A compass taken to Earth's moon does not point in a specific direction on the moon.

Answer:

A compass taken to Earth's moon does not point in a specific direction on the moon. What is the most likely reason for the difference between how the compass works on Earth and on the moon? The moon does not have a liquid core. A bar magnet and a second object are hung from metal rods.

Select the correct answer. A ball is thrown straight down from the top of a building at a velocity of 16 ft/s. The building is 4
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

The ball takes 5s to reach the ground

Explanation:

in order to solve this problem we use the kinematics equation with gravity as acceleration:

h=v_0t+1/2*gt^2

we replace the values

0=1/2*32t^2+16t-480

We solve this quadratic equation:

t=5s

t=-6s   (this solution has not physical sense)

Sally finds herself stranded on a frozen pond so slippery that she can't stand up or walk on it. To save herself, she throws one
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

a) 2.5 m/s. (In the opposite direction to the direction in which she threw the boot).

b) The centre of mass is still at the starting point for both bodies.

c) It'll take Sally 12 s to reach the shore which is 30 m from her starting point.

Explanation:

Linear momentum is conserved.

(mass of boot) × (velocity of boot) + (mass of sally) × (velocity of Sally) = 0

5×30 + 60 × v = 0

v = (-150/60) = -2.5 m/s. (Minus inicates that motion is in the opposite direction to the direction in which she threw the boot).

b) At time t = 10 s,

Sally has travelled 25 m and the boot has travelled 300 m.

Taking the starting point for both bodies as the origin, and Sally's direction as the positive direction.

Centre of mass = [(60)(25) + (5)(-300)]/(60+5)

= 0 m.

The centre of mass is still at the starting point for both bodies.

c) The shore is 30 m away.

Speed = (Distance)/(time)

Time = (Distance)/(speed) = (30/2.5)

Time = 12 s

Hope this Helps!!!

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

Microwave: Radiation

Water: Conduction, convection & radiation.

Explanation:

  • When we heat a food using microwave then the water content of the food is only heated by the microwave.
  • Microwaves make the molecules of water vibrate frequently with a frequency closer to the frequency of microwaves and this increases the kinetic energy of the molecules which produces heat in the water molecules this heat then propagates to the whole food by conduction and convection, but the heat enters the food only via radiation.

Now when the food item is kept into warm water then the molecules closer to the food heat the food by conduction through direct energy transfer by lattice vibrations and when they become cooler than the mass of water all around then due to density difference they settle down and their place is occupied by warmer molecules around in the fluid leading to convection.

Radiation of energy from a mass occurs continuously irrespective of the medium present there. So the heat of water also enters the food by radiation of energy from the water molecules.

Hydrogen makes stars and stars spend most of their lifetime making helium.

The heavier elements are made when an old-age, high mass star explodes as a nova or supernova and then dies.

Having established that a sound wave corresponds to pressure fluctuations in the medium, what can you conclude about the directi
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

the pressure fluctuation is LONGITUDINAL

Explanation:

Sound waves are an oscillating movement of air particles, this can be analyzed in two different, but equivalent ways, as an air oscillation and with a pressure wave due to these oscillations.

The expression for the wave is

        ΔP = Δo sin (kx - wt)

Therefore, the pressure variation is in the same direction as the displacement variation, consequently the pressure fluctuation is LONGITUDINAL
