Answer:

The Sun is the major source of energy for organisms and the ecosystems of which they are a part. Producers such as plants, algae, and cyanobacteria use the energy from sunlight to make organic matter from carbon dioxide and water. This establishes the beginning of energy flow through almost all food webs.

In 1-2 sentences describe how your nose cleans the air you inhale.

svp [43]

Answer: Your nose inhales O2 and goes through these little nose hairs to keep stuff that doesn't belong in your airway, it goes through your nose into your lungs taking in O2 for your blood. The other substances that you have inhaled get absorbed elsewhere and it is converted into CO2 which is what you exhale.

A rocket ship is accelerating at 200 m/s2, its mas is 135,000,000 kg. What is the force generated by this acceleration?

Rina8888 [55]

Acceleration does NOT "generate" force. Acceleration NEEDS force to make it happen. Without force ... provided by something else ... acceleration can't happen.

The force NEEDED to accelerate a mass with a certain acceleration is

Force needed = (mass) times (acceleration)

For the rocket ship in the question,

Force = (135,000,000 kg) times (200 m/s²)

Force = (135,000,000 x 200) kg-m/s²

Force = 27 Giga-Newtons (27,000,000,000 Newtons)

The gas-generator cycle F-1 rocket engine, developed in the US by Rocketdyne in the late 1950s, was used in the Saturn V rocket, the main launch vehicle of NASA's Apollo moon lander program . Five F-1 engines were used in the first stage of each Saturn V.

==> The thrust of each F-1 engine at full throttle is 7,770 kilo-Newtons.

It would take 3,475 of these F-1 rocket engines, running full-throttle, to provide the force calculated in the answer to this question. If you didn't have 3,475 F-1 rocket engines, then you couldn't accelerate 135,000,000 kg at 200 m/s².

(And by the way ... the mass of each F-1 engine is 8,400 kg. So 3,475 engines alone account for 22% of the mass you're trying to accelerate. And don't even get me started about the mass of the FUEL you'd need to carry.)

“Force of impact”is:

Bumek [7]

In mechanics, an impact is a highforce or shock applied over a short time period when two or more bodies collide. Such a force or acceleration usually has a greater effect than a lower force applied over a proportionally longer period. ... Resilient materials will have betterimpact resistance.

A basketball rolls without slipping (starting from rest) down a ramp. If the ramp is sloped by an angle of 4 degrees above the h

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

11.7 m/s

Explanation:

To find its speed, we first find the acceleration of the center of mass of a rolling object is given by

a = gsinθ/(1 + I/MR²) where θ = angle of slope = 4, I = moment of inertia of basketball = 2/3MR²

a = 9.8 m/s²sin4(1 + 2/3MR²/MR²)

= 9.8 m/s²sin4(1 + 2/3)

= 9.8 m/s²sin4 × (5/3)

= 1.14 m/s²

To find its speed v after rolling for 60 m, we use

v² = u² + 2as where u = initial speed = 0 (since it starts from rest), s = 60 m

v = √(u² + 2as) = √(0² + 2 × 1.14 m/s × 60 m) = √136.8 = 11.7 m/s

Which of the following statements best explains why the table of known elements is called the "periodic table"? A. The table is

FromTheMoon [43]

It's called the periodic table because it arranges the elements the into repeating sets known as periods. this is defined by the covalence of an element and the number of electrons i has in its outermost shell. I feel the the Best answer would be B. sorry if im wrong but i hope i helped :)
