Answer: d) the presence of solidified lava flows on the Moon

Explanation:

A geological activity means an occurrence of event such as volcanic eruption, earthquake, sedimentation, erosion etc. The revolution of the Moon around the Earth , the axial tilt of the Moon or the phases of the Moon are not surface features. hence, these events cannot provide the evidence of geological activity in the past of Moon.

The surface features of moon such as Mares, Craters, mountains, Rays and rills are the proof of some geological activity on the Moon. Mares are the dark patches on the moon's surface formed of solidified lava. Due to negligible atmosphere on the moon, the meteors strike its surface and cause craters to form. Thus, the correct answer is d.

it took 3.5 hours for a train to travel the distance between two cities at a velocity of 120 miles per hour. How many miles lie

Art [367]

Given:

Time: 3.5 hrs

Velocity: 120 miles/hr

Now Distance= Speed × Time

Now Velocity and speed have the same magnitude. Velocity being a vector quantity has a definite direction. Whereas speed is a scalar quantity,it indicates only the magnitude an doesn't define any direction.

Hence Distance = Velocity x time

Distance = 3.5 × 120 = 420 miles

As water across the surface of the earth it dissolves material as it travels. What property of water does this demonstrate?

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

B) Water is a solvent

Explanation:

Among many other chemicals, water can dissolve a variety of substances. The solvent properties of chemicals are far beyond it. That property makes water a universal solvent.

Water has one atom of oxygen and two atoms of hydrogen.

One side of the water molecule is positively charged and the other side is negatively charged. This property attracts other substances like salt and disintegrates into positive and negatively charged ions. This property is due to its physical and chemical nature.

A skater slides across the ice with an initial velocity of 5.0 m/s. She slows 10 points

zvonat [6]

Explanation:

Given that,

The initial velocity of a skater is, u = 5 m/s

She slows to a velocity of 2 m/s over a distance of 20 m.

We can find the acceleration of skater. It is equal to the rate of change of velocity. So, it can be calculated using third equation of motion as follows :

$v^2-u^2=2as$

a = acceleration

$a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\\a=\dfrac{(2)^2-(5)^2}{2\times 20}\\\\a=-0.525\ m/s^2$

So, her acceleration is $0.525\ m/s^2$ and she is deaccelerating. Also, her initial velocity is given i.e. 5 m/s.

A sonar pulse sent out by a boat arrives back after 4 seconds. If the speed of sound in water is 1600m/s, how deep is the water?

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

the boat would be deeped by 3200 m

Explanation:

Given that

The boat arrives back after 4 seconds

And, the speed of the sound in water is 1,600 m/s

We need to find out how much deep is the water

So,

As we know that

Distance = ( speed × time) ÷ 2

Here we divided by 2 because the boat arrives back

= (1600 × 4) ÷ 2

= 3200 m

Therefore the boat would be deeped by 3200 m
