Temperature is is a measure of how rapidly or slowly molecules move.
Molecules that move slower have lower temperature, and faster moving molecules have higher temperature.
The difference in temperature results in heat, which is transfer of energy.

4.5 billion km, the average separation between the sun and Neptune (report answer in hours). How long does it take light to trav

Liula [17]

Answer:

t = 4.17 hours

Explanation:

given,

The distance between Sun and Neptune, d = 4.5 billion Km

= 4.5 x 10⁹ Km

= 4.5 x 10¹¹ m

The velocity of light, c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

The velocity is always equal to displacement by the time.

V = d / t m/s

∴ t = d / V

= 4.5 x 10¹¹ m / 3 x 10⁸ m/s

= 15,000 s

= 4.17 h

Hence, the time taken by the light rays to reach the Neptune is, t = 4.17 h

Compare and contrast the inner and outer planets. (Must be in complete sentences) (At least 5 sentences).

Karolina [17]

To contrast inner and outer planets we will start with the climate of the planets and then move on to there lighting. To start the planets closet to the sun, mercury, venus, earth and mars, are all hot compared to the further one, jupiter, saturn, uranus, neptune. This distance also makes the farthe away planets darker than the ones closer. Now to compare all the planets vary from either gass or solid, rocky or icy. All of them spin around the sun and all have objects spinning around them, moons.

A 16.2 kg person climbs up a uniform ladder with negligible mass. The upper end of the ladder rests on a frictionless wall. The

S_A_V [24]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the balance of forces. We will decompose the forces in the vertical and horizontal sense, and at the same time, we will perform summation of torques to eliminate some variables and obtain a system of equations that allow us to obtain the angle.

The forces in the vertical direction would be,

$\sum F_x = 0$

$f-N_w = 0$

$N_w = f$

The forces in the horizontal direction would be,

$\sum F_y = 0$

$N_f -W =0$

$N_f = W$

The sum of Torques at equilibrium,

$\sum \tau = 0$

$Wdcos\theta - N_wLsin\theta = 0$

$WdCos\theta = fLSin\theta$

$f = \frac{Wd}{Ltan\theta}$

The maximum friction force would be equivalent to the coefficient of friction by the person, but at the same time to the expression previously found, therefore

$f_{max} = \mu W=\frac{Wd}{Ltan\theta}$

$\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{d}{\mu L})$

Replacing,

$\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{0.9}{0.42*2})$

$\theta = 46.975\°$

Therefore the minimum angle that the person can reach is 46.9°

When we go up From the earth surface.what happens about the atmospheric pressure

topjm [15]

Answer:

There are two reasons why air pressure decreases as altitude increases: density and depth of the atmosphere. Most gas molecules in the atmosphere are pulled close to Earth's surface by gravity, so gas particles are denser near the surface.

At what speed will a box be falling at a time t = 0.75 s after being dropped?

IRINA_888 [86]

Explanation:

Initial speed(u)= 0 m/s (Ball is dropped)

time(t)= 0.75 s

acceleration(a)= 10 m/s² (gravity)

Final speed(v)= u+at

v=0+(10)× 0.75

v=7.5 m/s

Speed is 7.5 m/s
