A planet is a celestial body that is in orbit around the Sun, has sufficient mass for its self-gravity<span> to overcome rigid </span>body forces<span> so that it assumes a</span>hydrostatic equilibrium<span> (nearly round) </span>shape<span>, and (c) has cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit.</span>

What are two ways in which the suns energy can be captured and used?
My name is Ann [436]

The oldest way ... the way we've been using as long as we've been
walking on the Earth ... has been to use plants.  Plants sit out in the
sun all day, capturing its energy and using it to make chemical compounds. 
Then we come along, cut the plants down, and eat them.  Our bodies
rip the chemical compounds apart and suck the solar energy out of them,
and then we use the energy to walk around, sing, and play video games.  

Another way to capture the sun's energy is to build a dam across a creek
or a river, so that the water can't flow past it.  You see, it was the sun's
energy that evaporated the water from the ocean and lifted it high into
the sky, giving it a lot of potential energy.  The rain falls on high ground,
up in the mountains, so the water still has most of that potential energy
as it drizzles down the river to the ocean.  If we catch it on its way, we
can use some of that potential energy to turn wheels, grind our grain,
turn our hydroelectric turbines to get electrical energy ... all kinds of jobs. 

A modern, recent new way to capture some of the sun's energy is to use
photovoltaic cells.  Those are the flat blue things that you see on roofs
everywhere.  When the sun shines on them, they convert some of its
energy into electrical energy.  We use some of what they produce, and
we store the rest in giant batteries, to use when the sun is not there.

Pls help my science teacher is a horrible teacher...
Anettt [7]

First of all, looks like your teacher is indeed pretty horrible. Secondly, the constraints to consider would be proper weight distribution, methods to minimize excessive motion of the building structure, and quantities such as volume and density, which would help in determining the optimal structure. Keeping the frequency of oscillation for a building low in case of an earthquake or natural disaster would also be a priority.

A 73-kg Norwegian olympian ski champion is going down a hill sloped at 39 ◦ . The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sk
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

net force on the skier = mg sin 39 - μ mg cos39

mg ( sin39 - μ cos39 )

= 73 x 9.8 ( .629 - .116)

= 367 N

impulse = net force x time = change in momentum .

= 367 x 5 = 1835 kg m /s

velocity of the skier after 5 s = 1835 / 73

= 25.13 m /s

b )

net force becomes zero

mg ( sin39 - μ cos39 ) = 0

μ = tan39

= .81

c )

net force becomes zero , so he will continue to go ahead with constant speed of 25.13 m /s

so he will have speed of 25.13 m /s after 5 s .

6. A warehouse employee is pushing a 15.0 kg desk across a floor at a constant speed of 0.50 m/s. How much work must the employe
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

7.5 J

Explanation:

To answer the question given above, we need to determine the energy that will bring about the speed of 1 m/s. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 15 Kg

Velocity (v) = 1 m/s

Energy (E) =?

E = ½mv²

E = ½ × 15 × 1²

E = ½ × 15 × 1

E = ½ × 15

E = 7.5 J

Therefore, to change the speed to 1 m/s, the employee must do a work of 7.5 J.
