Answer:

No collision or altered trajectory

Similar percentage of oxygen isotopes

Explanation:

Capture hypothesis states that the Earth captured the moon. This is highly unlikely as such interactions of this type of bodies leads to a collision or their trajectories are altered. The percentage of the oxygen isotopes such as 16O, 17O and 18O in the Moon's basalts are almost identical with Earth. While meteorites have different percentage of oxygen isotopes.

Currently the accepted hypothesis is the giant-impact hypothesis.

Answer:

option B

Explanation:

When a body is immersed in liquid there will be two force is acting on the body.

First one force acting downward due to weight of the body.

And the second force acting on the object will be buoyant force.

If the object is not in equilibrium the apparent weight will be equal to net force acting on the object.

$F_{net} = W - F_b$

W is the weight of the object acting downward

Fb is the buoyancy force acting upward on the object.

Hence, the correct answer is option B

A wheel is rotating at 30.0 rpm. The wheel then accelerates uniformly to 50.0 rpm in 10.0 seconds. Determine the – a) rate of an

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

The angular acceleration is $0.209\ rad/s^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

Angular velocity, $\omega_{i} = 30.0\ rpm$

Angular velocity, $\omega_{f} = 50.0\ rpm$

Time t = 10.0 sec

We need to calculate the angular acceleration

Using formula of angular acceleration

$\alpha=\dfrac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t}$

$\alpha=\dfrac{\omega_{f}-\omega_{i}}{\Delta t}$

$\alpha=\dfrac{50.0-30.0}{10.0}$

Now, we change the angular velocity in rad/s.

$\omega=20\times\dfrac{2\pi}{60}$

$\omega=2.09\ rad/s$

$\alpha=\dfrac{2.09}{10.0}$

$\alpha=0.209\ rad/s^2$

Hence, The angular acceleration is $0.209\ rad/s^2$

Answer:

Frequency of the light will be equal to $6.97\times 10^{1}Hz$

Explanation:

We have given wavelength of the light $\lambda =430nm=430\times 10^{-9}m$

Velocity of light is equal to $v=3\times 10^8m/sec$

We have to find the frequency of light

We know that velocity is equal to $v=\lambda f$ , here $\lambda$ is wavelength and f is frequency of light

So frequency of light will be equal to $f=\frac{v}{\lambda }=\frac{3\times 10^8}{430\times 10^{-9}}=6.97\times 10^{1}Hz$

So frequency of the light will be equal to $6.97\times 10^{1}Hz$

2. Which statement is correct about the Krebs cycle?

IRINA_888 [86]

The correct option is

a. Acetyl-CoA combines with a pyruvic acid to make glucose in the Krebs cycle.

Explanation:

The Krebs citric acid cycle happens within the mitochondrial matrix and generates a pool of energy (ATP, NADH, and FADH2) from the oxidization of pyruvate, the tip product of metabolism. Pyruvate is transported into the mitochondria and loses dioxide to make acetyl-CoA, a 2-carbon molecule.
