Answer:

gravity

Explanation:

Earth Motion in Centripetal direction is due to the centripetal force on the Earth.

As we know that Earth revolves around the sun with the force on Earth due to the Sun towards it.

If we assume the motion of Earth to be circular motion around the Sun then the force due to which Earth maintains its circular trajectory is known as Centripetal force.

Here this centripetal force is the gravitational force of Sun towards it

So correct answer would be

GRAVITY

h =(3.7 - .58)m  = 3.12m

Now put PE into KE and we have to use the formula:

√2gh (g = gravity and h = height) therefor:

√2 x 9.8 x 3.12

= 7.82m/s

I hope this helps!

Explain how the fixed points are used when calibrating a thermometer. ​
8090 [49]

<u>Answer:</u>

First, the thermometer is dipped into boiling water, and the mercury inside the thermometer rises to a high level, called the boiling point. This level is then marked as 100°C. The thermometer is then dipped into melting ice, which causes the mercury level to fall to a point called the ice point. This point is then marked as 0°C. The length of the thermometer from the 0°C mark to the 100°C point is then divided into 100 equal sections, and the rest of the levels are marked accordingly.

How can you tell if an igneous rock has an intrusive or extrusive origin?
wariber [46]

Intrusive igneous rocks cool down from magma slowly because they form underneath the surface, that will make them have large crystals.

Extrusive igneous rocks cool down from lava rapidly because they form at the surface, so that will make them have small crystals.
