As your rockets went upwards how would you describe how the energies changed?

1 answer:

4 0

As a rocket increases height and slows down, it gains more and more potential energy and loses more and more kinetic energy. Potential energy is store energy (usually determined by height), and kinetic energy increases as speed increases.

Astronomers can now report that active star formation was going on at a time when the universe was only 20% as old as it is toda

disa [49]

Answer:

First, as you may know, the light travels at a given velocity.

In vaccum, this velocity is c = 3x10^8 m/s.

And we know that:

distance = velocity*time

Now, if some object (like a star ) is really far away, the light that comes from that star may take years to reach the Earth.

This means that the images that the astronomers see today, actually happened years and years ago (So the night sky is like a picture of the "past" of the universe)

Also, for example, if an astronomer sees some particular thing, he can apply a model (a "simplification" of some phenomena that is used to simplify it an explain it) and with the model, the scientist can infer the information of the given thing some time before it was seen.

The force between two charged bodies is called ______________.

stepladder [879]

The Coulomb force between two or more charged bodies is the force between them due to Coulomb's law. If the particles are both positively or negatively charged, the force is repulsive; if they are of opposite charge, it is attractive. ... Like the gravitational force, the Coulomb force is an inverse square law.

The temperature of a 700.96 gram piece of metal falls 120⁰C and in the process releases 2001 Joules of energy. What is the speci

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

The specific heat for the metal is 0.466 J/g°C.

Explanation:

Given,

Q = 1120 Joules

mass = 12 grams

T₁ = 100°C

T₂ = 300°C

The specific heat for the metal can be calculated by using the formula

Q = (mass) (ΔT) (Cp)

ΔT = T₂ - T₁ = 300°C - 100°C = 200°C

Substituting values,

1120 = (12)(200)(Cp)

Cp = 0.466 J/g°C.

Therefore, specific heat of the metal is 0.466 J/g°C.

katen-ka-za [31]

Magnetic fields

Explanation:

The presence of magnetic fields best explains why a magnet can act a distance on other magnets or on objects containing certain metals.

Magnetic fields are lines of forces around a bar magnet.
These lines of forces attracts and repels other magnetic bodies and metallic bodies round it.
Magnetic lines of forces originates at the north pole and enters in the south pole.
Areas around a magnetic body are bounded by force fields.
A magnet has permanent magnetic fields round it.
