Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

To measure the distance between two objects we use the units of length.

To measure small distances we use, mm or cm or m. But if we measure large distances between two objects we use large units such that kilometer or miles.

To measure the very large distances between two objects we use large units such as Astronomical unit or Parsec.

The Astronomical unit is defied as the distance between earth and Sun.

Thus, the distance between earth and the sun is defined as 1 Astronomical unit.

1 Astronomical unit = 1 A.U. = 1.5 x 10^8 km = 1.5 x 10^11 m

A marble is dropped from rest and falls for 2.3 seconds. Find its final velocity.
juin [17]

Answer:

23 m/s downward

__________________________________________________________

<em>Taking the downward direction as positive</em>

<u>We are given:</u>

Initial velocity of the marble (u) = 0 m/s

Time interval (t) = 2.3 seconds

Final velocity (v) = x m/s

<u>Solving for the Final velocity:</u>

<u>Acceleration of the Marble:</u>

We know that gravity will make the marble accelerate at a constant acceleration of 10 m/s

<u>Final velocity:</u>

v = u + at                                              [First equation of motion]

x = 0 + (10)(2.3)                                    [replacing the given values]

x = 23 m/s

Hence, after 2.3 seconds, the marble will move at a velocity of 23 m/s in the downward direction

Heat is transferred from the sun to the earth via electromagnetic waves (see Chapter 24). Because of this transfer, the entropy
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

1.  Decreases,

2.   Increases,

3.   Increases

Explanation:

The heat which is a product of sun's energy, is transferred from the sun to the earth through radiation, conduction or convention. This heat passes through the earth atmosphere, then warms it , before becoming heat energy.

Therefore, Heat is transferred from the sun to the earth via electromagnetic waves . Because of this transfer, the entropy of the sun DECREASES, the entropy of the earth INCREASES and the entropy of the sun-earth system INCREASES.

Which gas has molecules with the greatest average molecular speed at 25°c?
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer: the options to the questions are

a. 1.0 moles of N2

b.0.5 moles of New

c.0.2 moles of CO2

d.2 moles of He

Answer D

Explanation:

The average molecular speed v of gas is given by =√(8RT,/πM)

From the equation it can be seen that substance with lowest molar mass has the highest velocity has He is the answer

If a cars velocity is slowing down is it considered a positive or negative acceleration?
Natali [406]

Answer:

Negative

Explanation:

Observe that the object below moves in the positive direction with a changing velocity. An object which moves in the positive direction has a positive velocity. If the object is slowing down then its acceleration vector is directed in the opposite direction as its motion (in this case, a negative acceleration).

Gold, which has a mass of 19.32 g for each cubic centimeter of volume, is the most ductile metal and can be pressed into a thin
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

area = 5733.33  cm²

length = 5.47 ×10^{7} cm

Explanation:

Given data

density = 19.32 g/cm³

mass = 33.16 g

thickness = 3.000 µm = 3 ×10^{-4} cm

radius r = 1.000 µm = 1 ×10^{-4} cm

to find out

area of the leaf and  length of the fiber

solution

we know volume formula that is

volume = mass / density

volume = 33.16 /  19.32

volume = 1.72 cm³

we know that volume = thickness × area

so area

area = volume / thickness

area = 1.72 / 3 ×10^{-4}

area = 5733.33  cm²

and

we know volume = πr²L

so L = volume /  πr²

length = 1.72 / π(1×10^{-4})²

length = 5.47 ×10^{7} cm
