Answer: The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

Weight = Mass × Acceleration

Let the mass of the space probe be m

Acceleration due to gravity on the earth = g

Weight of the space probe on earth = W

W=m\times g

Acceleration due to gravity on the Jupiter = g' = 2.5g

Weight of the space probe on earth = W'

W'=mg'=m\times 2.5g

\frac{W'}{W}=\frac{m\times 2.5g}{m\times g}

W'=2.5\times W

The weight of the space probe on the Jupiter will be 2.5 times the weight of the space probe on earth.

Hence, the correct answer is option C.

A cyclist going downhill is accelerating at 1. 2 m/s2. If the final velocity of the cyclist is 16 m/s after 10 seconds, what is
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf v_i= 4 \ m/s}}

Explanation:

We are asked to find the cyclist's initial velocity. We are given the acceleration, final velocity, and time, so we will use the following kinematic equation.

v_f= v_i + at

The cyclist is acceleration at 1.2 meters per second squared. After 10 seconds, the velocity is 16 meters per second.

  • v_f= 16 m/s
  • a= 1.2 m/s²
  • t= 10 s

Substitute the values into the formula.

16 \ m/s = v_i + (1.2 \ m/s^2)(10 \ s)

Multiply.

16 \ m/s = v_i + (1.2 \ m/s^2 * 10 \ s)

16 \ m/s = v_i + 12 \ m/s

We are solving for the initial velocity, so we must isolate the variable v_i. Subtract 12 meters per second from both sides of the equation.

16 \ m/s - 12 \ m/s = v_i + 12 \ m/s -12 \ m/s

4 \ m/s = v_i

The cyclist's initial velocity is <u>4 meters per second.</u>

Which one of the following statements concerning the Stefan-Boltzmann equation is correct? The equation can be used to calculate
Helen [10]

"The equation can be used to calculate the power absorbed by any surface" statement concerning the Stefan-Boltzmann equation is correct.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to Stefan Boltzmann equation, the power radiated by black body radiation source is directly proportionate to the fourth power of temperature of the source. So the radiation transferred is absorbed by another surface and that absorbed power will also be equal to the fourth power of the temperature. So the equation describes the relation of net radiation loss with the change in temperature from hotter temperature to cooler temperature surface.  

                            P=e \sigma A\left(T^{4}-T_{c}^{4}\right)

So this law is application for calculating power absorbed by any surface.

One hundred jumping beans are placed along the center line of a gymnasium floor at six-inch intervals. Twelve hours later, the d
stira [4]

Answer:

a) Diffusion  coefficient, D = 1.5 in/hr

b) Mean jump frequency, f = 0.0833 Hz

Explanation:

a) The relationship between the diffusion coefficient, time and mean displacement and can be given by the expression:

^{2} = 2Dt..........(1)

Where <r> = mean displacement

D = Diffusion coefficient

t = time = 12 hrs

sum of the squares of the distance divided by 100 is 36 in2.

<r>²= 36 in²

Substituting these values into equation (1) above

36 = 2 * D *12\\36 = 24 D\\D = 36/24\\D = 1.5 in/hr

b) Mean jumping distance, <r> = 0.1 inches

Applying equation (1) again

Where D = 1.5 in/hr

^{2} = 2Dt

0.1^{2}  = 2 * 1.5t\\0.01 = 3t\\t = 0.01/3\\t = 0.0033 hrs\\t = 0.0033 * 3600\\t = 12 seconds

The mean jump frequency, f = 1/t

f = 1/12

f = 0.0833 Hz

Fiona followed these steps for a scientific investigation: 1. Collect baking soda and vinegar 2. Pour baking soda into a bowl. 3
horrorfan [7]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct statement is combining baking soda and vinegar will cause a chemical change.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A chemical reaction is defined as the reaction in which two or more chemical substances react to form two or more different chemical substances

A new substance (product) is formed in a chemical reaction when the bonds between the reactants are broken so that the new bonds between the products can be formed.

A physical process is defined as the process in which the physical state of matter takes place. Like, in the process of vaporization, a liquid state changes to the gaseous state without changing the composition of species.

When baking soda (Sodium bicarbonate) is reacted with vinegar (acetic acid), it leads to the formation of sodium acetate, water, and carbon dioxide.

A new compound is getting formed in this process which is denoted by the chemical equation:

NaHCO_3+CH_3COOH\rightarrow CH_3COONa+H_2O+CO_2

Hence, the correct statement is combining baking soda and vinegar will cause a chemical change.
