Elza [17]3 years ago

Answer:

A solar eclisp  happens when the moon gets in the way of the sun’s light and casts its shadow on Earth. That means during the day, the moon moves over the sun and it gets dark.

This total eclipse happens about every year and a half somewhere on Earth. A partial eclipse, when the moon doesn’t completely cover the sun, happens at least twice a year somewhere on Earth.But not everyone experiences every solar eclipse. Getting a chance to see a total solar eclipse is rare. The moon’s shadow on Earth isn’t very big, so only a small portion of places on Earth will see it. You have to be on the sunny side of the planet when it happens. You also have to be in the path of the moon’s shadow.

On average, the same spot on Earth only gets to see a solar eclipse for a few minutes about every 375 years!

If the volume is held constant, what happens to the pressure of a gas as temperature is decreased? Explain.
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:Decreases

Explanation:

Given

Volume is held constant that is it is a isochoric process.

We know that

PV=nRT

as n,V& R are constant therefore only variables are

P & T

so \frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}

\frac{P_1}{P_2}=\frac{T_1}{T_2}

As T_1 is decreasing therefore Pressure must also decrease so that ratio remains constant.

a 3520 kg truck moving north at 18.5 m/s makes an INELASTIC collision with an 1480 kg car moving east after colliding they have
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

An inelastic collision is one where 2 masses collide and stick together, moving as a single mass after the collision occurs. When we talk about this type of momentum conservation, the momentum is conserved always, but the kinetic momentum is not (the velocity changes when they collide). Because there is direction involved here, we use vector addition. The picture before the collision has the truck at a mass of 3520 kg moving north at a velocity of 18.5. The truck's momentum, then, is 3520(18.5) = 65100 kgm/s; coming at this truck is a car of mass 1480 kg traveling east at an unknown velocity. The car's momentum, then, is 1480v. The resulting vector (found when you pick up the car vector and stick the initial end of it to the terminal end of the truck's momentum vector) forms the hypotenuse of a right triangle where one leg is 65100 kgm/s, and the other leg is 1480v. Since we already know the final velocity of the 2 masses after the collision, we can use that to find the final momentum, which will serve as the resultant momentum vector in our equation (we'll get there in a sec). The final momentum of this collision is

p = mv and

p = (3520 + 1480)(13.6) so

p = 68000. Final momentum. The equation for this is a take-off of Pythagorean's Theorem and the one used to find the final magnitude of a resultant vector when you first began your vector math in physics. The equation is

p_f=\sqrt{(p_{truck})^2+(p_{car})^2} which, in words, is

the final momentum after the collision is equal to the square root of the truck's momentum squared plus the car's momentum squared. Filling in:

68000=\sqrt{(65100)^2+(1480v)^2} and

(68000)^2=(65100)^2+(1480v)^2 and

4624000000=4238010000+2190400v^2  and

385990000=2190400v^2 and

176.2189554=v^2 so

v = 13.3 m/s at 72.6°

Conductivity in a metal results from the metal atoms having
maks197457 [2]

Answer: A) highly mobile electrons in the valence shell

Explanation: conductivity in metals is a result of the movement of electrically charged particles—the electrons. These free electrons also known as valence electrons are free to move, and as a result they can travel through the lattice that forms the physical structure of a metal. The presence of valence electrons determines a metal's conductivity. However, several other factors can affect the conductivity of a metal such as impurities, temperature, magnetic fields etc.

A weather balloon is partially inflated with helium gas to a volume of 2.0 m³. The pressure was measured at 101 kPa and the temp
Yanka [14]

Answer:

4.7 m³

Explanation:

We'll use the gas law P1 • V1 / T1 = P2 • V2 / T2

* Givens :

P1 = 101 kPa , V1 = 2 m³ , T1 = 300.15 K , P2 = 40 kPa , T2 = 283.15 K

( We must always convert the temperature unit to Kelvin "K")

* What we want to find :

V2 = ?

* Solution :

101 × 2 / 300.15 = 40 × V2 / 283.15

V2 × 40 / 283.15 ≈ 0.67

V2 = 0.67 × 283.15 / 40

V2 ≈ 4.7 m³

A particular form of electromagnetic radiation has a frequency of 5.42x10^15 Hz. What is the wavelength is nanometers? meters?
zubka84 [21]
Electromagnetic radiation are represented in waves. Each type of wave has a certain shape and length. The distance between two peaks in a wave is called the wavelength. This value is equal to the speed of light divided by the frequency.
Wavelength = c/f
Wavelength = 3x10^8 / <span>5.42x10^15
</span><span>Wavelength = 5.54 x 10^-8 m = 55.35 nm</span>
