<h2><u>Collision of objects:</u></h2>

In a closed system, when two or more particles collide, the sum of momentum of two particles before and after collision will always be the same. In elastic collision, kinetic energy and momentum of a particle remains conserved. Whereas in inelastic collision, momentum remains same before and after collision but some of the particle's kinetic energy may be converted to other forms of energy.

A moving particle or object may possess kinetic energy and it depends mainly on its motion and mass. The kinetic energy is converted into potential energy and converted back to kinetic energy during collision of small particles.

State any two effects of gravitational force​
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
Connection to Big Idea about energy: Gravity creates gravitational potential energy. Gravitational energy relies on the masses of two bodies and their distance.

Connection to Big Idea about the universe: Gravitational force is exerted by all objects with mass throughout the Universe. It is what keeps the Earth and the planets in orbit around the Sun, and our Solar System in orbit around the centre of the Milky Way. Gravity is one of the forces involved in the birth of stars, their evolution and finally their death.

Connection to Big Idea about Earth: The gravitational force is responsible for many physical properties of Earth and consequently it affects the existence and the properties of living creatures on it. For instance, the existence, the chemical composition and the structure of Earth’s atmosphere was determined by Earth’s gravitational force.

The temperature at the surface of the Sun is approximately 5,300 K, and the temperature at the surface of the Earth is approxima
N76 [4]

Answer:

The entropy change of the Universe that occurs is 19.346 J/K

Explanation:

Given;

temperature of the sun, T_s = 5,300 K

temperature of the Earth, T_E = 293 K

radiation energy transferred by the sun to the earth, E = 6000 J

The sun loses Q of heat and therefore decreases its entropy by the amount

\delta S_{sun} = \frac{-Q}{T_s}

The earth gains Q of heat and therefore increases its entropy by the amount

\delta S_{Earth} = \frac{-Q}{T_E}

The total entropy change is:

\delta S_{Earth} + \delta S_{sun} = \frac{Q}{T_E} -\frac{Q}{T_S} \\\\                                                      = Q(\frac{1}{T_E} -\frac{1}{T_S} )\\\\= 6000(\frac{1}{293} -\frac{1}{5300} )\\\\=6000(0.0032243)\\\\= 19.346 \ J/K

Therefore, the entropy change of the Universe that occurs is 19.346 J/K

If A vector = i^-j^+k^ then unit vector in the direction of A vector
Novosadov [1.4K]

If <em>A</em> = <em>i</em> - <em>j</em> + <em>k</em>, then the magnitude of <em>A</em> is

||<em>A</em>|| = √(1² + (-1)² + 1²) = √3

Then the unit vector in the direction of <em>A</em> is 1/||A|| multiplied by <em>A</em> :

<em>u</em> = <em>A</em>/||<em>A</em>|| = (<em>i</em> - <em>j</em> + <em>k</em>)/√3

(choice D)

The key idea of the transformation called translation is the gliding or sliding of every point in the plane the same direction.
Mrrafil [7]
That statement is true.

There are several definitions about transformation called translation, but the key idea is the gliding or sliding of every point in the plane the same direction.

Hope this helps
