Answer: The correct answer is option(B.).

Explanation:

The co-formation theory explain that both moon and the earth are formed at same time from the primitive solar nebula (cloud made up of dust and gases) at the same and same place.

Where as capture theory suggests that the moon is an asteroid which was formed or created somewhere else in a solar system. And when the moon approached the earth planet it got captured by the earth's gravitational field.

Impact theory explains the formation of moon by the catastrophic collision between the earth and any planet half the size of earth's size.

Synchronous theory sheds the light on the rotation time, revolution time and sides of moon located from the surface of the earth.

Hence, the correct answer is option(B).

The correct answer is D. The movement of the molecules will gradually increase.

Explanation:

At the beginning of the model the state of matter of the water is solid, in this, particles have a defined arrangement and are together, which stops particles from moving freely and only allows them to vibrate. However, as the substance is heated the thermal energy (heat) increases in the sample, this causes particles to move more and the arrangement of it changes. Due to this, when the ice melts and there is liquid water particles move more than in solid states, which makes ice lacks a defined shape. Moreover, as the heat continues to increase the thermal and kinetic energy (movement) increases, indeed in gas state (water vapor) particles will move freely. This means the movement or kinetic energy in particles gradually increases in the model.

Students are given the following information about a 2.0 kg, motorized toy boat on water. what net force is exerted on the boat

Natasha_Volkova [10]

The motorized toy boat experiences a net force of 0 N between 4 s and 8 s.

The motorized toy boat moves at 8 m/s (u) at 4 s and at 8 m/s (v) at 8 s. We can calculate the acceleration (a) in that period using the following kinematic expression.

$a = \frac{v-u}{\Delta t} = \frac{8m/s-8m/s}{8s-4s} = 0 m/s^{2}$

The object with a mass (m) of 2.0 kg experiences an acceleration of 0 m/s². We can calculate the net force (F) in that period using Newton's second law of motion.

$F = m \times a = 2.0 kg \times 0 m/s^{2} = 0 N$
