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.
The answer for the following problem is mentioned below.
The option for the question is "A" approximately.
- <u><em>Therefore the elastic potential energy of the string is 20 J.</em></u>
Explanation:
Given:
Spring constant (k) = 240 N/m
amount of the compression (x) = 0.40 m
To calculate:
Elastic potential energy (E)
We know;
<em>According to the formula;</em>
E = × k × x × x
<u>E = </u><u> × k ×(x)²</u>
where;
E represents the elastic potential energy
K represents the spring constant
x represents amount of the compression in the string
So therefore,
Substituting the values in the above formula;
E = × 240 × (0.40)²
E = × 240 × 0.16
E = × 38.4
E = 19.2 J or approximately 20 J
<u><em>Therefore the elastic potential energy of the string is 20 J.</em></u>
When particles in a substance slow down, we can infer that the object is getting colder. Why we can infer this:
1. Kinetic energy, is energy due to motion, therefore if there is no motion, there is no kinetic energy.
2. The colder an object get, the closer it becomes to having it's particles stopping completely, eventually at the absolute zero.
3. As kinetic energy increases, particles move faster. Kinetic energy usually increases when an object gets warmer. As kinetic energy decreases, particles move slower. Kinetic energy usually decreases when an object gets colder.
So, with this information, we now how and why the kinetic energy slows down.
