What is terminal velocity and how is it reached?

Physics
1 answer:
Ber [7]4 years ago

He thermal velocity or thermal speed is a typical velocity of the thermal motion of particles which make up a gas, liquid, etc. Thus, indirectly, thermal velocity is a measure of temperature. Technically speaking it is a measure of the width of the peak in the Maxwell–Boltzmann particle velocity distribution.

What is true about empirical and molecular formulas?
lora16 [44]

Answer:

Molecular formulas explains how many atoms of each element are in a compound, and empirical formulas explains the simplest or reduced ratio of elements in a compound. For instance, If a compound's molecular formula cannot be further reduced any more, then the empirical formula is the same as the molecular formula.

Someone on Earth would measure the star Vega to be 25 light years away. If you fly a spaceship to Vega at 0.999c, you will measu
gladu [14]

If you fly a spaceship to Vega at 0.999c, you will measure the distance to be much less than 25 light years.

Most space objects use light-years to represent their distance. Light-years are the distance that light travels during the year on Earth. Light-years are about 6 trillion miles (9 trillion km). This is a 6 followed by 12 zeros.

At the same speed, a movement equivalent to one light-year takes about 11.3 billion days. Life expectancy for Americans is currently estimated at 78.74 years, which is equivalent to 28,740 days. Therefore, to get there, you need to live about 400,000 times as long as the average American.

An aquarium 6 m long, 1 m wide, and 1 m deep is full of water. Find the work needed to pump half of the water out of the aquariu
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

Explanation: w= mgh

W= pressure * volume

Pressure= density *gravity *height

Pressure = 1000*9.8*6

Pressure= 58860N/m^2

Work = 58860*6

Work= 353160j

Work = 353.16kj

the diagram below represents the orbits of earth, comet temple-tuttle, and planet x, another planet in out solar system. arrows
mart [117]

Answer:

the most elliptical orbit is that of COMETA

Explanation:

The eccentricity of a curve in defined as the ratio between lacia to the focus, called c and the value of the axis greater than

         ε = c / a

if we use Pythagoras' theorem

         c = \sqrt{a^2 - b^2}

   substituting

           ε = \sqrt{1 - (b/a)^2 }

if   ε = 0 we have a circumference

In the diagram presented the orbit of the comet is an ellipse a> b

          ε=\sqrt{1- x}  \\ x = (\frac{b}{a} )^2

if we expand in series

             ε = 1 - x/2  

             ε=  1 - \frac{1}{2}  \ (\frac{ b}{a} )^2

if we neglect the non-linear terms

            ε = 1

Earth's orbit is a small ellipse

             b / a = 149 10⁶ / 151 10⁶

             b / a = 0.98675

             ε = \sqrt{1- 0.98675^2}

               ε = 0.16

a very small ellipse

Planet X, despite not having data, it seems that the sun is in the scepter of the orbit, so b = a

therefore  both the semi-axes of the curve

        e = a / b

Consequently, the most elliptical orbit is that of COMETA.

SOMEONE PLEASE HURRY!!! Identify when work is done and calculate work (in physics)
Gwar [14]
Work, in physics, measure of energy transfer that occurs when an object is moved over a distance by an external force at least part of which is applied in the direction of the displacement. Work can be calculated with the equation: Work = Force × Distance.
