Answer:

Hey

Your answer would be Radioactive Decay and Heat of formation.

When earth first formed it was very violant. Some planetary scientists believe that the moon was created from a collision involving earth and Thea (a theoretical dwarf planet). these collisions that have formed earth heated it so much that it is still hot from them.

Radioactivce decay is another major fource of internal heat for earth.

galina1969 [7]

The formula for this problem that we will be using is:
F * cos α = m * g * μs where:F = 800m = 87g = 9.8
cos α = m*g*μs/F= 87*9.8*0.55/800= 0.59 So solving the alpha, find the arccos above.
α = arccos 0.59 = 54 ° is the largest value of alpha

At what speed do a bicycle and its rider, with a combined mass of 100 kg , have the same momentum as a 1600 kg car traveling at

noname [10]

$Given:\\m_b=100kg\\m_c=1600kg\\v_c=5.2 \frac{m}{s} \\p_b=p_c\\\\Find:\\v_b=?\\\\Solution:\\\\p_b=p_c\\\\p=mv\\\\m_bv_b=m_cv_c\Rightarrow v_b= \frac{m_cv_c}{m_b} \\\\v_b= \frac{1600kg\cdot5.2 \frac{m}{s} }{100kg} =83.2 \frac{m}{s}$

A skier starts from rest down a slope 500.0 M long, the skier accelerates at a constant rate of 2.00 m/s/s, what's the velocity

nevsk [136]

We can use the kinematic equation
$(v_f)^2 = (v_i)^2 + 2*a*d$
where Vf is what we are looking for
Vi is 0 since we start from rest
a is acceleration
and d is the distance

we get
(Vf)^2 = (0)^2 + 2*(2)*(500)
(Vf)^2 = 2000
Vf = about 44.721
or 44.7 m/s [if you are rounding this by significant figures]
