Question: In which situation would a space probe most likely experience centripetal acceleration?

as it revolves around a planet

as it flies straight past a moon

as it is pulled in a line toward the Sun

as it lifts off from Earth

Answer:

When "space probe revolves around a planet" most likely to experience centripetal acceleration

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration defined as the rate in change of tangential velocity. Also, as per Newton's second law, any kind of force will be directly proportional to the acceleration attained by the object. So, for centripetal acceleration, the force will be the centripetal force. The centripetal force will be acting on an object rotating in a circular motion with its direction of force towards the center. Thus, centripetal acceleration will be experienced by an object or a space probe when it is in a circular motion. It means the space probe is revolving around a planet.

Even though metalloids are also conductors of heat and electricity, malleable they are not as good as metals.
Metals are very good conductors of electricity and heat. They are also very hard to touch. Noble gases and non metals are the exact opposite in physical and chemical properties. Metals readily react with oxygen.

Two students below described a part of Earth's innermost layer:

Molodets [167]

The answer to your question is B- They both described the inner part otherwise known as the inner core.

The inner core is hotter than the surface of the sun. The inner core is made out of iron and nickel. The inner core is extremely hot and is the last layer. It is a solid because of all the pressure from the other layers putting there weight onto this layer.

Through which one of the following mediums is the velocity of a sound wave the greatest?

Colt1911 [192]

Answer: C. Steel

Explanation: When a sound wave travels through a solid body consisting

of an elastic material, the velocity of the wave is relatively

high. For instance, the velocity of a sound wave traveling

through steel (which is almost perfectly elastic) is about

5,060 meters per second. On the other hand, the velocity

of a sound wave traveling through an inelastic solid is

relatively low. So, for example, the velocity of a sound wave

traveling through lead (which is inelastic) is approximately

1,402 meters per second.

A machine gear consists of 0.10 kg of iron and 0.16 kg of copper.

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

option (c)

Explanation:

mass of iron = 0.10 kg

mass of copper = 0.16 kg

rise in temperature, ΔT = 35°C

specific heat of iron = 450 J/kg°C

specific heat of copper = 390 J/kg°C

Heat by iron (H1) = mass of iron x specific heat of iron x ΔT

H1 = 0.10 x 450 x 35 = 1575 J

Heat by copper (H2) = mass of copper x specific heat of copper x ΔT

H1 = 0.16 x 390 x 35 = 2184 J

Total heat H = H1 + H2

H = 1575 + 2184 = 3759 J

by rounding off

H = 4000 J
