It would drift away from the Earth and enter its own orbit around the sun. It would become the 9th planet, in an orbit very close to Earth's orbit. (Our moon is larger than Pluto, and almost as large as Mercury.)

A 5000kg car traveling at 40m/s crashes into a wall and comes to a complete stop in 10s. What was the force on the wall? solve s
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

20,000 N

Explanation:

First find the acceleration:

a = Δv / Δt

a = (0 − 40 m/s) / 10 s

a = -4 m/s²

Next use Newton's second law to find the force on the car:

F = ma

F = (5000 kg) (-4 m/s²)

F = -20,000 N

According to Newton's third law, the force on the wall is equal and opposite the force on the car.

F = 20,000 N

This position-time graph describes an object's motion. Use it to determine the
kirza4 [7]

We're happy that you're asking for the "displacement", because displacement is simply the straight-line distance between the start-point and end-point, and we don't care about any of the motions or gyrations along the way.

From the graph:

-- The location of the object at time-zero, when time begins, is  10 meters.

-- The location of the object after 6.0 seconds is  4 meters.

-- The distance between the start-point and end-point is

(final location) - (initial location)

-- So Displacement = (4 meters) - (10 meters)

<em>Displacement = -6 meters</em>

An object in free fall travels a distance s that is directly proportional to the square of the time t. If an object falls 1088 f
ikadub [295]

Answer:

1,700feet

Explanation:

If an object in free fall travels a distance s that is directly proportional to the square of the time t, this can be represented mathematically as;

S = kt²where;

k is the proportionality constant

K = s/t²

s1/t1²= s2/t2²= Sn/tn²= k for values of the distance and time. Using the formula

s1/t1² = s2/t2² where;

s1 is the falling distance in time t1 s2 is the falling distance in time t2

Given s1 = 1088feet, t1 = 8secs, s2 = ? t2 = 10secs

Substituting this value in the formula to get s2, we have;

1088/8²= s2/10²

64s2= 108800

s2 = 108800/64

s2 = 1,700feet

This means the object will fall a distance of 1,700feet in 10seconds

He amount of current flowing in a circuit can be measured by
Papessa [141]

First question:
The magnitude of current flowing in a circuit is described in
units of Amperes.  The device used to measure it is an Ampmeter,
or Ammeter.

Second question:
This question is so absurd that it should not be dignified with an
answer.  Although 'E' is often used as the symbol for Electromotive
force, potential difference, and voltage, there's certainly no rule. 
Anyone is free to use  'M',  'Q',  'Θ', or  'Щ' to denote voltage when
they write electrical formulas, just as long as they make sure to
explain the meaning of whatever symbols they use.

Explain the melting of a solid in terms of molecules and energy​
Pie
When you melt a solid the heat creates energy, when you heat up molecules they will move quicker and start to somewhat break apart into a liquid structure.
