When 'The big bang' happened lots of large pieces of molten rock was flying around the solar system. As the rocks crashed together they got bigger and as the got bigger they attracted more rocks. Some scientists think that a large piece of molten rock hit the still developing Earth and created the Moon. This impact also caused the Earths angled spin. The Moon got trapped in Earth's orbit and has stayed ever since. Small astroids have hit the Moon causing craters. The Earth doesn't get hit as much because of our thicker atmosphere. Hope this helps!

A police officer is parked by the side of the road, when a speeding car travelling at 50 mi/hrpasses. The police car immediately
Blababa [14]

Answer:

a) time taken to catch up with speeding car is 12.25 secs

b) the police car will travel 273.8 m to catch up with the speeding car

Explanation:

Given that;

speed of car V_{c} = 50 mi/hr = 22.352 m/s

acceleration of police car = 10 mi/hr = 4.47 m/s²

V_{f}  = 70 mi/hr = 31.29 m/s

Now time taken to reach maximum speed is t₁

so

V_{f} =  V_{i} + at₁

we substitute

31.29 = 0 + 4.47t₁

t₁ = 31.29 / 4.47

t₁  = 7 sec

now

d₁ = 0 + 1/2 × at₁²

d₁ = 0 + 1/2 × 0 + 4.47×(7)²

d₁ = 109.5 m

so distance travelled by the speeding car in time t₁  will be

d_{c} = V_{c} × t₁

we substitute

d_{c} = 22.352 × 7

d_{c}  = 156.46 m

now distance between polive car and speeding car

Δd =  d_{c} - d₁

Δd = 156.46 - 109.5

Δd = 46.96 m

time taken to cover Δd will be

t₂ = Δd / ( V_{f} - V_{c} )

t₂ = 46.96 / ( 31.29 - 22.352 )

t₂ = 46.96 / 8.938

t₂ = 5.25 sec

distance travelled by the police in time t₂ will be

d₂ = V_{f} × t₂

d₂ = 31.29 × 5.25

d₂ = 164.3 m

a) How long will it take before the officer catches up to the speeding car;

time taken to catch up with speeding car;

t = t₁ + t₂

t = 7 + 5.25

t = 12.25 secs

Therefore, time taken to catch up with speeding car is 12.25 secs

b)  how far will it have travelled in order to do so;

distance = d₁ + d₂

distance = 109.5 + 164.3

distance = 273.8 m

Therefore, the police car will travel 273.8 m to catch up with the speeding car

what volume of alcohol will have the same mass as 4.2m^3 of petrol? (density of alcohol 0.4kg/m^3 and petrol is 0.3kg/m^3)​
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

3.15m³

Explanation:

To solve this problem, let us first find the mass of the petrol from the given dimension.

       Mass  = density x volume

Volume of petrol  = 4.2m³

Density of petrol  = 0.3kgm⁻³  

       Mass of petrol  = 4.2 x 0.3  = 1.26kg

So;

      We can now find the volume of the alcohol

 Volume of alcohol = \frac{mass}{density}  

Mass of alcohol  = 1.26kg

Density of alcohol  = 0.4kgm⁻³  

  Volume of alcohol  = \frac{1.26}{0.4}   = 3.15m³

1. How are each of Newton’s Laws of motion demonstrated
stepan [7]

Answer:

Newton's law of inertia - His first law states that every object remains at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force. ... This is the first part cited in Newton's first law; "there is no net force on the airplane and it travels at a constant velocity in a straight line."

Newton's law of acceleration -  "a net external force changes the velocity of the object. The drag of the aircraft depends on the square of the velocity. So the drag increases with increased velocity."

Newton's law of Action/Reaction - "As a plane flies, the force of the air hitting the plane is always equal and opposite to the force of the plane pushing against the air. The force generated by the engine pushes against air while the air pushes back with an equal and opposite force."

Hope this helps! god bless :)
