<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

D. Gravity pulled particles of dust and gas together to form planets.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>The formation of the solar system took place about 4.6 billion years ago when gravity pulled together low-density cloud of interstellar gas and dust. In other words gravity pulled dust and gas particles together to form planets.</u></em>
  • It is believed that the solar system formed from an explosion that caused a disturbance of cloud of gas and dust in space. The explosion formed waves that squeezed the cloud and dust particles. Squeezing made the cloud start to collapse, as gravity pulled the gas and dust together, forming a solar nebula and then planets were formed.
  • <em><u>Gravity is important as It keeps the solar system together because without it the planets including the earth would be floating around.</u></em>

A toy rocket, launched from the ground, rises vertically with an acceleration of 28 m/s 2 for 9.7 s until its motor stops. Disre
vredina [299]

Answer:

5080.86m

Explanation:

We will divide the problem in parts 1 and 2, and write the equation of accelerated motion with those numbers, taking the upwards direction as positive. For the first part, we have:

y_1=y_{01}+v_{01}t+\frac{a_1t^2}{2}

v_1=v_{01}+a_1t

We must consider that it's launched from the ground (y_{01}=0m) and from rest (v_{01}=0m/s), with an upwards acceleration a_{1}=28m/s^2 that lasts a time t=9.7s.

We calculate then the height achieved in part 1:

y_1=(0m)+(0m/s)t+\frac{(28m/s^2)(9.7s)^2}{2}=1317.26m

And the velocity achieved in part 1:

v_1=(0m/s)+(28m/s^2)(9.7s)=271.6m/s

We do the same for part 2, but now we must consider that the initial height is the one achieved in part 1 (y_{02}=1317.26m) and its initial velocity is the one achieved in part 1 (v_{02}=271.6m/s), now in free fall, which means with a downwards acceleration a_{2}=-9,8m/s^2. For the data we have it's faster to use the formula v_f^2=v_0^2+2ad, where d will be the displacement, or difference between maximum height and starting height of part 2, and the final velocity at maximum height we know must be 0m/s, so we have:

v_{02}^2+2a_2(y_2-y_{02})=v_2^2=0m/s

Then, to get y_2, we do:

2a_2(y_2-y_{02})=-v_{02}^2

y_2-y_{02}=-\frac{v_{02}^2}{2a_2}

y_2=y_{02}-\frac{v_{02}^2}{2a_2}

And we substitute the values:

y_2=y_{02}-\frac{v_{02}^2}{2a_2}=(1317.26m)-\frac{(271.6m/s)^2}{2(-9.8m/s^2)}=5080.86m

Find the wavelength λ of the 80.0-khz wave emitted by the bat. express your answer in millimeters.
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

4.29 millimeters

Explanation:

Bats emit ultrasound waves: in air, ultrasound waves travel at a speed of

v=343 m/s

The frequency of the waves emitted by this bat is:

f=80.0 kHz = 80,000 Hz

Therefore we can find the wavelength of the wave emitted by the bat by using the relationship between speed, frequency and wavelength:

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}=\frac{343 m/s}{80,000 Hz}=4.29\cdot 10^{-3} m=4.29 mm

Which of the following is NOT an argument for showing that the Earth must be round: a. during an eclipse of the Moon, the shadow
Hitman42 [59]

Answer: The correct option is option E (the Sun is seen blocking different constellations in the course of a year.

Explanation:

The earth, which is one of the planets of the solar system that supports life, is shperical in shape. The spherical ( round) shape of the earth is marked by the intervening highlands and oceans on its surface.

Evidence to show that the earth is shperical are:

--> The Lunar eclipse: During an eclipse of the Moon, the shadow of the Earth is always seen to be round.

--> Ships Visibility: When ships travel a large distance away, we see their hulls disappear first and their masts disappear last.

-->Altitude of Polaris (North Star): The height of the North Star changes as we travel to different latitudes. That is ,increases as you move toward the North pole, or decreases as you move toward the equator.

--> Aerial photographs: Photographs of the Earth from space always show a round body.

The statement that doesn't prove that the earth is spherical in shape is (the Sun is seen blocking different constellations in the course of a year). The sun is seen in front of stars blocking different constellation in a year because the earth orbits round the sun in a year and not that it is shperical in shape.
