Answer:

option B

Explanation:

The correct answer is option B

By adding insulation to ceiling we can save about 2,000 kilowatt-hours/year.

Insulation is the process of maintains the temperature of the room. Insulation of the ceiling helps in extreme winter and summer.

Insulation is also used to reduce the noise pollution inside the house and Insulation can be used to save energy.

As the usage of the heater in winter and ACs in summer can be reduced.

The work done to compress a spring with a force constant of 290.0 N/m a total of 12.3 mm is: a) 3.57 J b) 1.78 J c) 0.0219 J d)

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Work done, W = 0.0219 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Force constant of the spring, k = 290 N/m

Compression in the spring, x = 12.3 mm = 0.0123 m

We need to find the work done to compress a spring. The work done in this way is given by :

$W=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2$

$W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 290\times (0.0123)^2$

W = 0.0219 J

So, the work done by the spring is 0.0219 joules. Hence, this is the required solution.

Jupiter's moon Io has active volcanoes (in fact, it is the most volcanically active body in the solar system) that eject materia

kramer

Answer:

The height reached by the material on Earth is 91 km.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass $M_{Io}=8.93\times10^{22}\ kg$

Radius = 1821 km

Height $h_{Io}=500\ km$

Suppose we need to find that how high would this material go on earth if it were ejected with the same speed as on Io?

We need to calculate the acceleration due to gravity on Io

Using formula of gravity

$g =\dfrac{GM_{Io}}{(R_{Io})^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$g=\dfrac{6.67\times10^{-11}\times8.93\times10^{22}}{(1821\times10^{3})^2}$

$g=1.79\ m/s^2$

Let v be the speed at which the material is ejected.

We need to calculate the height

Using the formula of height

$H=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}$

Using ratio of height of earth and height of Io

$\dfrac{H_{e}}{H_{Io}}=\dfrac{\dfrac{v^2}{2g_{e}}}{\dfrac{v^2}{2g_{Io}}}$

$\dfrac{H_{e}}{H_{Io}}=\dfrac{g_{Io}}{g_{e}}$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{H_{e}}{H_{Io}}=\dfrac{1.79}{9.8}$

$\dfrac{H_{e}}{H_{Io}}=0.182$

$H_{e}=0.182\times H_{Io}$

$H_{e}=0.182\times500$

$H_{e}=91\ km$

Hence, The height reached by the material on Earth is 91 km.

A bullet with momentum of 2.8 kg·m/s [E] is traveling at a speed of 187 m/s. The mass of the bullet is: a) 67 g b) 15 g c) 0.067

Vesna [10]

Answer:

The mass of the bullet is 15 g.

(b) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Momentum = 2.8 kg m/s

Speed = 187 m/s

We need to calculate the mass of the bullet

Using formula of momentum

$P = mv$

$m = \dfrac{P}{v}$

Where, P = momentum

v = speed

Put the value into the formula

$m = \dfrac{2.8}{187}$

$m = 0.015\ kg$

$m = 15\ g$

Hence, The mass of the bullet is 15 g.

9. Which of the following statements is true about scientific theories?

AleksAgata [21]

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. Scientific theories summarize patterns found in nature. Although, the statement scientific theories are never proven is somewhat true. They are either disproved or they are never disproved. Hope this answers the question.
