Harman [31]3 years ago

Earlier in the text this question is provided for, you should be able to find the passage, "The currently accepted theory attributes ice ages to small changes in Earth's orbit, known as Milankovitch cycles. These cycles describe how Earth's orbit gradually changes shape from more circular to more elliptical and back again. This happens roughly every 100,000 years. The orbital changes take Earth nearer and further from the Sun, which would affect the amount of energy reaching Earth."

Answer: Small changes in Earth's orbit

A 3.0-kg object moves to the right with a speed of 2.0 m/s. It collides in a perfectly elastic collision with a 6.0-kg object mo
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the system after the collision is 9 J.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of object 1, m₁ = 3 kg

Speed of object 1, v₁ = 2 m/s

Mass of object 2, m₂ = 6 kg

Speed of object 2, v₂ = -1 m/s (it is moving in left)

Since, the collision is elastic. The kinetic energy of the system before the collision is equal to the kinetic energy of the system after the collision. Let it is E. So,

E=\dfrac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2+\dfrac{1}{2}m_2v_1^2

E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3\ kg\times (2\ m/s)^2+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 6\ kg\times (-1\ m/s)^2

E = 9 J

So, the kinetic energy of the system after the collision is 9 J. Hence, this is the required solution.

A ball is thrown directly downward with an initial speed of 7.65 m/s froma height of 29.0 m. After what time interval does it st
coldgirl [10]

Answer: 1.77 s

Explanation: In order to solve this problem we have to use the kinematic equation for the position, so we have:

xf= xo+vo*t+(g*t^2)/2  we can consider the origin on the top so the xo=0 and xf=29 m; then

(g*t^2)/2+vo*t-xf=0  vo is the initail velocity, vo=7.65 m/s

then by solving the quadratric equation in t

t=1.77 s

The following picture shows some give reasons. Please answer it and I will mark you as brainliest......
kaheart [24]

a) earth acts as a lange magnetic. Therefore when a magnet is hanging freely, it points towards the magnetic poles (like a compass)

b) like poles repel and unlike poles attracts. We can conclude with repulsion that poles are same

c) In our everyday experience aluminum doesn't stick to magnets. (under normal circumstances aluminum isn't visibly magnetic)

A small, positively charged ball is moved close to a large, positively charged ball. which describes how the small ball likely r
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer;

-it will move away from the large ball because like charges repel.

Explanation;

-Electric force is the force that pushes apart two like charges, or that pulls together two unlike charges. The basic law of electrostatics Like charges of electricity repel each other, whereas unlike charges attract each other.

When small, positively charged ball is moved close to a large, positively charged ball it would be pushed away from the large positively charged ball since they are both positively charged. One has to put in energy to try to move the small ball closer to the large ball. The closer one try to move it to the large ball, the more energy one has to put in, so the more electrical potential energy the small ball would have.

What is the current through a 11v bulb with a power of 99w
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

9.01amp

Explanation:

Power = V^2/R

Given that v = 11volts, P = 99watts

99 = 11^2/R

11×11 = 99R

121= 99R

R = 121/99

R= 1.22ohms

From ohms Law; V = IR

11volts = I × 1.22ohms

I = 11/1.23

I = 9.01 amp
