An Earth revolution is a trip around the sun in a closed path (relative to the sun).

The path is very nearly an ellipse with the sun at one focus, and a little less nearly a circle with the sun at the center.

One complete revolution takes roughly 365.24 days, and at that point, the Earth immediately begins another one.

We have a special word that we use to refer to that special period of time. In English, it's called a "year".

A scientist heats an unknown substance in a closed system. The graph shows the change in temperature over time.

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

When a substance is changing state, the heat supplied does not result in a rise in temperature. This is why, the heat supplied during change of state is referred to as 'latent heat'.

Latent heat is a heat that causes a change of state without a corresponding rise in temperature. During this time, the intermolecular bonds in the substance are broken.

Change of state will occur as regions in which there is no change in temperature with time such as point D on the graph.

A cart, which has a mass of m - 2.50 kg, is sitting at the top of an inclined plane which is 3.30 meters long and which meets th

SashulF [63]

Answer:

Part(i) the time taken for this cart to reach the bottom of the inclined plane is 1.457 s

Part(ii) the velocity of the cart when it reaches the bottom of the inclined plane is 4.531 m/s

Part(iii) the kinetic energy of the cart when it reaches the bottom of the inclined plane is 25.663 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the cart = 2.5 kg

angle of inclination, β = 18.5⁰

length of inclined plane = 3.3m

Part(i) the time taken for this cart to reach the bottom of the inclined plane

s = ut + ¹/₂×at²

initial vertical velocity, u = 0

s = 3.3 m

s = ¹/₂×at²

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2s}{a} }$

acceleration, of the cart, a = gsinβ

a = 9.8sin(18.5) = 3.11 m/s²

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2X3.3}{3.11 }}= 1.457 s$

Part(ii) the velocity of the cart when it reaches the bottom of the inclined plane

V = a×t

V = 3.11 × 1.457 = 4.531 m/s

Part(iii) the kinetic energy of the cart when it reaches the bottom of the inclined plane

KE = ¹/₂MV²

= ¹/₂ × 2.5× (4.531)²

= 25.663 J
