Answer:

Because it's an insulator derived from oil and natural gas

Explanation:

Styrofoam is a foamed plastic material. The material is manufactured from polystyrene compounds. This is a thermoplastic polymer obtained from the polymerization of styrene monomer.

Styrene is an aromatic hydrocarbon of formula C8H8, which is formed by a benzene ring with an ethylene substitute.

How would playing a game of soccer, baseball, or basketball be different if inertia didn't exist?
BigorU [14]
Inertia is what keeps everything moving, so if it didn't exist, the balls wouldn't keep going when they are kicked, or thrown.

If you have 100 W expended over 20 s how much energy did it take?
netineya [11]

Power = (work or energy) / (time)

100 W  =  (energy) / (20 sec)

Energy = 2,000 watt-sec

<em>Energy = 2,000 J</em>

A man goes for a walk, starting from the origin of an xyz coordinate system, with the xy plane horizontal and the x axis eastwar
tekilochka [14]
<h2>a) Displacement of penny = 1300 i + 2400 j - 640 k</h2><h2>b) Magnitude of his displacement = 2729.47 m</h2>

Explanation:

a) He walks 1300 m east, 2400 m north, and then drops the penny from a cliff 640 m high.

1300 m east = 1300 i

2400 m north = 2400 j

Drops the penny from a cliff 640 m high = -640 k

Displacement of penny = 1300 i + 2400 j - 640 k

b) Displacement of man for return trip = -1300 i - 2400 j

    \texttt{Magnitude = }\sqrt{(-1300)^2+(-2400)^2}=2729.47m

    Magnitude of his displacement = 2729.47 m

Every few hundred years most of the planets line up on the same side of the Sun.(Figure 1)Calculate the total force on the Earth
mylen [45]

Answer: 3.7 \times 10^{-4} N

Explanation:

The gravitational pull between two object is given by:

F = G\frac{Mm}{r^2}

Where M and m are the masses of the object, r is the distance between the masses and G = 6.67× 10⁻¹¹ m³kg⁻¹ s⁻² is the gravitational constant.

We have to calculate the net force on Earth due to Venus, Jupiter and Saturn when they are in one line. It means when they are the closest distance.

F_{net] = G\frac{M_eM_v}{r_v^2}+G\frac{M_eM_j}{r_j^2}+G\frac{M_eM_s}{r_s^2}

Mass of Earth, Me = 5.98 × 10²⁴ kg

Mass of Venus, Mv = 0.815 Me

Mass of Jupiter, Mj = 318 Me

Mass of Saturn, Ms = 95.1 Me

closest distance between Earth and Venus, rv = 38 × 10⁶ km = 0.25 AU

closest distance between Jupiter and Earth, rj = 588 × 10⁶ km = 3.93 AU

closest distance between Earth and Saturn, rs = 1.2 × 10⁹ km = 8.0 AU

where 1 AU = 1.5 × 10¹¹ m

Inserting the values:

F_{net} = G\frac{M_e\times 0.815 M_e}{(0.25AU)^2}+G\frac{M_e\times 318 M_e}{(3.93AU)^2}+G\frac{M_e\times 95.1 M_e}{(8.0AU)^2}\\ \Rightarrow F_{net} = \frac{(GM_e^2)}{(1AU)^2}(\frac{0.815}{0.25^2}+\frac{318}{3.93^2}+\frac{95.1}{8.0^2})=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11} \times (5.98\times 10^{24})^2}{(1.5\times 10^{11})^2}(35.1) = 3.7 \times 10^{-4} N
