Answer:

Sam will do 1152 J of work to stop the boat

Explanation:

Work: This is defined as the product of force and distance, the S.I unit of work is Joules. At any point in science, during calculation Energy and worked can be interchange because they have the same unit.

E = W = 1/2mv²................ Equation 1

Where E = energy, W = work, m = mass, v = velocity.

Given: m = 900 kg, v = 1.6 m/s

Substituting these values into equation 1

W = 1/2(900)(1.6)²

W = 450×2.56

W = 1152 J.

Therefore Sam will do 1152 J of work to stop the boat

ollegr [7]

It is true that only half of the moon is always illuminated by the sun.  The reason why the moon changes it phases is because Moon orbits around the Earth, and due to this some areas of the half of the moon will not be lit by the sun.

A Perspex container has a 6 cm square base and contains
crimeas [40]

Answer:

a) V = 252 cm³

b) Vs = 72 cm³

Explanation:

a)

The volume of the water can be given by the following formula:

Volume\ of\ Water = V = (Base\ Area)(Height)\\V = (Length)^2(Height)\\V = (6\ cm)^2(7\ cm)\\

<u>V = 252 cm³</u>

<u></u>

b)

The volume of stone can be given by the change in volume of the water when the stone is dipped into it.

Volume\ of\ Stone = Vs = (Length)^2(Change\ in\ Height\ of\ Water)\\Vs = (6\ cm)^2(9\ cm - 7\ cm)\\

<u>Vs = 72 cm³</u>

Why must the Moon travel more than a full orbit around the Earth for the full moon to be complete?
kumpel [21]

Answer:

The difference between the sidereal and synodic months occurs becuase as our moon moves around the earth, the earth also moves around our sun. Our moon must travel a little farther in its path to make up for the added distance and complete the phase cycle.

Explanation:

Hope this helps.

given

We are told that Nathalie leaves a history classroom and walks 3 meters North

Then travels another 10 meters south to an art classroom.

Required

The total distance.

Step two:

The total distance can be computed by summing up the 3 meter North distance traveled and the 10 meter south distance traveled

Total distance= 3+10= 13meters

Describe what would happen if you rubbed a mineral with a Mohs hardness value of 7 against a mineral with a value of 5?
chubhunter [2.5K]
The mineral with Mohs hardness would be scratched because the mineral with Mohs 7 hardness is stronger than the Mohs 5 mineral. Eventually, that mineral would turn into dust if you kept rubbing it.
