Explanation:

1. The Centauri star system consists of 3 stars and is about 4.37 light-years away from Earth. (A light-year is the distance that light travels in a year.)

2. We see the visible spectrum which consists of colors red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. (The visible spectrum is the range of light that our eyes can detect.)

3. Because air has a lower index of refraction than water, the light beams making up the image of the fish I see bends as it leaves the water and enters the air. (Index of refraction determines how light bends when moving from one medium into another.)

4. When I look at my reflection in the mirror, the light reflects off the mirror at an equal but opposite angle as it hits the mirror.

5. When looking into a concave mirror the center is further away from you than the outside edges.  (Concave mirrors cave in.)

6. Forklift drivers are careful to look in the convex mirrors placed at blind intersections in the warehouse.

7. is transparent and the light goes through without distortion.

8. The electromagnetic spectrum refers to any or all of the possible wavelengths of "light", both the visible light and invisible light.

9. The transmission of light through a medium means it goes through it.

10. The absorption of light by a medium means it is absorbed by it.

Given parameters:

Mass on earth  = 50kg

Unknown:

Mass on planet Xenon = ?

Weight on planet Xenon = ?

Mass is the amount of matter contained in a particular substance.

Weight is the force on a body and it is derived from the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity.

         Weight  = mass x acceleration due to gravity

Planet Xenon has half the gravitational force of Earth.

 This translated gives \frac{9.8}{2}   = 4.9m/s²

Now, mass is always the same every where if the amount of matter in a substance does not change.

In this problem, mass = 50kg on planet xenon.

Weight =  mass x acceleration due to gravity  = 50 x 4.9  = 245N

The weight on Xenon is 245N and the mass is 50kg

A car has the velocity of 2.35 after 4.67 it's velocity is 9.89 what is the average acceleration
kiruha [24]
Average acceleration  =  (change in speed) / (time for the change) .
  
Change in speed = (ending speed) - (beginning speed)

                       =  (9.89 miles/hour) - (2.35 yards/second)  = 26,839.2 ft/hr

Acceleration  =  (26,839.2 ft/hr) / (4.67 days)  =  2,873.58 inch/hour²

A closed container initially holds 50 monatomic Aparticles that have a combined energy of 480 units. After 100 monatomic B parti
Molodets [167]

Answer:

"8 units" is the appropriate answer.

Explanation:

According to the question,

Throughout equilibrium all particles are of equivalent intensity, and as such the integrated platform's total energy has been uniformly divided across all individuals.

Now,

The total energy will be:

= 480+720

= 1200 \ units

The total number of particles will be:

= 50+100

= 150

hence,

Energy of each A particle or each B particle will be:

= \frac{1200}{150}

= 8 \ units

Write about the similarities and differences between kinetic and potential energy. Include specific, real world example in your
lord [1]

Answer:

Energy is transformed from potential to kinetic and vice versa

Explanation:

The energy is transformed from mechanical to kinetic energy when the object changes its position with respect to a reference point, where it loses height but increases its speed. When the object is at maximum height with respect to a reference point, it will have its maximum potential energy value. When the object passes through the reference point it will have potential energy equal to zero, but this energy will become kinetic energy.

The most characteristic and real example is that of a pendulum at one end, as can be seen in the attached image.

When the pendulum is located at the top end, as shown in Figure 1, at that point the maximum potential energy will be held. Then the pendulum is released and when it passes through the reference point and its height is zero, with respect to that point, all potential energy will have become kinetic energy in the same way at this point the maximum speed of the pendulum will be set.
