Answer:

2kg

Explanation:

Whereas weight of an object depends on acceleration due to gravity, the mass remains constant because the number of atoms in an element remains constant. Therefore, despite the variation of acceleration due to gravity on moon and earth, the mass will remain 2 kg but tge weight will change.

A person sitting still in a moving airplane is considered to be... (SP1a) a. Motionless in relation to everything in the plane.

vichka [17]

Answer:

C. Both a and b

Explanation:

Firstly, persons and objects in a moving plane as described in this question, are moving at the same speed as the plane even if there is no individual movement of these objects.

However, this question describes a person sitting still in a moving plane. This means that;

- The person is motionless in relation to everything in the plane i.e the person is not moving even if other things in the plane are.

- The person is in motion compared to everything on the ground i.e. the person is moving at the same speed as the plane, hence, in comparison with the ground, the person is moving.

Therefore, options A and B are correct

Why do objects not cool to absolute zero by emitting all their thermal energy

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

Because the object should shrink its volume to zero, which is impossible

Explanation:

Let's talk about gases for simplicity. Ideal gases are governed by the ideal gas equation:

$pV=nRT$

where

p is the gas pressure

V is the volume of the gas

n is the number of moles

R is the gas constant

T is the absolute temperature

From the formula, we see that T and V are directly proportional: therefore, in order for a gas to have an absolute temperature of zero, it must also have a volume of zero, which is impossible.

What is the order of magnitude of the distance of Sun to nearest star in meters?

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

Approximating the Milky Way as a disk and using the density in the solar neighborhood, there are about 100 billion stars in the Milky Way.

Explanation:

Since we are making an order of magnitude estimate, we will make a series of simplifying assumptions to get an answer that is roughly right.

Let's model the Milky Way galaxy as a disk.

The volume of a disk is:

⋅

Plugging in our numbers (and assuming that

≈

)

⋅

(

⋅

(

)

Is the approximate volume of the Milky Way.

Now, all we need to do is find how many stars per cubic meter (

) are in the Milky Way and we can find the total number of stars.

Let's look at the neighborhood around the Sun. We know that in a sphere with a radius of

m there is exactly one star (the Sun), after that you hit other stars. We can use that to estimate a rough density for the Milky Way.

Using the volume of a sphere

stars /

Going back to the density equation:

Plugging in the density of the solar neighborhood and the volume of the Milky Way:

(

−

)

⋅

(

)

256

stars (or 100 billion stars)

Is this reasonable? Other estimates say that there are are 100-400 billion stars in the Milky Way. This is exactly what we found.
