Why do we have 365 days in a year?

1 answer:

4 0

We have 365 days in a year because that is the approximate time of the world revolving around the sun once. It takes 365.25 days to go around once, but the calendar is 365, so we add leap years to add a couple more days.

Which form of the law of conservation of energy describes the motion of the block as it slides on the floor from the bottom of t

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let assume begins movement at zero point, that is, height is equal to zero. The block has an initial linear kinetic energy and no gravitational potential energy and end with no linear kinetic energy, some gravitational potential energy and work losses due to slide friction. In mathematical terms, this system can be model as follows:

$K_{1} = U_{2} + W_{loss, 1 \longrightarrow 2}$

Where $K, U, W$ are linear kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy and work, respectively.

A parallel plate capacitor stores charge, and thus, stores energy in the form of electric potential energy. The total energy sto

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

The charges on the plates,

Explanation:

A capacitor is an electronic device that can be used for storing of charges. A parallel plate capacitor consists of two plates of equal area separated by a dielectric constant. The energy stored in the capacitor is in the form of potential energy which comes into play during the discharging process of the capacitor.

The energy stored depends majorly on the voltage, area of the plates, distance between the plates and the nature of the dielectric constant of the material between the plates. But it does not depend on the charges on the plates.

Is this statement true or false? Electric currents flow easily through materials that are conductors and through materials that

Alex777 [14]

False because currents do not flow easily through insulators. If it only said conductors, then it would be true.

At what height is an object that weighs 490 newtons if its gravitational potential energy is 4900 J?

Sergio [31]

Answer:

The height at which the object is moved is 10 meters.

Explanation:

Given that,

Force acting on the object, W = F = 490 N

The gravitational potential energy, P = 4900 J

We need to find the height at which the object is moved. We know that the gravitational potential energy is possessed due to its position. It is given by :

$P=mgh\\\\h=\dfrac{P}{mg}\\\\h=\dfrac{4900\ J}{490\ N}\\\\h=10\ m$

So, the height at which the object is moved is 10 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

Magnesium is a shiny, flexible metal that can be burned in the presence of air.

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

A new substance was formed

Explanation:

According to this question, a shiny and flexible metal called Magnesium (Mg) is burnt in air to produce a white powder that has no shiny or flexible properties, however, has more weight than the magnesium metal itself.

This is possible because a CHEMICAL CHANGE has occured, hence, a new substance has been formed. The formation of a new substance during the burning process (chemical reaction), induced the increase in mass.
