A friend of yours who has not taken astronomy sees a meteor shower (she calls it a bunch of shooting stars). The next day she co

nfides in you that she was concerned that the stars in the Big Dipper (her favorite star pattern) might be the next ones to go. How would you put her mind at ease?

Tell her meteors and stars aren't related a stars life time is extremely long and meteors are just rocks floating through space when they fly be the earth they can appear like falling stars but they aren't her fave constellation wont be going away any time soon

Stream systems that have a low sediment load and low velocity and flow over unconsolidated sediments form _____________ stream c
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Meandering

Explanation:

A meander is known as the continuous flow of regular curves which are sinuous, loops, turns, bends or winding in the channel of river

Production of a meander by a river or stream  as it erodes the sediments comprising on an exterior, a concave bank and deposits it and other sediment on the downstream on an interior, convex bank which is like a point bar.

Rivers or streams  with a one channel and sinuosities of 1.6 or more are defined as meandering rivers or streams.

What is the energy required to change 600g of liquid into steam if the specific heat latent is 4000 J/kg
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

2400 J

Explanation:

Latent heat: This is also called hidden heat, it is the heat that is not detectable by the thermometer.

From the question,

Q = cm.................. Equation 1

Where Q = Energy, c = specific latent heat of the liquid, m = mass of the liquid.

Given: c = 4000 J/kg, m = 600 g =( 600/1000) kg = 0.6 kg

Substitute these values into equation 1

Q = 4000×0.6

Q = 2400 J

Hence the energy required is 2400 J

Cause and Effect: How do changes in temperature affect air? Pls hurry I’m being timed
Elan Coil [88]
As the molecules heat and move faster, they are moving apart. So air, like most other substances, expands when heated and contracts when cooled. Because there is more space between the molecules, the air is less dense than the surrounding matter and the hot air floats upward.

Wind instruments like trumpets and saxophones work on the same principle as the "tube closed on one end" that we examined in our
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

 f = v / 4L

the frequency of the instruments is reduced by the decrease in the speed of the wave with the temperature.

Explanation:

In wind instruments the wave speed must meet

          v = λ f

          λ = v / f

from v is the speed of sound that depends on the temperature

          v = v₀ \sqrt{1+ \frac{T [C]}{273} }

where I saw the speed of sound at 0ºC v₀ = 331 m/s  the temperature is in degrees centigrade, we can take the degrees Fahrenheit to centigrade with the relation

            (F -32) 5/9 = C

            76ºF = 24.4ºC

            45ºF = 7.2ºC

           

With this relationship we can see that the speed of sound is significantly reduced when leaving the house to the outside

at T₁ = 24ºC               v₁ = 342.9 m / s

at T₂ = 7ºC                 v₂ = 339.7 m / s

To satisfy this speed the wavelength of the sound must be reduced, so the resonant frequencies change

              λ / 4 = L

              λ= 4L

              v / f = 4L

              f = v / 4L

Therefore, the frequency of the instruments is reduced by the decrease in the speed of the wave with the temperature.

What force is needed to accelerate an object 5 m/s^2 if the object has a mass of 10kg?
RUDIKE [14]
It is important to pay attention to the fundamental units in the given information of physics problems; if you carefully arrange a system so the units cancel out appropriately, the answer is usually correct.

Force is mass x acceleration<span>, </span><span>and the units of force are (Kg/m</span>·s²). In this system, a 10 Kg system is accelerated by 5 m/s². Simply multiply:
10 Kg x 5 m/s² = 50 Kg·m/s² = 50 Newtons
