Answer:

C) 5000 J

Explanation:

when diver is at some height , he is having some energy in the form of potential energy. when he dives, his potential energy is converted into kinetic energy . so kinetic energy and potential energy are equal.

Kinetic energy of diver = potential energy of diver

= mgh

= 500 x 10

= 5000 J .

Which can be observed both on Earth and in an accelerating ship in space that is free from the effect of any gravitational field
Reil [10]

Answer:

  • apples falling from trees
  • people's feet touching the ground
  • sky divers moving toward the ground  
  • balls bending downward after being thrown​

Explanation:

When a space ship is accelerating in space, there is a force known as Inertia that kicks in. Inertia will mirror the effects of gravity on the ship even if there is no gravitational field effect such that anything that would happen where there is gravity, would continue to happen.

This means that apples will fall from trees, people's feet will touch the ground, sky divers will be pulled downwards and balls will bend downwards when thrown as well. These are the same effects expected on earth where gravity pulls things towards the earth's core.

How much would it cost to cover the entire land area of the U.S. in dollar bills?
agasfer [191]

Answer:

  $900 trillion

Explanation:

If Alaska is 20% of the contiguous US, then the approximate area of interest is ...

  1200 miles × 3000 miles = 3.6×10^6 square miles.

The size of a dollar bill is about ...

  (6.5 cm)·(15.5 cm) = 100.75 cm^2

One mile is 160,934.4 cm, so 1 square mile is about ...

  1 mi^2 = (160,934.4 cm)^2 ≈ 2.59·10^10 cm^2

The number of dollars of interest is then ...

  (3.6 · 10^6 mi^2)(2.59 · 10^10 cm^2)/(100.75 cm^2) ≈ 9.3·10^14

  ≈ 930 × 10^12 . . . dollars

It would cost about 900 trillion dollars to cover the land area of the US in $1 bills.

Interstellar matter is quite evenly distributed throughout the milky way galaxy. true or false
melomori [17]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

In addition to stars, our galaxy contains abundant diffuse matter that is distributed throughout its volume and constitutes what we call the interstellar medium. This medium plays a fundamental role in the life cycle of the stars, since it is where the matter from which they are born resides, and it is the place to which it returns when the stars expel their outer layers at death.

The interstellar medium is a complex environment. <u>Its matter is </u><u>not </u><u>distributed uniformly</u>, but consists of different phases with temperatures ranging from a few degrees Kelvin (near absolute zero) in the areas of star formation to the millions of degrees Kelvin observed in supernova remnants. The densities of interstellar matter also vary orders of magnitude according to the phase, but they are always so low that they rival those that can be achieved in the best vacuum chambers of terrestrial laboratories. Depending on the density and temperature conditions, interstellar matter is in a molecular, atomic, or ionized state, although the state is not permanent, since matter circulates between the different phases in a continuous cycle of evolution on a galactic scale.

Due to the very different characteristics of its multiple phases, the interstellar medium has to be studied using various observational techniques and different types of telescopes. The coldest components of the interstellar medium do not emit visible light, and require the observation of telescopes sensitive to the weak emission of radio waves that this material produces. Using different radio telescopes, such as the 40-meter diameter of the Yebes Observatory, which the Institute of Radio Astronomy Millimeter, to which the IGN belongs, has in Grenoble and Granada, or the recently opened Atacama Large Millimeter / submillimeter Array in the Atacama desert in Chile, astronomers from the National Astronomical Observatory contribute to characterize the physical and chemical properties of the molecular clouds where stars are born and of the circumestellar shells produced by the stars in the last stages of their lives . The study of these regions is helping to complete our knowledge of the most unknown phases of the complex life cycle of stars.
