Using the formula:
a = (Vf - Vi) / t
Our initial velocity is 0 m/s, and our final velocity is 8.15 m/s, with a time period of 5 seconds:
a = (8.15 - 0.0) / 5
a = 1.63 m/s^2
If you know the acceleration due to gravity on the Moon, you can confirm this answer. The recorded gravitational acceleration on the Moon is 1.62 m/s^2.
The Law of Conservation of Energy states that, in an isolated system, energy remains constant and can not be created or destroyed, only transferred from one form to another. This law was created by Julius Robert Mayer.
Since momentum is a vector quantity, take any direction as positive and other as negative. Answer won't change.
The answer for this question is Control Variable because it doesn’t change throughout the experiment.
Answer:
A. nuclear fusion reactions
C. it's still hot from the big bang
Explanation:
The inside of the earth is hot due to some reasons. This heat provides the internal energy the drives processes within the earth interior. Here are some of the ways in which the heat has accumulated:
- Nuclear reactions within the earth interior by fusion and other radioactive processes releases a large amount of heat.
- Some heat accreted during the early formation of the earth and has not been lost till this day.
- Heating due to friction
These are some of the sources of the earth's internal heat.
