Answer:

yes

Explanation:

Water HEATS up and turns into steam. Steam is made from HEAT. Granite can be compromised by HEAT. Lead compounds can be good insulators.

Two planets have the same surface gravity, but planet b has twice the radius of planet
nevsk [136]
The formula for the acceleration due to gravity is:

a = Gm/r²
where
G is the universal gravitational constant = 6.6726 x 10⁻¹¹ N-m²/kg²
m is the mass of planet
r is the radius of planet

So, if they have the same a:

m₁/r₁² = m₂/r₂²
So, if m₁ = m and r₂ = 2r₁,
m/r₁² = m₂/(2r₁)²
m₂ = 4m

<em>Thus, the answer is D.</em>

Imagine that Kevin can instantly transport himself between Planet X and Planet Y. Which statement could be said about Kevin in t
Over [174]
What are the choices ? 

Without some directed choices, I'm, free to make up any
reasonable statement that could be said about Kevin in this
situation.  A few of them might be . . .

-- Kevin will have no trouble getting back in time for dinner.

-- Kevin will have no time to enjoy the scenery along the way.

-- Some simple Physics shows us that Kevin is out of his mind.
He can't really do that.

           -- Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance) .

If time to cover the distance is zero, then speed is huge (infinite).

           -- Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)² .

If speed is huge (infinite), then kinetic energy is huge squared (even more).
There is not enough energy in the galaxy to push Kevin to that kind of speed.

         -- Mass = (Kevin's rest-mass) / √(1 - v²/c²)

-- As soon as Kevin reaches light-speed, his mass becomes infinite.
-- It takes an infinite amount of energy to push him any faster.
-- If he succeeds somehow, his mass becomes imaginary.
-- At that point, he might as well turn around and go home ...
     if he ever reached Planet-Y, nobody could see him anyway.

hello friends,i need your help my home work now in physics,topic:motion.40 marks +brainliest if correct .​
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Vertical position is given by

df = do + vo t - 1/2 a t^2      df = final position = 0 (on the ground)

                                           do =original position = 2 m

                                            vo = original <u>VERTICAL</u> velocity = 0

                                            a = acceleration of gravity = 9.81 m/s^2

THIS BECOMES

0 = 2 + 0 * t  - 1/2 ( 9.81)t^2

  to show t =<u> .639 seconds to hit the ground </u>

During this .639 seconds it flies horizontally at 10 m/s for a distance of

      10 m/s * .639 s =<u> 6.39 m </u>

poizon [28]

Answer:

Here ball and rod will repel each other as they are of similar charges

Explanation:

As we know that the two charges attract or repel each other by electrostatic force

This force is given as

F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

so we know if two charges are similar in nature then they will repel each other and if the two charges are opposite in nature then they will attract each other

So here when rod touch the ball then it transfer its charge to the ball and due to similar charges in ball and rod they both repel each other
