what radioactivity entails.

According to your graph, does the wave speed change with wave length?
fiasKO [112]

Yes

Explanation:

From the graph, we can deduce that the wavelength changes with the speed of the wave.

This is a simple linear graph. A linear graph has a steady gradient and it shows two variables that increases proportionately.

Using the graph, we can establish that as the wavelength of the wave increases the time taken for one wave to pass through increases.

The speed of a wave is given as:

                     V = fλ

   f is the frequency of the wave i.e the number of waves that passes through a point per unit of time

  λ is the wavelength of the wave

The vertical axis on the graph shows the time for 1 wave trip, this is the wave period, T

            f = \frac{1}{T}

Therefore;

    speed of the wave = \frac{λ}{T}

This can be evaluated by solving slope of the graph and finding the inverse.

We can see that as the speed of the wave changes, the wavelength will change.
