The first international standard of length was a metal bar kept at the International Bureau of Weights and Measures. One meter o

f length was defined to be the distance between two fine lines engraved near the ends of the bar. Why was it important that the bar be kept at a constant temperature?

Answer:

International Bureau of Weights and Measures have the standard bar for one meter length and it is made up of the platinium-iridium alloy. As these are metals so they have the thermal expansion. So the length of the bar depends upon the temperature. Temperature changes can effect the length of the standard bar. That's reason behind keeping the bar at the constant temperature as the change in temperature will result in the change of length.

A) According to the nebular theory, the Solar System formed from a huge gaseous nebula which at a certain point was perturbated. Atoms and molecules started colliding, forming planetesimals (a sort of big rocks). The planetesimals were attracted to each other by gravity, forming bigger warm almost spherical objects called protoplanets, which at the end cooled down forming planets.
Therefore the correct answer is "all of the above".

b) The planets closer to the Sun were (and still are) subject to higher temperatures, due to their close distance to the Sun. In these conditions, rocky materials undergo condensation, while iced gaseous materials undergo vaporization. In the outer parts of the Solar System temperatures are too low to allow these transformations.
The correct answer is again "all of the above".

After a collision between two different massed objects; the larger objects accelerate at a faster rate than the smaller object?
Nitella [24]

Answer: Things continue doing what they are doing unless a force is applied to it. Objects have a natural tendency to resist change. This is INERTIA. Heavier objects (objects with more mass) are more difficult to move and stop. Heavier objects (greater mass) resist change more than lighter objects, so true

Explanation:

Pushing a bicycle or a Cadillac, or stopping them once moving. The more massive the object (more inertia) the harder it is to start or stop. The Cadillac has more of a tendency to stay stationary (or continue moving), and resist a change in motion than a bicycle.

Answer:

You're four sentences should include about how the roller coaster has the most potential energy at the top of the track, and the opposing energy, "kinetic" has the most kinetic energy when going down the hill.

Explanation:

Kinetic - In-Motion.

Potential - Gathering Energy to go into Motion.

Runner A is initially 6.0 km west of a flagpole and is running with a constant velocity of 9.0 km/h due east. Runner B is initia
sergejj [24]

Answer:

0.176m from the flagpole, westward.

Explanation:

Let the Eastward be the positive direction. So initially runner A is at position -6km, running with velocity of 9km/h while runner B is at position 5km running at a velocity of -8km/h. We can conduct the following equation for their distances over the same time t

s_A = -6 + 9t

s_B = 5 - 8t

When A an B meets, they are at the same position and at the same time. So

s_A = s_B

-6 +9t = 5 - 8t

17t = 5 + 6 = 11

t = 11/17 = 0.647 s

s_A = -6 + 9*0.647 = -0.176 m

So where they meet is 0.176m from the flagpole, westward.
