Material from space came together and form a planet called earth.

Approximately 4.6 billion years ago, the solar system was a cloud of dust and gas known as a solar nebula. Gravity collapsed the material in on itself as it began to spin, forming the sun in the center of the nebula.

With the rise of the sun, the remaining material began to clump up. Small particles drew together, bound by the force of gravity, into larger particles. The solar wind swept away lighter elements, such as hydrogen and helium, from the closer regions, leaving only heavy, rocky materials to create smaller terrestrial worlds like Earth.

God did not create earth, it has been proven.

The owner of a van installs a rear-window lens that has a focal length of -0.304 m. When the owner looks out through the lens at

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

$p =-1.03$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Focal length of lens $f=-0.304 m$

Image distance $q=0.237 m$

Height of image $H_i=0.343$

Generally the lens equation is mathematically given by

$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{q} - \frac{1}{p}$

Where $p$ is Subject

$p = \frac{(qf) }{(f - q)}$

$p = \frac{(-0.237)(-0.304)) }{((-0.304) - (0.237))}$

$p =-1.03$

Therefore the distance between the person and the car is

$p =-1.03$

A mercury thermometer is constructed as

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

The change in height of the mercury is approximately 2.981 cm

Explanation:

Recall that the formula for thermal expansion in volume is:

$\frac{\Delta V}{V_0} =\alpha_V\, \Delta\, T\\\Delta V = V_0\,\, \alpha_V\,\,\Delta C$

from which we solved for the change in volume $\Delta V$ due to a given change in temperature $\Delta T$

We can estimate the initial volume of the mercury in the spherical bulb of diameter 0.24 cm ( radius R = 0.12 cm) using the formula for the volume of a sphere:

$V_0=\frac{4}{3} \pi \, R^3\\V_0=\frac{4}{3} \pi \, (0.12\,cm)^3\\V_0=0.007238\,cm^3$

Therefore, the change in volume with a change in temperature of 36°C becomes:

$\Delta V = V_0\,\, \alpha_V\,\,\Delta C\\\Delta V = 0.007238229\, cm^3\,(0.000182)\,(36)\\\Delta V=0.0000474248\, cm^3$

Now, we can use this difference in volume, to estimate the height of the cylinder of mercury with diameter 0.0045 cm (radius r= 0.00225 cm):

$V_{cyl}=\pi r^2\,h\\h =\frac{V_{cyl}}{\pi r^2} \\h=\frac{0.0000474248\, cm^3}{\pi \, (0.00225\,cm)^2} \\h=2.98188 \,cm$

explain why astronauts around the earth either in spaceship, a space station, or on a spacewalk appear to be weightless but are

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Zero gravity

Explanation:

Astronauts around the earth either in spaceship, a space station or on a space walk appear to be weightless because of the zero gravity in such environment.

Weight is a function of the mass and acceleration due to gravity a body has.

Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity

In a place where acceleration due to gravity is 0, the weight would be zero and a person would appear to be weightless.
