Two hypothetical discoveries in Part A deal with moons that, like Earth's moon, are relatively large compared to their planets.

Which of the following best explains why finding 1 planet with such a moon is consistent with the nebular theory, while finding 6 planets with such moons is not consistent?

Answer:

Unusually large moons form in giant impacts, which are relatively rare events

Explanation:

Solution:

- Finding large moons comparable in size to their planets result from impacts of two astro-bodies. The probability of such an event occurring is very rare.

- Even at the best luck, one moon can be made from the result of giant impact. While the probability of 6 planets having moons of comparable sizes is close to impossible. The transition from an undifferentiated cloud to a star system complete with planets and moons takes about 100 million years.

The type of function that describes the amplitude of damped oscillatory motion is _______. The type of function that describes t
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

exponential

Explanation:

type of function that describes the amplitude of damped oscillatory motion is exponential because as we know that here function is

y = A × e^{\frac{-bt}{2m}}  × cos(ωt + ∅ )    ..................................... ( 1 )          

here function A × e^{\frac{-bt}{2m}}   is amplitude

as per equation ( 1 )it is exponential

so that we can say that amplitude of damped oscillatory motion is exponential

A charge of 8.4*10^-4 moves at an angle of 35 degrees to a magnetic field that has a field strentgh of 6.7
12345 [234]

The force on a charged particle in a magnetic field is given by

the speed of the charged particle = 10842 m/s.

Explanation:

F= q V B sinθ

F=force=3.5 x 10⁻²N

q= charge= 8.4 x 10⁻⁴ C

B= magnetic field= 6.7 x 10⁻³ T

θ=35⁰

Thus the velocity is given by V=\frac{F}{q B sin35}

V=(3.5 x 10⁻²)/[(8.4 x 10⁻⁴)(6.7 x 10⁻³)(sin35)]

V=10842 m/s

A pendulum is used in a large clock. The pendulum has a mass of 2 kg. If the pendulum is moving at a speed of 2.9 m/s when it re
Rufina [12.5K]
This is a classic example of conservation of energy. Assuming that there are no losses due to friction with air we'll proceed by saying that the total energy mus be conserved.
E_m=E_k+E_p
Now having information on the speed at the lowest point we can say that the energy of the system at this point is purely kinetic:
E_m=Ek=\frac{1}{2}mv^2
Where m is the mass of the pendulum. Because of conservation of energy, the total energy at maximum height won't change, but at this point the energy will be purely potential energy instead.
E_m=E_p
This is the part where we exploit the Energy's conservation, I'm really insisting on this fact right here but it's very very important, The totam energy Em was
E_M=\frac{1}{2}mv^2
It hasn't changed! So inserting this into the equation relating the total energy at the highest point we'll have:
E_p=mgh=E_m=\frac{1}{2}mv^2
Solving for h gives us:
h=\frac{v^2}{2g}.
It doesn't depend on mass!

Kai swims for the school swim team. He specializes in a backstroke event where he has to swim the 50 m length of the pool three
Westkost [7]

Answer:

Displacement is 50 m

Explanation:

Distance is simply the measurement of the sum of all paths travelled.

Thus, since he swims the 50m length pool 3 times, then the total distance = 50 × 3 = 150 m

Whereas, displacement is the measurement of length of the shortest path from initial point to final point.

In this case initial point to final point is 50m. Thus, the displacement is 50 m

If two objects of the same size move through the air at different speeds, which encounters the greater air resistance?a. The fas
blagie [28]

Answer:

Option A is correct.

(The faster object encounters more resistance)

Explanation:

Option A is correct. (The faster object encounters more resistance)

Air resistance depends on various factors:

  • Speed of the object
  • Cross-sectional area of the object
  • Shape of the object

Formula:

F=\frac{1}{2}C_d\rho A v^{2}

As the speed of the object increases the amount of Air resistance/drag increases on the object, as the above formula shows direct relation between Air resistance/drag and velocity i.e F ∝ v^2.
