Answer:

Rays

Explanation:

The moon was formed about 4.5 billion years ago according to most accepted Giant-impact theory. The Lunar surface has shows the following surface features:

Mares-The dark areas of the moon are filled with lava. These smooth and large areas can be seen from the Earth as well. These are about 3 billion years old.

Crater- These are formed when meteoroid impacts the surface. A depression is formed. Thousands of depressions are present of moon's surface. Lundar surface is continuously bombarded by the small meteors. The largest crater is the Tycho crater.

Mountains and ranges- are the bumps on the surface of the moon. These were formed about 4 billion years ago.

Rills- the cracks present on the lunar surface due to motion of its surface.

Rays- these features were last to form. These are bright rays - streaks of debris which radiate out from large impact craters.

A rotating object starts from rest at t = 0 s and has a constant angular acceleration. At a time of t = 2.5 s the object has an

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

52 rad

Explanation:

Using

Ф = ω't +1/2αt²................... Equation 1

Where Ф = angular displacement of the object, t = time, ω' = initial angular velocity, α = angular acceleration.

Since the object states from rest, ω' = 0 rad/s.

Therefore,

Ф = 1/2αt²................ Equation 2

make α the subject of the equation

α = 2Ф/t².................. Equation 3

Given: Ф = 13 rad, t = 2.5 s

Substitute into equation 3

α = 2(13)/2.5²

α = 26/2.5

α = 4.16 rad/s².

using equation 2,

Ф = 1/2αt²

Given: t = 5 s, α = 4.16 rad/s²

Substitute into equation 2

Ф = 1/2(4.16)(5²)

Ф = 52 rad.

If you wish to warm 100 kg of water by 20°C for your bath, how much heat is required? (Give your answer in calories and joules.)

taurus [48]

Q = mcθ

Where m = mass of water in kg.
c = specific heat capacity in kJ/kg⁰C, c for water = 4200 kJ/kg⁰C
θ = temperature rise in ⁰C

Q = 100*4200* 20 Note here the temperature rise is 20 ⁰C
Q = 8 400 000 J

In calories, 4.2 J = 1 Calorie
= 8 400 000 / 4.2 = 200 000

Q = 200 000 Calories
