Answer:

C) Both have rocky composition

Explanation

Earth has rocks. Many many rocks.

It is made of many type of rocks such as sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks. and guess what a asteroid is? That is right ! A ROCK.
A asteroid is normally made of stony silicate rocks , but not always , sometimes I can be diamonds!! The point is , they both are rocks floating around space.

What relation does the boiling point of an amine have to a similar hydrocarbon?

den301095 [7]

Answer:

Amine have higher boiling points than hydrocarbons.

Explanation:

Primary, secondary and tertiary amines have higher boiling points than hydrocarbons because they can engage in intermolecular hydrogen bonding.

Amines has three classes

1. Primary amines

2. Secondary amines

3. Tertiary amines

All this classes of amines have higher boiling point than hydrocarbons due to C-N bond in them

This is because amines can engage in hydrogen bonding with water, amines of low molar mass are quite soluble in water.

Amines are having higher boiling points than hydrocarbons, as C-N bond in amines is more polar than a C-C bond in hydrocarbons. Due to the polar nature of amines, it forms intermolecular H-bonds and exists as associated molecules.

The 45-g arrow is launched so that it hits and embeds in a 1.40 kg block. The block hangs from strings. After the arrow joins th

worty [1.4K]

Question: How fast was the arrow moving before it joined the block?

Answer:

The arrow was moving at 15.9 m/s.

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy says that the kinetic energy of the arrow must be converted into the potential energy of the block and arrow after it they join:

$\dfrac{1}{2}m_av^2 = (m_b+m_a)\Delta Hg$

where $m_a$ is the mass of the arrow, $m_b$ is the mass of the block, $\Delta H$ of the change in height of the block after the collision, and $v$ is the velocity of the arrow before it hit the block.

Solving for the velocity $v$ , we get:

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2(m_b+m_a)\Delta Hg}{m_a} }$

and we put in the numerical values

$m_a = 0.045kg$ ,

$m_b = 1.40kg,$

$\Delta H = 0.4m,$

$g= 9.8m/s^2$

and simplify to get:

$\boxed{ v= 15.9m/s}$

The arrow was moving at 15.9 m/s

A thin uniform rod (length = 1.2 m, mass = 2.0 kg) is pivoted about a horizontal, frictionless pin through one end of the rod. (

Anika [276]

Answer:

$a=9.8 rad/s^{2}$

Explanation:

Torque, $\tau$ is given by

$\tau=Fr$ where F is force and r is perpendicular distance

$R=0.5Lcos\theta$ where $\theta$ is the angle of inclination

Torque, $\tau$ can also be found by

$\tau=Ia$ where I is moment of inertia and a is angular acceleration

Therefore, Fr=Ia and F=mg where m is mass and g is acceleration due to gravity

Making a the subject, $a=\frac {Fr}{I}=\frac {mgr}{I}$ and already I is given as

$I=\frac {mL^{2}}{3} and r is 0.5Lcos\theta$ hence

$a=\frac {0.5mgLcos\theta}{1/3 mL^{2}}$

$a=\frac {3gcos\theta}{2L}$

Taking g as 9.81, $\theta$ is given as 37 and L is 1.2

$a=\frac {3*9.81cos37}{2*1.2}=9.7932679419$

$a=9.8 rad/s^{2}$

A transverse wave on a long horizontal rope with a

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

2 seconds

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave is related to its wavelength and speed by the equation

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}$

where

f is the frequency

v is the speed of the wave

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

For the wave in this problem,

v = 2 m/s

$\lambda=8 m$

So the frequency is

$f=\frac{2}{8}=0.25 Hz$

The period of a wave is equal to the reciprocal of the frequency, so for this wave:

$T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{0.25}=4 s$

This means that the wave takes 4 seconds to complete one full cycle.

Therefore, the time taken for the wave to go from a point with displacement +A to a point with displacement -A is half the period, therefore for this wave:

$t=\frac{T}{2}=\frac{4}{2}=2 s$
