Answer:

A. Zero

Explanation:

The definition of work is related with the energy that a force 'F' implies in a displacement 'Δx'; it means that it is necessary that the body which is over the force comes under a displacement to develop work. The static friction is a force which is only present when there is no movement; when a force overcome the static friction force, the dynamic friction force appears and it is said that the static one disappear. In that sense, the static friction won't ever be a force that can induce a displacement, so the work done by this force will always be zero.

You are exploring a distant planet. When your spaceship is in a circular orbit at a distance of 630 km above the planet's surfac

Anarel [89]

Answer:

$R = 24.3 m$

Explanation:

As we know that the orbital speed is given as

$v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{R + h}}$

here we know that

v = 5500 m/s

$R = 4.48 \times 10^6 m$

$h = 630 km$

now we have

$5500 = \sqrt{\frac{(6.6 \times 10^{-11})M}{4.48 \times 10^6 + 6.30\times 10^5}}$

$M = 2.34 \times 10^24 kg$

now acceleration due to gravity of planet is given as

$a = \frac{GM}{R^2}$

$a = \frac{(6.6 \times 10^{-11})(2.34 \times 10^{24})}{(4.48\times 10^6)^2}$

$a = 7.7 m/s^2$

now range of the projectile on the surface of planet is given as

$R = \frac{v^2 sin2\theta}{g}$

$R = \frac{14.6^2 sin(2\times 30.8)}{7.7}$

$R = 24.3 m$

Why are the decomposers categorized as consumers? how do they differ from producers

QveST [7]

Hi! Decomposers (mainly soil bacterium, fungus, or invertebrate)<span /> are categorized as consumers due to the fact that they consume dead organic matter such as plants and animals. They differ from producers (green plants and some bacteria) because they do not produce their own food using photosynthesis or chemosythensis.

<span>In the labeled portion of the curve ,you use the heat of vaporization to calculate the heat absorbed in the 4th portion. It is indicated in the picture that it is the region where vaporization occurs, that is why you need to consider this portion to calculate.</span>
