<span>Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion. Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.</span>

Zina [86]

The radial velocity method preferentially detects large planets close to the central star

  • what is the Radial velocity:

The radial velocity technique is able to detect planets around low-mass stars, such as M-type (red dwarf) stars.

This is due to the fact that low mass stars are more affected by the gravitational tug of planets.

When a planet orbits around a star, the star wobbles a little.

From this, we can determine the mass of the planet and its distance from the star.

hence we can say that,

option D is correct.

The radial velocity method preferentially detects large planets close to the central star

A 1500kg car traveling at 25m/s skids to a stop. The force of friction between the tires and the road is 10500N. How far does th
ale4655 [162]

44.64m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the car = 1500kg

Initial velocity = 25m/s

Frictional force = 10500N

Unknown:

Distance moved by the car after brake is applied = ?

Solution:

The frictional force is a force that  opposes motion of a body.

To solve this problem, we need to find the acceleration of the car. After this, we apply the appropriate motion equation to solve the problem.

     -Frictional force = m x a

the negative sign is because the frictional force is in the opposite direction

m is the mass of the car

 a is the acceleration of the car

    a = \frac{frictional force}{mass} = \frac{10500}{1500} = -7m/s²

Now using;

   V² = U² + 2as

   V is the final velocity

   U is the initial velocity

   a is the acceleration

   s is the distance moved

  0² = 25² + 2 x 7 x s

  0 = 625 - 14s

  -625 = -14s

      s = 44.64m

you toss a bowling ball straight up into the air with a speed of 2.1. how long does it take the bowling ball to reach its highes
omeli [17]
I am going to assume 2.1 metres per second and that we're rounding acceleration due to gravity to -10 metres per second squared. At the highest point, velocity is going to be 0. v= intial velocity + acceleration*time, sub in 0 for velocity, 2.1 for initial velocity and -10 for acceleration to get 0= 2.1-10t. Now solve for t. t=0.21 seconds.

Answer:

The <u>Fruit juice </u> should be put in the cooler, because <u>it has the greatest heat capacity</u> and will therefore, <u>absorb the most heat for each degree it increases in temperature.</u>

Explanation:

in order to understand the answer above we need to know what specific heat capacity is

       Specific heat capacity  can be defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree  

     Looking at the specific heat of each substance suggested we see that the fruit juice has a higher specific heat capacity than others this is because it contains a higher amount of water , generally liquid states of substances have a higher specific heat capacity than other states. The specific heat capacity of fruit juice being the highest among the suggested substances means that it can absorb  more heat for each degree temperature of refrigerator.
