Explain the difference between rotation and revolution. Then use these terms to explain how earth

Physics

natima [27]4 years ago

Answer:

The difference between rotations and revolutions is , when an object turns around an internal axis (like the Earth turns around its axis) it is called a rotation. When an object circles an external axis (like the Earth circles the sun) it is called a revolution.

Explanation:

While rotation means spinning around its own axis, revolution means to move around another object. Taking the example of the Earth, which rotates 366 times to complete one revolution around the Sun.

An air track car with a mass of 0.75 kg and a velocity of 8.5 m/s to the right collides elastically with a 0.65kg car moving to
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
We can do this with the conservation of momentum. The fact it is elastic means no KE is lost so we don't have to worry about the loss due to sound energy etc.

Firstly, let's calculate the momentum of both objects using p=mv:

Object 1:
p = 0.75 x 8.5 = 6.375 kgm/s

Object 2 (we will make this one negative as it is travelling in the opposite direction):
p = 0.65 x -(7.2) = -4.68 kgm/s

Based on this we know that the momentum is going to be in the direction of object one, and will be 6.375-4.68=1.695 kgm/s

Substituting this into p=mv again:

1.695 = (0.75+0.65) x v
Note I assume here the objects stick together, it doesn't specify - it should!

1.695 = 1.4v
v=1.695/1.4 = 1.2 m/s to the right (to 2sf)

Earl is using his hands to hold a metal pan 10 centimeters above a hot burner. How can this scenario be changed to demonstrate c
Olenka [21]

Answer: touch the pan to the burner

Explanation:

There are three modes of heat transfer:

conduction, convection and radiation.  

For conduction, the heat transfers from a hot object to a cold object when the two are in contact.

For convection there is bulk motion of fluid occurs which transfers the heat.

For heat transfer by radiation, medium is not required.

Thus, to demonstrate conduction between pan and burner, the pan must touch the burner.

Rocks A and B are located at the same height on top of a hill. The mass of rock A is twice the mass of rock B. How does the pote
Ronch [10]

Potential energy is defined by formula

U = mgh

here

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height

Now here two different stones are located at same height

while mass of stone A is twice that of stone B

so here we can say potential energy of A is

U_a = (2m)gh

Similarly potential energy of B is

U_b = mgh

now if we take the ratio of two energy

\frac{U_a}{U_b} = 2

so we can say potential energy of stone A is two times the potential energy of B

What are the products of the double-replacement reaction between potassium bromide and silver nitrate? Name the resulting compou
timofeeve [1]

Explanation:

A double replacement reaction is a reaction in which two different compounds are mixed together and both their cations and anions get exchanged with each other respectively.

When potassium bromide reacts with silver nitrate then it results in the formation of potassium nitrate and silver bromide.

The chemical reaction equation is as follows.

        KBr + AgNO_{3} \rightarrow KNO_{3} + AgBr
