at a constant speed of 50,000 mph. According to Newton's laws of motion, the Voyagers will A) eventually slow down and come to a stop in the middle of interstellar space. B) continue to move in the same way forever, no matter what happens. C) continue to move in the same way until acted upon by a force. D) eventually slow down, turn around and come back to Earth.

Answer:

C

Explanation:

According to Newton's first law of motion, which states that a body will continue in its state of rest or uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force to change its state of rest or uniform motion. So, the Voyagers spacecraft will continue to move in the same way at the constant speed of 50,000 mph unless acted upon by a force.

Answer:

Option C is correct

Continue to move in the same way until acted upon by a force.

Explanation:

The newton's 1st law of motion states that:

<em>"If an object is at rest then it will stay at rest or if an object is in motion then it remains in motion at the same speed as before unless acted upon by some unbalanced force"</em>

The Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft are still moving at a constant speed of 50,000 mph and they will keep on moving at this rate unless some unbalanced force acts on them.

If you start with a substance as a solid, what will happen to the molecules as you add thermal energy (heat)?
AveGali [126]

Answer:

C. molecules speed up as more thermal energy is added

Explanation:

The molecules will simply speed up as more thermal energy is added to the solid.

Thermal energy is a form of kinetic energy which is set in motion.

  • Heat causes kinetic energy build up in a body.
  • As the molecules of the solid gains heat, they will continue to increase in thermal energy.
  • They are forced to start vibrating about their fixed point.
  • Thereafter, when they have enough energy, they break free from the forces holding them.
  • Therefore, they move from a state of rest to one with a very high kinetic energy where the molecules moves rapidly.
  • This is why a solid will change to liquid and sometimes eventually gas

A plastic tube allows a flow of 15.9 cm3 /s of water through it. how long will it take to fill a 237 cm3 bottle with water? answ
xxMikexx [17]
You are given a fixed rate of 15.9 cm³/s. You are also given with the amount of volume in 237 cm³. Through the approach of dimensional analysis, you can manipulate through operations such that the end result of the units must be in seconds. The solution is as follows:

237 cm³ * (1 s/15.9 cm³) = 14.9 seconds
