To make sure you understand how to use the equation, suppose that there are 1000 habitable planets in our galaxy, that 1 in 10 h

abitable planets has life, that 1 in 4 planets with life has at some point had an intelligent civilization, and that 1 in 5 civilizations that have ever existed is in existence now. How many civilizations would exist at present?

5 0

Answer:

5

Explanation:

Number of habitable planets = 1000

Fraction of planet with life = 1/10

Fraction of planet with life and civilization (before) = 1/4

Fraction of planet with life and civilization (now) =1/5

Therefore multiplying we have:

1000×1/10×1/4×1/5 = 5

a ball rolls off the edge of a 2m high shelf at a speed of 5 m/s and hits the ground the taken to hit the ground is
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Use the one-dimensional equation

Δx = v_0t+\frac{1}{2}at^2 where delta x is the displacement of the object, v0 is the velocity of the object, a is the pull of gravity, and t is the time in seconds. That's our unknown.

Δx = -2 (negative because where it ends up is lower than the point at which it started),

v_0=5, and

a = -9.8

Filling in:

-2=5t+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8) t^2 and simplified a bit:

-2=5t-4.9 t^2

this should look hauntingly familiar (a quadratic, which is parabolic motion...very important in physics!!). We begin by getting everything on one side of the equals sign and solving for t by factoring:

-4.9 t^2+5t+2=0 (the 0 is also indicative of the object landing on the ground! Isn't this a beautiful thing, how it all just works so perfectly together?)

When you factor this however your math/physics teacher has you factoring you will get that

t = 1.3 sec and t = -.31 sec

Since we all know that time can NEVER be negative, it takes the ball 1.3 sec to hit the ground from a height of 2 m if it is rolling off the shelf at 5 m/s.

Describe how Rutherford's experiments changed the accepted scientific model of the atom.
lorasvet [3.4K]

Rutherford's model of the atom (ESAAQ) Rutherford carried out some experiments which led to a change in ideas around the atom. His new model described the atom as a tiny, dense, positively charged core called a nucleus surrounded by lighter, negatively charged electrons.

10. According to Newton's First Lawy , if a box is pushed with no external resistance, what will the action of the box be ?
kati45 [8]

Explanation:

According to Newton's First Law of motion, if a box is pushed with no external resistance, the box will keep on moving due to the absence of external force. It might gets stopped due to frictional force that is acting between the surface and the ball. The first law of motion is also known as law of inertia. the magnitude of force acting on the object is given by second law of motion.

List the three types of symbiotic relationships. For each type of symbiotic relationship, explain how the two organisms are affe
Virty [35]
<span>The three major types of symbiosis are mutualism, where both species benefit, commensalism, where one species benefits and the other is unaffected, and parasitism, where one species benefits and the other is harmed. Symbiotic relationships can occur within an organism's body or outside of it.                                                                                                                                                                              </span><span>Examples of mutualism include the relationship between single-celled organisms or animals that incorporate algae into their bodies. They give the algae necessary nutrients, and in return receive chemical energy from the photosynthetic algae. Animals that have this sort of relationship include some sponges, sea anemones and clams. Examples of commensalism include remora fish attaching to the bodies of sharks and eating scraps of food that escape their jaws, and barnacles living on the jaws of whales with a similar feeding strategy. Plants have commensal relationships as well, such as many orchids that grow on taller plants and benefit from the additional sunlight they obtain, without actually stealing nutrients from the host plant. Parasitic relationships are many, and parasites include all disease-causing organisms. This category also includes insects such as fleas that suck the blood of hosts externally. Parasitism is a very efficient strategy for organisms, and parasites often lose many of the features of non-parasitic life forms, instead relying on their hosts for many of the functions of life.</span>
