Yes, John Glenn was the first to orbit the earth but the question I read was who WALKED ON THE MOON.....the answer to who was the FIRST to walk on the moon... is Neil Armstrong but Buzz Aldrin also walked and was there with Armstrong but wasn't the first. You have to be careful about the astronaut 'firsts'. Alan Shepherd was the first in space....John Glenn was the first to orbit the earth....Edward White was the first to 'walk in space' and Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon. Also remember that all of these were American Astronaut firsts. The Russians actually put up the first man in space. Yuri Gagarin was the first man. Buzz Aldrin landed and walked on the moon also.

Distinguish between directly proportional and inversely proportional with an example of each

RideAnS [48]

Consider two variables said to be "inversely proportional" to each other. If all other variables are held constant, the magnitude or absolute value of one inversely proportional variable decreases if the other variable increases, while their product (the constant of proportionality k) is always the same.

Which of these is true about kinetic energy but not necessarily true about potential energy

cestrela7 [59]

Kinetic energy is never negative, but potential energy can be.

Potential energy depends on height above some reference level,
and you can pick any level you want as the reference. So, if the
object is below the reference level you pick, then its potential
energy relative to your reference level is negative.

What that means is: You have to lift it / do work on it / give it more
energy than it has now ... in order to move it to the reference level.

(That's exactly the situation with electrons bound to an atom. Their
energy is considered negative, because we have to do work and
give them more energy to rip them away from the atom.)
_____________________________________

Regarding the other choices:

-- Kinetic energy is scalar ... Yes. So is potential energy.

-- Kinetic energy increases with height ...
No. It doesn't, but potential energy does.

-- Kinetic energy depends on position ...
No. It doesn't, but potential energy does.

A block is resting on a platform that is rotating at an angular speed of 2.4 rad/s. The coefficient of static friction between t

Sloan [31]

Answer:

r = 0m is the Minimum distance from the axis at which the block can remain in place wothout skidding.

Explanation:

From a sum of forces:

$Ff = m*a$ where Ff = μ * N and $a = \frac{V^2}{r}=\omega^2*r$

N - m*g = 0 So, N = m*g. Replacing everything on the original equation:

$\mu*m*g = m*\omega^2*r$ (eq2)

Solving for r:

$r = \frac{\mu*g}{\omega^2}=1.41m$

If we analyze eq2 you can conclude that as r grows, the friction has to grow (assuming that ω is constant), so the smallest distance would be 0 and the greatest 1.41m. Beyond that distance, μ has to be greater than 0.83.

Carlos is making phosphorous trichloride using the equation below. He adds 15 g of phosphorus.

Degger [83]

Given:

The balanced chemical reaction of the synthesis of phosphorus trichloride:

2P + 3Cl2 ===> 2PCl3

Initial amount of phosphorus = 15 grams

The amount of product produced from 15 grams of phosphorus:

15 grams / 31 g/mol * (2/2) = 66.46 grams PCl3

The amount of chlorine is 44.31 grams, nearest to 45 grams.
