The sun is a huge ball of gas it is not necessarily on fire.

The sun is a huge ball of gas held together by gravity.

It does not burn the way wood does, due to oxygen, but it gets energy by a process called nuclear fusion, where Hydrogen is converted to Helium.

The sun will cease to "burn" when it runs out of Hydrogen, but that has a long way to go.

Which of the following solutions should be chosen to help restore an ecosystem naturally? A. reintroducing an animal to the ecos

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

A. reintroducing an animal to the ecosystem

Explanation:

As generally, all know that for restoring an ecosystem naturally, it requires reintroduction of an animal to the ecosystem. As though it helps in reimposing the ecosystem back, and also helps to improve our ecosystem in natural surroundings, natural terrain, and population density. Basically reintroducing an animal is also required for the balancing of the ecosystem. As everything requires a properly balanced nature.

A student standing on a knoll throws a snowball horizontally 4.5 meters above the level ground toward a smokestack 15 meters awa

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

2.4 m

Explanation:

Consider the motion along the vertical direction

$y_{o}$ = initial position of ball above the ground = 4.5 m

$t$ = time taken by the ball to hit the smokestack = 0.65 s

$v_{oy}$ = initial velocity of the ball along vertical direction

$a_{y}$ = acceleration due to gravity = - 9.8 m/s²

$y$ = position of ball at the time of hitting the smokestack

Using the kinematics equation

$y = y_{o} + v_{oy} t + (0.5) a_{y} t^{2}$

inserting the above values

$y = 4.5 + (0) (0.65) + (0.5) (- 9.8) (0.65)^{2} \\y = 2.4 m$

A 70.0 kg ice hockey goalie, originally at rest, has a 0.110 kg hockey puck slapped at him at a velocity of 31.5 m/s. Suppose th

NISA [10]

Answer

given,

mass of the goalie(m₁) = 70 kg

mass of the puck (m₂)= 0.11 kg

velocity of the puck = 31.5 m/s

elastic collision

$v_1=\dfrac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2}v_1+\dfrac{2m_2}{m_1+m_2}v_2$

$v_{pf}=\dfrac{0.11-70}{0.11+70}31.5+\dfrac{2m_2}{m_1+m_2}\times (0)$

$v_{pf}=-31.4\ m/s$

$v'_2 = \dfrac{2m_1v_1}{m_1+m_2}-\dfrac{(m_2-m_1)v_2}{m_2+m_1}$

$v_{gf} = \dfrac{2\times 0.11\times 31.5}{0.11+70}-\dfrac{(0.11-70)\times 0}{m_1+m_2}$

$v_{gf} = \dfrac{2\times 0.11\times 31.5}{0.11+70}$

$v_{gf} = 0.0988\ m/s$
