The sun is the original source of energy

because the plants feed from the sun and the animals eat the plants and then the animals eat the plant eating animals.

1. Can someone help me with this? :) Which object is made of frozen gas, ice, and dust that orbits in the outermost reaches of t

Rus_ich [418]

1. Kuiper Belt object is made of frozen is made of frozen gas, ice, and dust that orbits in the outermost reaches of the solar system. Kuiper belt is a region which is filled with icy gaz bodies. Its structure is almost the same as the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Pluto, Makemake, Haumea are the officially recognized planets which are located in this region. 2. In my opinion, the most suitable option is: 3) The planets formed at the center of a collapsing spinning cloud of gas and dust. According to theory of solar system formation, the solar system appeared after a supernova (star explosion). A cloud of gas and dust was collapsed, and it caused a formation of a solar nebula.

A car travels from Boston to Hartford in 4 hours. The two cities are 240 kilometers apart. What was the average speed of the car

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Average speed is 60 km/hour

Explanation:

When we need to calculate average speed, we use this equation:

$V = \frac{x_{f} - x_{o}}{t_{f} - t_{o}}$

Where: $x_{o} = 0 km$ position at the beginning

$x_{f} = 240 km$ at the end

$t_{o} = 0 hours$

$t_{f} = 4 hours$

Then: $V = \frac{240 km - 0 km}{4 hours - 0 hours}$

$V = \frac{240 km}{4 hours}$

Finally V = 60 km/hour

A 26.2-kg dog is running northward at 3.02 m/s, while a 5.30-kg cat is running eastward at 2.74 m/s. Their 65.1-kg owner has the

REY [17]

Answer:

Angle with the +x axis is θ = 79.599degree

Then the velocity of owner = 1.235m/s

Explanation:

Given that the mass of dog is m1 =26.2 kg

velocity of dog is u1 = 3.02 m/s (north)

mass of cat is m2 = 5.3 kg

velocity is u2 = 2.74 m/s (east )

Mass of owner is M = 65.1 kg

Consider the east direction along +x axis andnorth along +y

momentum of dog is Py = m1 x u1

= 79.124 kg.m/s (j)

momentum of cat is Px = m2 x u2

= 14.522 kg.m/s (i)

Then the net magnitude of momentum is P = (Px2 + Py2)1/2

= 80.445

Angle with the +x axis is θ =tan-1(Py / Px ) = 79.599 degree

Then the velocity of owner is v = P / M = 1.235 m/s

If the mass of an object increases by a factor 2, kinetic energy?

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

A) Increases by a factor of 2

Explanation:

Kinetic energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.

Mathematically, kinetic energy is given by the formula;

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}MV^{2}$

Where;

K.E represents kinetic energy measured in Joules.

M represents mass measured in kilograms.

V represents velocity measured in metres per seconds square.

Given that mass, m = 2m

Substituting into the equation, we have;

K.E = ½mv²

K.E = ½*2mv²

Cross-multiplying, we have;

2K.E = 2mv²

Hence, if the mass of an object increases by a factor 2, kinetic energy is increased by a factor of 2.

Is gas matter? How do you know? Hint: Remember there are 2 things we need to be considered matter.

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

Gas is a state of matter that has no fixed shape and no fixed volume.

In addition to solids and liquids, gases are also a physical state in which matter can occur. All gases have weight. Unlike solids and liquids, gases will occupy the entire container that encloses them.

matter is "anything that has mass and volume (occupies space)

Gases have mass. The space between gas particles is empty. Gases can be formed as products in chemical reactions. Gas particles can form bonds between them under certain conditions

Gases have volume which isn't fixed (no fixed volume) and no fixed shape. Gases expand to fill the space available. They can also be compressed into a very small space.
