Astronomy can best be described as a/an

1 answer:

3 0

Astronomy is a natural science that studies celestial objects and phenomena. More generally, all astronomical phenomena that originate outside Earth's atmosphere are within the purview of astronomy. Therefore, the correct answer to the question "Astronomy can best be described as a/an" is "study of objects beyond the Earth's atmosphere."

Newton’s empirical law of cooling/warming of an object is given by ( ), T Tm k dt dT = − where k is a constant of proportionalit

pychu [463]

Answer:

The time for the cake to cool off to room temperature is

approximately 30 minutes.

Let $T_{0}$ = $70^{0}$ F be the temperature and T that of the body

Explanation:

Our Tm = 70, the initial-value problem is

$\frac{DT}{dt}$ = k(T − 70), T(0) = 300

Solving the equation, we get

$\frac{DT}{t-70}$ = kdt

In [T-70]= kt + $C_{1}$

T = 70 + $C_{2}$ $e^{kt}$

Finding he value for $C_{2}$ using the initial value of T (0)= 300, therefore we get:

300=70+ $C_{2}$

$C_{2}$ = 230 therefore

T= 70+ 230 $e^{kt}$

Finding the value for k using T (3) = 200, therefore we get

T (3) = 200

$e^{3k}$ = $\frac{13}{23}$

K = $\frac{1}{3}$ in $\frac{13}{23}$

= -0.19018

Therefore

T(t) = 70+230 $e^{-0.19018}$

Which term describes a gap in the geologic record that occurs when sedimentary rocks cover an eroded surface?

Lemur [1.5K]

The term that describes a gap in the geologic record that occurs when sedimentary rocks cover an eroded surface is called unconformity.

Glad to help ya!! ;)

Which of the following is an example of kinetic mechanical energy?

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

Explanation:

Kinetic energy must be moving. Potential energy has the ability to move but is not doing so at the moment.

A is likely the answer. But there's lots involved in that kind of motion.

B If the ball is elevated, it implies it is not moving yet. It has potential energy.

C Again, the spring is compressed. It will push something when it moves, but it is not moving yet.

D The load gun's bullet is not moving. It's still potential energy.

E. The mouse trap is set, but it is not moving. When the mouse eats the bait then it's potential energy will transform into kinetic energy.

A 1.20 kg water balloon will break if it experiences more than 530 N of force. Your 'friend' whips the water balloon toward you

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

t = 0.029s

Explanation:

In order to calculate the interaction time at the moment of catching the ball, you take into account that the force exerted on an object is also given by the change, on time, of its linear momentum:

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}=m\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$ (1)

m: mass of the water balloon = 1.20kg

Δv: change in the speed of the balloon = v2 - v1

v2: final speed = 0m/s (the balloon stops in my hands)

v1: initial speed = 13.0m/s

Δt: interaction time = ?

The water balloon brakes if the force is more than 530N. You solve the equation (1) for Δt and replace the values of the other parameters:

$|F|=|530N|= |m\frac{v_2-v_1}{\Delta t}|\\\\|530N|=| (1.20kg)\frac{0m/s-13.0m/s}{\Delta t}|\\\\\Delta t=0.029s$

The interaction time to avoid that the water balloon breaks is 0.029s

Explain why a moving object cannot come to a stop instantaneously (in zero seconds). Hint: Think about the acceleration that wou

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

To stop instantly, you would need infinite deceleration. This in turn, requires infinite force, as demonstrable with this equation:F=maSo when you hit a wall, you do not instantly stop (e.g. the trunk of the car will still move because the car is getting crushed). In a case of a change in momentum, mv⃗ mv→, we can use the following equation to calculate force:F=p/hHowever, because the force is nowhere close to infinity, time will never tend to zero either, which means that you cannot come to an instantaneous stop.
