<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

D. anemometer

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

<u><em>An anemometer is an instrument that is used for measuring the speed of the wind. It is a common weather station instrument. </em></u>
<em><u>Some anemometers are designed to measure both the speed of the wind and the direction of the wind. wind direction is given from where the wind is coming from to where it is going to.</u></em>
<em><u>Wind vane on the other hand is an instrument that is used to show the direction of the wind It may be found as part of the anemometer to determine wind's direction.</u></em>

The correct answer is letter D. Anemometer. It is a device that is used to measure wind speed. It is a very common weather station instrument and is available to use and to make. Anemos, from the greek word that means wind.

What information do you think the temperatures of stars give us?

Paul [167]

Explanation:

One way of classifying stars is by their temperature .

Science strives to be able to describe how stars and planets form and evolve. This requires theories to describe the processes which include:

Star and planet formation

Star and planet composition

Stellar and solar system evolution

The nuclear processes happening inside stars

The scientific method means that all theories are put to the test. By measuring or calculating the temperature, age and composition of other planets and stars the theories can be tested. If observed values of these parameters are not predicted by theories, then the theories are wrong and need to be revised or replaced.

EC_1 + EP_1 = EC2 + EP_2

EC_2 = 0

EC_2 = EP_1 - EP_2

EC_2 = mg(H_1 - H_2) = 0.20 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * (3.25 m - 1.5m) = 3.43 J

A man does 4,780 J of work in the process of pushing his 2.70 103 kg truck from rest to a speed of v, over a distance of 25.5 m.

wolverine [178]

Answer:

(A) Velocity will be 1.88 m/sec

(b) Force will be 187.45 N

Explanation:

We have given work done = 4780 j

Distance d = 25.5 m

(A) Mass of the truck m = $m=2.70\times 10^3kg$

We know that kinetic energy is given by

$KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

So $v=\sqrt{\frac{2KE}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 4780}{2.7\times 10^3}}=1.88m/sec$

(B) We know that work done is given by

W = Fd

So $F=\frac{W}{d}=\frac{4780}{25.5}=187.45N$

Ket [755]

Answer:

Perfectly inelastic collision

Explanation:

There are two types of collision.

1. Elastic collision : When the momentum of the system and the kinetic energy of the system is conserved, the collision is said to be elastic. For example, the collision of two atoms or molecules are considered to be elastic collision.

2. Inelastic collision: When the momentum the system is conserved but the kinetic energy is not conserved, the collision is said to be inelastic. For example, collision of a ball with the mud.

For a perfectly elastic collision, the two bodies stick together after collision.

Here, the meteorite collide with the Mars and buried inside it, the collision is said to be perfectly inelastic. here the kinetic energy of a body lost completely during the collision.
