Answer:

C. 1.50×10¹¹ m

Explanation:

First, convert the time to seconds.

8 min × (60 s/min) + 20 s = 500 s

Distance = speed × time

d = (3×10⁸ m/s) (500 s)

d = 1.50×10¹¹ m

Explain the increase in pressure of a gas when its volume is decreased at constant<br> temperature.
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

For a gas held at constant temperature, we can apply Boyle's law, which states that the product between the gas pressure and its volume is constant:

PV=const.

where

P is the pressure

V is the volume

As we see from the equation, P and V are inversely proportional to each other: this means that when the volume is decreased, the pressure increases, and vice-versa. The reason for that is that when the volume is decreased, the gas is compressed, so the molecules of the gas come closer to each other, so they collide more frequently with the wall of the container, exerting therefore a greater pressure.

A military helicopter on a training mission is flying horizontally at a speed of 90.0 m/s when it accidentally drops a bomb (for
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

1) 10.1 s  2) 909 m 3) 90.0 m/s 4) -99m/s 5) just over the bomb.

Explanation:

1)

  • In the vertical direction, as the bomb is dropped, its initial velocity is 0.
  • So, we can find the time required for the bomb to reach the earth, applying the following kinematic equation for displacement:

       \Delta y = \frac{1}{2}*a*t^{2} (1)

  • where Δy = -500 m (taking the upward direction as positive).
  • a=-g=-9.8 m/s²
  • Replacing these values in (1), and solving for t, we have:

       t =\sqrt{\frac{2*\Delta y}{-g}} = \sqrt{\frac{2*(-500m)}{-9.8m/s2}} = 10.1 s

  • The time required for the bomb to reach the earth is 10.1 s.

2)

  • In the horizontal direction, once released from the helicopter, no external influence acts on the bomb, so it will continue moving forward at the same speed. that it had, equal to the helicopter.
  • As the time must be the same for both movements, we can find the horizontal displacement just as the product of this speed times the time, as follows:

       x = v_{0x} * t = 90.0 m/s * 10.1 s = 909 m.

3)

  • The horizontal component of the bomb's velocity is the same that it had when left the helicopter. i.e. 90 m/s.

4)

  • In order to find the vertical component of the bomb's velocity just before it strikes the earth, we can apply the definition of acceleration, remembering that v₀ = 0, as follows:

        v_{f} = -g*t = -9.8 m/s2*10.1 s = -99 m/s

5)

  • If the helicopter keeps flying horizontally at the same speed, it will be always over the bomb, as both travel horizontally at the same speed.
  • So, when the bomb hits the ground, the helicopter will be exactly over it.

In which area of the sun does gas rise as it heats up, then fall back down as it cools
Marrrta [24]
Convection Zone: Just beneath the photosphere, and extending inward to about 0.7 Rsun, is the convection zone. Energy generated in the core of the Sun moves outward through this layer by a boiling motion in which hot plasma rises, releases some of its energy, cools, and then sinks again.

Explain how your battery works. (You may want to look at the Electric Current lesson) What are some possible materials you could
Lisa [10]

Answer:

A battery is made up of three parts. The Cathode (positive end +) , the Anode (negative end -) and the electrolyte. The electrolyte allows electrical charges to travel between the cathode and anode. This chemical reactions creates the flow of electricity supplying the electrical voltage potential to power a circuit.

Typical materials of a battery are as follows

- Anode most often is made of zinc

- Manganese dioxide acting as Cathode.

- the electrolyte between and inside contains ions
