a) Work done = Net Kinetic Energy

= 1/2 x 50 kg x ((12m/s)^2 - (3m/s)^2)

= 0.5 x 50 Kg x (144 -9)(m/s)^2

= 3375 Kg (m/s)^2

b) Force = mxa

a = 120 N/50 Kg = 2.4 m/s^2

Using newtons third law of motion, we get-

V^2 - U^2 = 2 x a x S

S= (12^2-3^2)m^2/s^2/(2 x 2.4 m/s^2)

= 28.125 m

Match the words in the left-hand column to the appropriate blank in the sentences in the right-hand column.
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

1. Molecular cloud

2. Close binary

3. Brown dwarf

4. Protostellar wind

5. Thermal pressure

6. Protostellar disk

7. Jet

8. Degeneracy pressure

Explanation:

1. The Sun formed, probably along with other stars, within a large molecular cloud.

2. A Close binary consists of two stars that orbit each other every few days.

3. A Brown dwarf is a "star" so small in mass that its core never gets hot enough to sustain nuclear fusion reactions.

4. Most of the gas remaining from the process of star formation is swept into interstellar space by a protostellar wind.

5. As a protostar's internal temperature increases, its growing thermal pressure helps slow its contraction due to gravity.

6. Planets may form within the protostellar disk that surrounds a forming star.

7. Mass can be lost through a jet of material ejected along a protostar's axis of rotation.

8. A "star" with mass below 0.08 solar mass has its gravitational contraction halted by degeneracy pressure.

What is the difference between a circuit and a current?
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

a circuit is a complete loop that carries a current in the form of electrons from negative to positive

Explanation:

The difference between current and circuit is that a circuit is a complete loop that carries a current in the form of electrons from negative to positive .

In a circuit, there are difference elements or components such as the battery, wire, resistor. The goal of a circuit arrangement is to completely carry current from one end to another.

The current is the quantity of charge that flows within the circuit per unit of time.

So, the battery supplies the electromotive force to move the current round the circuit.

Sati [7]

The question is missing alternatives. Here is the complete question.

An infrared spectrometer on Dawn found something unexpected on Ceres's surface. Its presence suggested that Ceres might have formed farther from the Sun, or been impacted by objects from a more-distant part of the solar system. What was this finding?

1. The fact that Ceres is covered with small dark particles  that appear identical to the composition of Uranus's rings.

2. The presence of a thick cloud layer made of sulfuric acid, similar to what is observed at Venus.

3. The presence of clay-like minerals with ammonia bound up in them.

4. The infrared spectrum of Ceres's surface is essentially identical to that of most objects in the Kuiper Belt.

Answer: 3. The presence of clay-like minerals with ammonia bound up in them.

Explanation: The discovery of ammonia clay-like minerals in Ceres is surprising because it would be encoutered in planets that are far from the Sun, since ammonia requires colder temperatures, which is found beyond Jupiter's orbit, to condense. This finding can ascertain not only the origins of the dwarf planet as how the solar system was formed, were organized and evolved, because understanding where smaller planets are formed is important to determine their destiny.
