All of the planets and their satellites orbit the Sun in the same direction, and all their orbits lie near the same plane. True

MissTica

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The Sun rotates in the counterclockwise (CCW) direction when seen from its north pole. Since, the planets revolve around the Sun because of its gravity, the revolution of all the planets and their moons as seen from the north of the Sun is in CCW direction.

In fact most of the solar system bodies rotate in the same direction that is CCW. Some major exceptions to this are Venus and Uranus.

Almost all the planets and moons were made from the planetary disk around the Sun. Thus, they lie nearly in the same plane.

The current through a 10 ohm resistor connected to a 120 volt power supply is

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:I=12 A

Explanation:

Given

Resistance $R=10 \Omega$

Voltage $V=120 V$

According to ohm's law current through a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage applied.

$V\propto I$

$V=IR$

where V=Voltage

I=Current

R=resistance

$I=\frac{V}{R}$

$I=\frac{120}{10}$

$I=12 A$

Uranium-235 decays to thorium-231 with a half-life of 700 million years. When a rock was formed, it contained 6400 million urani

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

proof in explanation

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the number of half-lives:

$n = \frac{t}{t_{1/2}}$

where,

n = no. of half-lives = ?

t = total time passed = 2100 million years

$t_{1/2}$ = half-life = 700 million years

Therefore,

$n = \frac{2100\ million\ years}{700\ million\ years}\\\\n = 3$

Now, we will calculate the number of uranium nuclei left ( $n_u$ ):

$n_u = \frac{1}{2^{n} }(total\ nuclei)\\\\n_u = \frac{1}{2^{3} }(6400\ million)\\\\n_u = \frac{1}{8}(6400\ million)\\\\n_u = 800\ million$

and the rest of the uranium nuclei will become thorium nuclei ( $u_{th}$ )

$n_{th} = total\ nuclei - n_u\\n_{th} = 6400\ million-800\ million\\n_{th} = 5600\ million$

dividing both:

$\frac{n_{th}}{n_u}=\frac{5600\ million}{800\ million} \\\\n_{th} = 7n_u$

Hence, it is proven that after 2100 million years there are seven times more thorium nuclei than uranium nuclei in the rock.

If the car ha a mass of 1000 kilograms, what is its momentum (v=35m/s)

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

The momentum of the car is 35,000 kg.m/s

Explanation:

Momentum

Momentum is often defined as mass in motion.

Since all objects have mass, if it's moving, then it has momentum. It can be calculated as the product of the mass by the velocity of the object:

$\vec p = m\vec v$

If only magnitudes are considered:

p = mv

The car has a mass of m=1,000 kg and travels at v=35 m/s. Calculating its momentum:

p = 1,000 kg * 35 m/s

p = 35,000 kg.m/s

The momentum of the car is 35,000 kg.m/s
