Answer:

Asteroids

Explanation:

Asteroids are the small and large block of rocks that are found to be scattering space. There are numerous asteroids present in the asteroid belt which is located between the planet of Mars and Jupiter. These range from a few meters to hundreds of kilometers. They move so rapidly, at about 80,000 km/hr and there occurs constant collision with one another. These asteroids sometimes enter into the atmosphere of earth, which can cause a great mass extinction event.

These are believed to be the remnants particles that are present in space right after the formation of the solar system.

The density of ice is 0.93 g/cm3. what is the volume, in cm3, of a block of ice whose mass is 5.00 kg? remember to select an ans

serious [3.7K]

The Volume of the ice block is 5376.344 cm^3.

The density of a material is define as the mass per unit volume.

Here, the density of ice given is 0.93 g/cm^3

Mass of the ice block given is 5 kg or 5000 g

Now calculate the volume of the ice block

density=mass/volume

0.93=5000/Volume

Volume =5376.344 cm^3

Therefore the volume of ice block is 5376.344 cm^3

Describe the electron transfers that occur in the formation of calcium fluoride from elemental calcium and elemental fluorine.

boyakko [2]

Answer:

Check explanation

Explanation:

In the formation of calcium fluoride we take calcium and fluorine.

in elemental form calcium exist in solid form and fluorine in gaseous form.

formation of compound takes place to complete their octet, in case of calcium need to remove two electron and need to add one elecron in fluorine to complete their octet so two electron will ransferred from calcium to two fluorine atom.

Change in Energy Quick Check

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

The force of gravity on the object decreases. (FALSE)

The potential energy of the object decreases. (TRUE)

The acceleration due to gravity decreases. (FALSE)

The kinetic energy of the object decrease (FALSE)

Explanation:

FORCE OF GRAVITY:

Force of gravity on the object is the weight of object, which depends upon the mass and value of acceleration due to gravity (W = mg). Since, the value mass is constant on Earth and acceleration due to gravity is also constant on earth.

Therefore, force of gravity remains same on the object. The statement is false.

POTENTIAL ENERGY:

Potential energy of object depends upon the mass, value of acceleration due to gravity, and change in height of object (P.E = mgΔh). Since, the value mass is constant on Earth and acceleration due to gravity increases as the object moves towards the surface of earth. But, the height of object is decreasing.

Therefore, potential energy of object decreases. The statement is true.

ACCELERATION DUE TO GRAVITY:

Acceleration due to gravity depends upon the altitude (gh = g[1 - 2h/Re]). Since, the height of object is decreasing.

Therefore, acceleration due to gravity increases. The statement is false.

But, this change is not significant.

KINETIC ENERGY:

Kinetic Energy of object, which depends upon the mass and velocity of the object (K.E = mv²/2). Since, the value mass is constant on Earth and velocity increases as the object moves towards the surface of earth.

Therefore, kinetic energy of the object also increases. The statement is false.

Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy in an object. It is energy in an object due to its motion, position

german

Mechanical energy is made when something is moved. The energy that is moving is kinetic. And potential energy is stored energy. Mechanical energy can be used to store energy and to cause moving energy. For instance: a slingshot. Pulling back the band creates potential energy and releasing it creates kinetic energy.
