Answer: Asteroids, meteoroids, and comets are remnants of the early solar system. This Statement is TRUE.

Explanation:

METEOROID: these are small rocky or metallic objects found in outer space.

ASTEROIDS: these are also known as minor planets of the inner solar system. They are irregularly shaped object in space that orbits the Sun.

COMETS: these are dusty chunk of ice, that moves in a highly elliptical orbit about the sun.

Asteroids, meteoroids, and comets as remnants of the early solar system was further proved in nebular hypothesis

initially proposed in the eighteenth century by German philosopher Immanuel Kant and French mathematician Pierre-Simon Laplace. (The word nebula means a gaseous cloud.) According to the modern version of the theory, about 4.5 to 5 billion years ago the solar system developed out of a huge cloud of gases and dust floating through space. These materials were at first very thin and highly dispersed.

Chapter 16, Problem 63. A person is standing in a room at 18 ◦C. The exposed surface area and skin temperature of the person are

Juliette [100K]

Answer: $Q=248.011 W$

Explanation:

Given

Temperature of Room $T_{\infty }=18^{\circ}\approx 291 K$

Area of Person $A=1.7 m^2$

Temperature of skin $T=32^{\circ}\approx 305 K$

Heat transfer coefficient $h=5 W/m^2.k$

Emissivity of the skin and clothes $\epsilon =0.9$

$\Delta T=32-18=14^{\circ}$

Total rate of heat transfer=heat Transfer due to Radiation +heat transfer through convection

Heat transfer due radiation $Q_1=\epsilon \sigma A(T^4-T_{\infty }^4 )$

where $\sigma =stefan-boltzman\ constant$

$Q_1=0.9\times 5.687\times 10^{-8}\times 1.7\times (305^4-291^4)$

$Q_1=129.01 W$

Heat Transfer due to convection is given by

$Q_2=hA(\Delta T)$

$Q_2=5\times 1.7\times 14=119 W$

$Q=Q_1+Q_2$

$Q=129.01+119=248.011 W$

how many times does the kinectic energy of a car increase when traveling 60 mph as opposed to traveling 30 mph

Bumek [7]

The car at 60 kph has 9 times more kinetic energy than the car traveling at 20 kph. This assumes that both cars have the same mass. Kinetic energy depends on the square of thee speed so if one car is going 3 times faster, its kinetic energy will be 3^2 ( = 9 ) greater. The car going at 60 kph will have 4 times the KE of the car going at 30 kph ( again assuming that the cars have the same mass.)

Which property help to explain differences in the specific heat capabilities of two substances

OLga [1]

Answer:

Forces between molecules

Explanation:

The tensions between molecules are the characteristic that explains variances in the specific heat capacity of two substances.

This means that a substance's specific heat capacity will increase or be higher the closer its atoms are bound together. As a result, it differs for the different states of matter, such as solid, liquid, and gas.

What type of seismic waves travel through Earth?

ycow [4]

Answer:d. Ground waves

Explanation:A P-wave is one of the two main types of seismic waves. P-waves travel faster than other seismic waves and hence are the first signal from an earthquake to arrive at any affected location or at a seismograph
