Newton's First and Second Laws of Motion:Question 3Kepler-10b, the first confirmed terrestrial extrasolar planet, is about 564 l

ight-years away from Earth. Kepler-10b is a superearth, meaning it is a little larger and more massive than Earth. It has a surface gravity that is 1.53 times that of Earth. How much thrust would be required to accelerate a 5,000-kg spacecraft 2.13 m/s2 from the surface of Kepler-10b

Answer:

F = 85696.5 N = 85.69 KN

Explanation:

In this scenario, we apply Newton's Second Law:

Unbalanced\ Force = ma\\Upthrust - Weight\ of\ Space\ Craft = ma\\F - W = ma\\F - mg = ma\\F = m(g + a)\\

where,

F = Upthrust = ?

m = mass of space craft = 5000 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity on surface of Kepler-10b = (1.53)(9.81 m/s²)

g = 15.0093 m/s²

a = acceleration required = 2.13 m/s²

Therefore,

F = (5000\ kg)(15.0093\ m/s^{2} + 2.13\ m/s^{2})\\

<u>F = 85696.5 N = 85.69 KN</u>

A scientist compares two samples of white powder. One powder was present at the beginning of an experiment. The other powder was
Jet001 [13]
Density of powder 1 = 0.5 g / 45 cm^3 = 1/90 g/cm^3
Density of powder 2 = 1.3 g / 65 cm^3 = 1/50 g/cm^3

Therefore the densities of the two powders are different, hence chemical reaction has occurred.

(note: none of the other choices make sense.  In fact, a different density does not necessarily indicate a chemical change, see paragraph below).

Density of powders are not definitive unless they are each of the same size and texture.  For example, granular sugar, rock sugar, and icing sugar all have different densities.  I would conclude that this experiment does not lend to a reliable answer.

The complexity and variety of organic molecules is due to
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

Due to the chemical versatility of carbon atoms

Explanation:

Carbon is a very important element and it is commonly found in many varieties of chemical compounds. They are also found to be present in space in various amount. It is often considered to be versatile because they are capable of forming single, double, as well as triple bonds. This enables them to make single and branched chains. They also form ring chains when combined with other atoms of carbon.

It is because of this versatility of carbon atoms, there forms complex variety of organic molecules.

In an electromagnetic wave in free space, the electric and magnetic fields are A. parallel to one another and perpendicular to t
Leto [7]

Answer:

C. perpendicular to one another and perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.

Explanation:

An Electromagnetic wave (EM wave) is a wave having both electric and magnetic components in it. These wave radiates electromagnetic energy while propagating through the space. The electric and magnetic field component of the wave have an angle of 90° to each other aming them perpendicular while they both are perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation as well.

Some examples of EM waves are: UV rays, IR radiation, Radio waves etc. These waves propagate at the speed of light in vacuum.

12. In which of the positions shown in the picture, will Joshua have both potential and kinetic energy?​
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

<em>Answer: D. Only R</em>

Explanation:

<u>The Principle Of Conservation Of Mechanical Energy</u>

In the absence of friction, the total mechanical energy is conserved. That means that

Em=U+K is constant, being U the potential energy and K the kinetic energy.

At the top of the path (point Q), Joshua is at rest but his height is at a maximum. Thus his kinetic energy is zero.

At point P, Joshua is at the minimum level (potential energy zero) and his speed is at a maximum.

At point R, Joshua has some height and some speed which means he has both types of energy.

Answer: D. Only R

Dmitriy789 [7]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>A) Increase the voltage by adding a bigger battery </u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

According to Ohm's law

V = IR

where V is voltage, I is current and R is the resistance. If we write the equation for resistance we would get

R= V / I

Here we can see that Voltage is directly proportional to Resistance so in order to keep the balance if we increase the resistance then we must increase the voltage to keep the current constant.
