Answer:

Mercury and Venus lie closer to Sun than position of Earth

Explanation:

As we know that all planets around the sun in the range of their distance can be arranged as following:

1). Mercury.

2). Venus.

3). Earth.

4). Mars.

5). Jupiter.

6). Saturn.

7). Uranus.

8). Neptune.

Since Earth lie at 3rd position from sun so two closer planets are Mercury and Venus

When an object moves in a circular path, it accelerates toward the center of the circle as a result of ______.
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

Centripetal acceleration

Explanation:

An object moving around a xirxular path maintains its route as a result of centripetal force. However, its acceleration is caused by centripetal acceleration. Despite centripetal acceleration not being among the choices, it is the right answer.

Centripetal acceleration helps an object that navigates around a circular path to accelerate while centripetal force enables the movement of an object around a circular path to move inwards. Momentum, given as one of the choices is product of mass and velocity while friction is the force opposing movement of an object around a surface.

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM

1) The mass of the continent is 2.13\cdot 10^{21} kg

2) The kinetic energy of the continent is 274.8 J

3) The speed of the jogger must be 2.76 m/s

Explanation:

1)

The continent is a slab of side 5900 km (so the surface is 5900 x 5900, assuming it is a square) and depth 26 km, therefore its volume is:

V=(36)(4600)^2=7.62\cdot 10^8 km^3 = 7.62\cdot 10^{17} m^3

The mass of the continent is given by

m=\rho V

where:

\rho = 2790 kg/m^3 is its density

V=7.62\cdot 10^{17} m^3 is its volume

Substituting, we find the mass:

m=(2790)(7.62\cdot 10^{17})=2.13\cdot 10^{21} kg

2)

To find the kinetic energy, we need to convert the speed of the continent into m/s first.

The speed is

v = 1.6 cm/year

And we have:

1.6 cm = 0.016 m

1 year = (365)(24)(60)(60)=3.15\cdot 10^7 s

So, the speed is

v=\frac{0.016 m}{3.15 \cdot 10^7 s}=5.08\cdot 10^{-10}m/s

Now we can find the kinetic energy of the continent, which is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m=2.13\cdot 10^{21} kg is the mass

v=5.08\cdot 10^{-10}m/s is the speed

Substituting,

K=\frac{1}{2}(2.13\cdot 10^{21})(5.08\cdot 10^{-10})^2=274.8 J

3)

The jogger in this part has the same kinetic energy of the continent, so

K = 274.8 J

And its mass is

m = 72 kg

We can write his kinetic energy as

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

v is the speed of the man

And solving the equation for v, we find his speed:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(274.8)}{72}}=2.76 m/s

Lori wants to send a box of oranges to a friend by mail. The box of oranges cannot exceed a mass of 10.222 Kg. If each orange ha
Sergeu [11.5K]

Explanation:

Given that,

The box of oranges cannot exceed a mass of 10.222 Kg if we are sending to a friend by mail.

The mass of each orange is 198 g

We know that,

1 kg = 1000 g

10.222 kg = 10.222×1000 g

Let there are n number of oranges. So,

n=\dfrac{10.222\times 1000\ g}{198\ g}\\\\n=51.92\approx 52\ \text{oranges}

It means she can send 52 oranges and it is maximum quantity.

Give an example of where you see the law of conservation of energy in your life
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

The law of conservation of energy can be seen in these everyday examples of energy transference: Water can produce electricity. Water falls from the sky, converting potential energy to kinetic energy.

The cue ball loses energy because the energy it had has been transferred to the 8 ball, so the cue ball slows down
