While watching a recent science fiction movie, one Klingon spaceship blows up a Droid spaceship with a laser gun. The Klingon cr

ew watches out the port window and covers their ears to muffle the noise from the explosion. Scientifically, this scene is inaccurate because
A)
light can not reflect off objects in the vacuum of space.



B)
they would not be able to see anything outside the window.



C)
lasers can not be transmitted through the vacuum of space.



D)
the sound of the explosion would not be transmitted back to their ship.

Answer:

D)  the sound of the explosion would not be transmitted back to their ship.

Explanation:

Sound is a mechanical wave. A mechanical wave requires a medium to travel and transfer energy. It travels be compression and rarefaction of the medium. Since in space it is vacuum, the sound energy by the explosion of the spaceship would not be able to travel through the space, the Klingon crew are not required to cover their ears to muffle the noise. This scene would be inaccurate scientifically.

A fireman is sliding down a fire pole. As he speeds up, he tightens his grip on the pole, thus increasing the vertical frictiona
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

The fireman will continue to descend, but with a constant speed.

Explanation:

In kinetic friction <em>(which is the case discussed here) </em>since the fireman is already in motion because of a certain force, once the frictional force matches the normal force, the fireman will stop accelerating and continue moving at a constant rate with the original speed he had. We will need a force greater than the normal force acting on the fireman to cause a deceleration.

We need to understand the difference between static friction and kinetic friction.

Static friction occurs in objects that are stationary, while kinetic friction occurs in objects that are already in motion.  

In static friction, when the frictional force matches the weight or normal force of the object, the object remains stationary.

While in kinetic friction, when the frictional force matches the normal force, the object will stop accelerating. This is the case of the fireman sliding down the pole as discussed above.

The outer planets are similar to the planet Earth; they just happen to be farther away from the Sun.
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The inner planets are called terrestrial planets due to the surfaces are solid (similar to Earth)-made up of heavy metals, either have no moons or few moons.

The outer planets are called Jovian planets or gas giants because they are encased in gas.  They all have rings with plenty of moons.

A spherical balloon with radius r inches has volume V(r) = 4 3 πr3. Find an expression that represents the amount of air require
DerKrebs [107]
So the question ask to formulate an expression to represent the amount of air required to inflate the balloon from a radius of R+4 and the expression would be V=16pi/3*(3r^2+12r+16). I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more if you have question and further clarifications
