IrinaK [193]3 years ago

Answer:

Zero gravity

Explanation:

Astronauts around the earth either in spaceship, a space station or on a space walk appear to be weightless because of the zero gravity in such environment.

Weight is a function of the mass and acceleration due to gravity a body has.

   Weight  = mass  x  acceleration due to gravity

In a place where acceleration due to gravity is 0, the weight would be zero and a person would appear to be weightless.

2. The water is then heated to its boiling point. Calculate the specific latent heat of
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

2465 J/g

Explanation:

The amount of energy required to boil a sample of water already at boiling point is given by

Q=m\lambda_v

where

m is the mass of the water sample

\lambda_v is the specific latent heat of vaporization of water

In this problem, we know

Q=813,600 J

m = 330 g

Solving the equation for \lambda_v, we find

\lambda_v = \frac{Q}{m}=\frac{813600}{330}=2465 J/g

Describe the contributions of Mathieu Orfila and Robert Christison to the field of toxicology
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

They developed a test for poisons in the human tissues

Explanation:

Around the 19th century, Mathieu Orfila and Robert Christison developed important tests that identified poisons in human tissues.

By so doing, they laid the foundation for what is now called forensic toxicology. This science attempts to identify poisons in human tissues especially by way of autopsies and forensic investigation.

Today forensic toxicology has expanded to include alcohol testing techniques as well as testing athletes for intake of performance enhancing substances.

The fusion of deuterium and hydrogen is shown in the equation. fill in the missing number.
stellarik [79]

Answer:

= 2

Explanation:

During nuclear fusion, two lighter nuclei of elements combine to form heavy nucleus and also energy is released;

During the process of hydrogen fusion a nucleus of deuterium is formed from two protons with emission of a neutrino.

In this case deuterium fuses with hydrogen nuclei to form helium-3 and also release energy.

That is;

2/1 H + 1/1 H = 3/1 He + energy

Why do we have thunder storms
Over [174]
Thunderstorms happen when cold air sinks and hot air rises in rapid succession. There has to be an unstable body of hot air for a thunderstorm to happen. Cool air mingles with the hot air causing condensation (that means that raindrops form) This makes a cumulous cloud.
The moisture in the cloud is either positively charged or negatively charged. Negatively charged particles sink to the bottom of the cumulous cloud while positively charges particles rise. The positive and negative charges rub together and spark causing lightning.
Thunder is formed by the lightning, a bolt of lightning is hollow, and has no air inside it. When the lightning dissipates the air rushes to fill the space breaking the sound barrier in the process, this creates the boom.

A toy rocket launcher can project a toy rocket at a speed as high as 35.0 m/s.
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

(a) 62.5 m

(b) 7.14 s

Explanation:

initial speed, u = 35 m/s

g = 9.8 m/s^2

(a) Let the rocket raises upto height h and at maximum height the speed is zero.

Use third equation of motion

v^{2}=u^{2}+2as

0^{2}=35^{2}- 2 \times 9.8 \times h

h = 62.5 m

Thus, the rocket goes upto a height of 62.5 m.

(b) Let the rocket takes time t to reach to maximum height.

By use of first equation of motion

v = u + at

0 = 35 - 9.8 t

t = 3.57 s

The total time spent by the rocket in air = 2 t = 2 x 3.57 = 7.14 second.
