Answer:

Sand can also refer to a textural class of soil or soil type; i.e., a soil containing more than 85 percent sand-sized particles by mass.

Explanation:

Interesting fact...

Why are there differences between the cooling rates of sand and water? Sand cools off faster than water because sand is a solid. Water heats up slower and cools off slower than sand. Sand heats up faster and cools off faster than water.

An office window has dimensions 3.1 m by 2.1 m. As a result of the passage of a storm, the outside air pressure drops to 0.954 a
Virty [35]

Answer:

Net forces which pushes the window is 30342.78 N.

Explanation:

Given:

Dimension of the office window.

Length of the window = 3.1 m

Width of the window = 2.1 m

Area of the window = (3.1\times 2.1) = 6.51\ m^2

Difference in air pressure = Inside pressure - Outside pressure

                                           = (1.0-0.954) atm = 0.046 atm

Conversion of the pressure in its SI unit.

⇒  1 atm = 101325 Pa

⇒ 0.046 atm = 0.046\times 101325 =4660.95 Pa

We have to find the net force.

We know,

⇒ Pressure = Force/Area

⇒ Pressure=\frac{Force }{Area}

⇒ Force =Pressure\times Area

⇒ Plugging the values.

⇒ Force =4660.95\times 6.51

⇒ Force=30342.78 Newton (N)

So,

The net forces which pushes the window is 30342.78 N.

Gretchen runs the first 4.0 km of a race at 5.0 m/s. Then a stiff wind comes up, so she runs the last 1.0 km at only 4.0 m/s.
KIM [24]

Answer:

The velocity is v = 4.76 \ m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The first distance is   d_1  =  4.0 \ km  =  4000 \ m

   The  first speed  is  v_1 =  5.0 \ m/s

    The  second distance is  d_2  =  1.0 \ km  =  1000 \ m

    The  second speed  is  v_2  =  4.0 \ m/s

Generally the time taken for first distance is  

      t_1 =  \frac{d_1 }{v_1 }

        t_1 =  \frac{4000}{5}

       t_1 =  800 \ s

The time taken for second  distance is

           t_1 =  \frac{d_2 }{v_2 }

        t_1 =  \frac{1000}{4}

       t_1 =  250 \ s

The total time is mathematically represented as

     t =  t_1 + t_2

=>   t =  800 + 250

=>    t =  1050 \ s

Generally the constant velocity that would let her finish at the same time is mathematically represented as

      v =  \frac{d_1 + d_2}{t }

=>    v =  \frac{4000 + 1000}{1050 }

=>    v = 4.76 \ m/s

A comet speeds up as it approaches the Sun. Which statement about its kinetic energy is correct?(1 point)
krok68 [10]

A comet speeds up as it approaches the Sun. Which statement about its kinetic energy is correct option is - (1) The comet has no kinetic energy because it is in outer space.

  • Large ice and dust-based bodies known as comets circle the Sun. These ancient objects, which are best known for their long, streaming tails, are relics from the solar system's birth 4.6 billion years ago. The majority of comets are located outside of our solar system. Some are found in the Kuiper Belt, a vast disc that extends past Neptune's orbit. These are known as short-period comets. They orbit the Sun in lesser than 200 years.
  • The Outermost Layer, the solar system's sphere-shaped outer edge, which is nearly 50 times further from the Sun than the Kuiper Belt, is home to additional comets. Because of how much longer it takes them to orbit the Sun, these are known as long-period comets. The comet with the longest known orbit completes one orbit in excess of 250,000 years.

Which explanation of the solar system best fits the observations of the planets and how they orbit the sun?Question options:The
diamong [38]
<h2>Answer:  The planets formed at the center of a collapsing spinning cloud of gas and dust.</h2>

The most accepted theory so far, in relation to the formation of our solar system is that it was originated by the contraction of a cloud of interstellar gas due to its own gravity.

To understand it better:

According to this theory, a cloud of gas and interstellar dust began to shrink due to its own gravity. This led to the increase in the temperature of the system, which began to rotate forming a large gas sphere in the center (the Sun) with a flat disk around it.

This is how the Sun formed from the sphere in the center and the planets formed from the disk orbiting in the same plane.
