Answer:

Capture Theory

Explanation:

According to capture theory, moon is passing space rock-asteroid which was captured into the orbit around the Earth due to gravity. Other planets have moons which are captured asteroid like Mars has two moons-Phobos and Deimos. Jupiter has many moons which are captured asteroids. Capture theory explains the difference in the composition of Earth and the moon.

The correct answer to the question above is the capture theory. The capture theory proposes that the moon was a passing asteroid pulled into the orbit by the Earth's gravity. It says that the moon was originally orbiting the sun, not the Earth.

1 Weather-Weather is the state of the atmosphere, describing for example the degree to which it is hot or cold, wet or dry, calm or stormy, clear or cloudy

 a Without the atmosphere, average temperature on Earth would be freezing! Below zero to be exact!

b The atmosphere protects us and animals from dangerous radiation from the Sun. Ultraviolet radiation is basically invisible rays of energy created by the sun.

cAlso, the atmosphere provides oxygen for humans and animals to breathe and C02 (Carbon dioxide) for plants. 

4 warmth 

5 yes it is The water on our Earth today is the same water that’s been here for nearly 5 billion years. Only a tiny bit of it has escaped out into space. As far as we know, new water hasn’t formed either.

That means there’s a very high chance the water in your glass is what thirsty dinosaurs were gulping about 65 million years ago.

wariber [46]

Answer:

Alburt Bandura

Explanation:

Rosalind has learned to be impulsive and seldom waits for her turn when playing with other children, this trait she has learned  from her father, who is also an impulsive man.

The theorist who would most likely suggest that Rosalind has learned to be impulsive from watching her father is Alburt Bandura. Alburt in his famous Bebo Doll experiment confirmed that children learn from the adults behavior in their life.

Consider a river flowing toward a lake at an average speed of 3 m/s at a rate of 550 m3/s at a location 58 m above the lake surf
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

1. 0.574 kJ/kg

2. 315.7 MW

Explanation:

1. The mechanical energy per unit mass of the river is given by:

E_{m} = E_{k} + E_{p}

E_{m} = \frac{1}{2}v^{2} + gh

Where:

Ek is the kinetic energy

Ep is the potential energy

v is the speed of the river = 3 m/s

g is the gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h is the height = 58 m

E_{m} = \frac{1}{2}(3 m/s)^{2} + 9.81 m/s^{2}*58 m = 0.574 kJ/Kg

Hence, the total mechanical energy of the river is 0.574 kJ/kg.

2. The power generation potential on the river is:

P = m(t)E_{m} = \rho*V(t)*E_{m} = 1000 kg/m^{3}*550 m^{3}/s*0.574 kJ/kg = 315.7 MW

Therefore, the power generation potential of the entire river is 315.7 MW.

I hope it helps you!

According to Newton’s first law of motion, when will an object at rest begin to move?
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Newton's first law of motion says something like "An object remains
in constant, uniform motion until acted on by an external force".

Constant uniform motion means no change in speed or direction.
If an object changes from rest to motion, that's definitely a change
of speed.  So it doesn't remain in the state of constant uniform
motion (none) that it had when it was at rest, and that tells us
that an external force must have acted on it.
