1 astronomical unit 1 AU = 1.4960 * 10^11 meters
it is the average distance between earth and sun
mercury to sun distance is = 46,000,000 * 1000 meters
= 4.6 * 10^9 meters = 4.6 * 10^9 / 1.4960 * 10^11 AU
= 3.0.74 / 100 = 0.0374 AU
Answer:
Test bullets fired from the suspected gun
Explanation:
This is the correct answer!! I took the test!!
Answer:
D
Explanation:
A) is not correct, because the gravitation potential energy will depend on the height the block is located at. It will be calculated with the formula:
U=mgh.
If we take the ground as a zero height reference, then on point 2 the potential energy will be:


While on point 3, the potential energy will be greater.


B) is not the right answer because the kinetic energy will vary with the height the block is located at in the fact that the energy is conserved (this is if we don't take friction into account or air resistance) so in this case:

We already know the potential energy at point 2. We can calculate the kinetic energy at point 3 like this:



So the kinetic energy at point 2 is given by the equation:

so:


As you may see the kinetic energy at point 2 is greater than the kinetic energy at point 3.
C) Is not correct because according to the first law of thermodinamics, energy is not lost, only transformed. So, since we are not taking into account friction or any other kind of loss, then we can say that the amount of mechanical energy at point 1 is exactly the same as the mechanical energy at point 3.
D) Because of what we talked about on part C, this will be the true situation, because the mechanical energy of the block will be the same no matter theh point you measure it at.
Answer: is<u><em> Second Law of Thermodynamics (conduction)</em></u>.
john stirs the hot soup with a spoon the heat travels up the spoon to his hand is due to the basic law of conduction, also known as the second law of thermodynamics . Heat always travels from hot things toward the cold things, is proved by the phenomena that a cup of tea always get cold, and and a cold dessert or ice cream always melts. Its not possible that the cup of tea become boiling by itself and similarly an ice cream getting frozen on its own in on a hot day. To understand this point there are three ways in which heat can travel namely, conduction, radiation and convection. The process due to heat travels up to the spoon from the soup towards john's hand is called conduction. Conduction is the process in which heat travels between two solid things that are at different temperature. Cooking soup in a saucepan with a metal spoon will make your fingers hot because of the conduction of heat, that travels through the boiling soup pan through metal spoon towards your hand.
