Answer:

The seasons are caused by the tilt of Earth's axis in relation to the sun. ... During summer, Antarctica is on the side of Earth tilted toward the sun and is in constant sunlight. In the winter, Antarctica is on the side of Earth tilted away from the sun, causing the continent to be dark.

<h3><u><em>Answer:</em></u></h3><h3><u><em>Ok, here we go...</em></u></h3><h3><u><em>Explanation:</em></u></h3><h3><u><em>Astronauts perform many tasks as they orbit Earth. The space station is designed to be a permanent orbiting research facility. Its major purpose is to perform world-class science and research that only a microgravity environment can provide. The station crew spends their day working on science experiments that require their input, as well as monitoring those that are controlled from the ground. They also take part in medical experiments to determine how well their bodies are adjusting to living in microgravity for long periods of time.</em></u></h3><h3><u><em></em></u></h3><h3><u><em>Working on the space station also means ensuring the maintenance and health of the orbiting platform. Crew members are constantly checking support systems and cleaning filters, updating computer equipment: doing many of the things homeowners must do to ensure their largest investment stays in good shape. Similarly, the Mission Control Center constantly monitors the space station and sends messages each day through voice or email with new instructions or plans to assist the crew members in their daily routines.</em></u></h3><h3><u><em></em></u></h3>

5. If population size temporarily exceeds the environmental _______, deaths will increase until the population size returns to p
rusak2 [61]

Answer: A. carrying capacity

A carrying capacity of the ecosystem or the environment refers to the maximum number of individuals in a population of species that an ecosystem can support in terms of available resources like food, habitat, water and other necessities. If the size of the population exceeds the environmental carrying capacity, this will result in death as all individuals will not be able to derive resources and the population size will return to previous levels.

Why was Thompson's Plum pudding model a significant departure from previous models?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Thomson's cathode-ray tube experiments led him to develop the plum-pudding model, which stated that each atom had positively charged particles spread throughout its negatively charged matter. Reword the statement so it is true. ... More alpha particles were deflected than he expected.

a trcuk weighs four times as much as a stationary car. if teh truck coasts into the car at 12 km/s and they stick toegther, what
Andrews [41]

Answer:

  v=9.6 km/s

Explanation:

Given that

The mass of the car =  m

The mass of the truck = 4 m

The velocity of the truck ,u= 12 km/s

The final velocity when they stick = v

If there is no any external force on the system  then the total linear momentum of the system will be conserve.

Pi = Pf

m x 0 + 4 m x 12 = (m + 4 m) x v

0 + 48 m = 5 m v

5  v  = 48

v=\dfrac{48}{5}\ km/s

v=9.6 km/s

Therefore the final velocity will be 9.6 km/s.

A stationary siren emits sound of frequency 1000 Hz and wavelength 0.343 m. An observer who is moving toward the siren will meas
Ainat [17]

Answer:

f>1000Hz and wavelength=0.343 m

Explanation:

We are given that

Frequency of stationary siren,f=1000 Hz

Wavelength of stationary sound,\lambda=0.343 m

When a observer is moving towards the siren then the frequency increases.

Therefore,an observer who is moving towards the siren measure a frequency >1000 Hz.

The wavelength depends upon the speed of source.

But we are given that siren is stationary.

Therefore, source is not moving and then the wavelength remains same.

f>1000Hz and wavelength=0.343 m
