Answer:

3)solid, liquid,  gas

4)false

5)Our weight on moon is less than it would be on Earth due to a difference of the strength of gravity on the moon. The moon's gravitation force is determined by the mass and the size of the moon. ... This means that if you went to the moon you would weigh less, even though your mass stays the same

6)Physical changes are changes that do not alter the identity of a substance. Chemical changes are changes that occur when one substance is turned into another substance. Chemical changes are frequently harder to reverse than physical changes.

7)Try to be as accurate as possible with your measurements, and then subtract the former from the latter to find the mass of the object. This process is commonly referred to as "taring."

8) i think ductility but im not sure

9)If only the form of a substance changes, you have observed a physical change. A common physical change occurs when matter changes from one phase to another. When an ice cube melts for example, it becomes liquid water.

10)Oil floats on the surface because water is heavier than oil. Scientists say that water is more dense than oil. This is why the oil always stays in the top container.

Find equation tangent to a circle at given point
vlabodo [156]

the equation of the tangent line must be passed on a point A (a,b) and perpendicular to the radius of the circle. <span>
I will take an example for a clear explanation:
let x² + y² = 4 is the equation of the circle, its center is C(0,0). And we assume that the tangent line passes to the point A(2.3).

</span>since the tangent passes to the A(2,3), the line must be perpendicular to the radius of the circle. 

<span>Let's find the equation of the line parallel to the radius.</span>

<span>The line passes to the A(2,3) and C (0,0). y= ax+b is the standard form of the equation. AC(-2, -3) is a vector parallel to CM(x, y).</span>

det(AC, CM)= -2y +3x =0, is the equation of the line // to the radius.

let's find the equation of the line perpendicular to this previous line.

let M a point which lies on the line. so MA.AC=0 (scalar product), 

it is (2-x, 3-y) . (-2, -3)= -4+4x + -9+3y=4x +3y -13=0 is the equation of tangent

An office heater puts out 2050 btus of energy in the form of heat per hour. given that 1 btus =1.055 kj, how many megajoules of
ivolga24 [154]
<span>Assuming continuous operation (24/7), we can say that

Energy produced : Energy per hour * 24 (number of hours in a day) - 365 (number of days in a year.

Energy per hour: 2050 * 1.055 = 2162.75 kg.

So, we proceed to calculate the results

E: 2162.75 * 24 * 365 = 18,945,690 kj per year.

Now, we transform kj to megajoule, remembering that kilo is 10*3 and mega is 1'*6, so we divide the result by 1,000 in order to get the results in megajoules, and the answer would be:

18,945.69 megajoules can be produced per year.</span>
