Answer:

c. Sound travels slower than light.

Explanation:

We see any thing because of the light emitted or reflected by it. Whereas the sound is carried by the sound waves. The speed of light is more than the speed of sound. This is the reason the family saw the fireworks first and then heard the sound.

The same can be experienced during the sighting of a Jet plane or a rocket where, we see them way before we can hear the roaring sound of its engines.

1. Is the relationship between velocity and centripetal force a direct, linear relationship or is it a nonlinear square relation
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

non linear square relationship

Explanation:

formula for centripetal force is given as

a = mv^2/r

here a ic centripetal acceleration , m is mass of body moving in circle of radius r and v is velocity of body . If m ,and r are constant we have

a = constant × v^2

a α v^2

hence non linear square relationship

What happens to the particles in water as the water is heated and turns to vapor? (2 points)
Naddik [55]

Answer:

The particles will more likely to move faster since they are converted from a liquid to gas.

Rules for States of Matter:

1. Solid particles always are packed close together and don't have much space to move.

2. Liquid particles have space to move around but are still packed together, but not as close as solid.

3. Gas particles are moving freely, in fact they are in the air! Gas particles are free to move wherever. For example, the air has gas particles that are constantly bumping into each other.

Suppose your friend claims to have discovered a mysterious force in nature that acts on all particles in some region of space. H
kirill [66]

Answer:

             U = 1 / r²

Explanation:

In this exercise they do not ask for potential energy giving the expression of force, since these two quantities are related

             

         F = - dU / dr

this derivative is a gradient, that is, a directional derivative, so we must have

          dU = - F. dr

the esxresion for strength is

         F = B / r³

let's replace

          ∫ dU = - ∫ B / r³  dr

in this case the force and the displacement are parallel, therefore the scalar product is reduced to the algebraic product

let's evaluate the integrals

            U - Uo = -B (- / 2r² + 1 / 2r₀²)

To complete the calculation we must fix the energy at a point, in general the most common choice is to make the potential energy zero (Uo = 0) for when the distance is infinite (r = ∞)

             U = B / 2r²

we substitute the value of B = 2

             U = 1 / r²

3. A train covers 168 km in 4 hours. How much distance will it cover in 80<br> minutes?
Kay [80]

Answer:

56km

Explanation:

168 ÷ 240 = 0.7

0.7 × 80 = 56km

240 is the amount of minutes in 4 hours.

We divided 168 by 240 to get the distance covered in 1 minute. Afterwards, we needed 80 minutes so we multiplied the answer by 80.

Describe the story of the constellation Capricornus. WILL MARK BRAINLEST IF NOT STOLEN FROM A WEBSITE OR ANYTHING WITH A PROPER
ICE Princess25 [194]

Your answer:

In Greek mythology, this constellation is related with the time the Olympian gods sought refuge in Egypt. Unfortunately, following their epic fighting with the Titans, peace did not closing for long, as the monster Typhon, son of the Titan Tartarus and Earth, sought revenge. Typhon was once a fearsome fire-breathing creature, taller than mountains and with palms which possessed dragons' heads in region of fingers. The Olympian gods sought to break out by way of adopting a number disguises: Zeus, a ram - Hera, a white cow, Bacchus (another model of the fable suggests Pan) a goat. As Typhon approached, Bacchus/Pan threw himself into the Nile but, in a panic, solely succeeded in altering part of his body, ending up with a goat's physique and the tail of a fish. Meanwhile, Zeus had been dismembered via Typhon, however was saved when Bacchus/Pan let out an ear-splitting yell, distracting the monster lengthy ample for an agile Hermes to gather the supreme god's limbs and cautiously fix him. In gratitude, Zeus transferred Bacchus/Pan to the heavens.
