A student writes the following script for a scene in a futuristic movie: A rocket ship is landing on the Moon where many astrona

uts are already standing. As the rocket ship lands, the astronauts are overwhelmed by the loud noise of the rocket lowering towards them. When the ship lands, the astronauts can feel a vibration ripple through the Moon’s surface beneath their feet.
What is the scientific inaccuracy in this scene?

Answer: No crash landing on the surface of the moon and there is no vibration due to low acceleration due to gravity.

Explanation:

The rocket ship can't land on the surface of the moon because it depends on winged flight for its controlled descent to the surface of the Earth.  Since the moon has no real atmosphere, the wings would not be able to glide the craft smoothly to the moon's surface.

The acceleration due to gravity in the moon is very low compared to the earth. The astronauts cannot experience vibration ripple through the Moon’s surface beneath their feet because the low level acceleration due to gravity will drastically affect the weight of the ship.

What is the specific heat of a substance that absorbs 1600 joules of heat when a sample
kramer

Answer:

8.08 J/g °C

Explanation:

Q=m*Cp*ΔT-->

Cp=Q/(m*ΔT) -->

Cp=1600/[18*(31-20)]-->

Cp=8.08 J/g °C

If the ultraviolet photon has a wavelength of 249 nm and one of the photons emitted by the fluorescent material has a wavelength
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

601 nm

Explanation:

Energy of photon having wavelength of λ nm

= \frac{1244}{\lambda}eV

Energy of 249 nm photon

=\frac{1244}{249}

=4.996 eV

Similarly energy of 425nm photon

=\frac{1244}{425}

=2.927 eV

Difference = 2.069 eV.

This energy will give rise to another photon whose wavelength will be

λ = \frac{1244}{2.069}

= 601 nm.

10 turns of wire are closely wound around a pencil as shown in the figure. when measured using a scale as shown, the length of t
Mila [183]

Answer:

a. The thickness of the wire is 2.5 mm.

b. The wire is 0.25 cm thick.

Explanation:

Number of turns of the wire = 10

The length of total turns = 25 mm

a. The thickness of the wire can be determined by;

thickness of the wire = \frac{length of total turns}{number of turns}

                           = \frac{25}{10}

                           = 2.5 mm

Therefore, the wire is 2.5 mm thick.

b. To determine the thickness of the wire in centimetre;

10 mm = 1 cm

So that,

2.5 mm = x

x  = \frac{2.5}{10}

   = 0.25 cm

The wire is 0.25 cm thick.

Question 14 Unsaved
defon

The correct answer is I disagree. Elements form all pure substances, but some pure substances include elements bonded together to form molecules and compounds.

Elements are pure substances but these elements also make other things such as water. The water molecule is made of two elements called oxygen and Hydrogen. Now water itself is a pure substance as it is chemically bonded hydrogen and Oxygen but it is composed of more than one element
