6. Gravity formed the planets -True -False

It’s true because gravity is what pulled the dust and minerals and formed them into plants and dwarf planets.

True

Explanation:

When the dust cloud collapsed, it formed a solar nebula—a spinning, swirling disk of material. At the center, gravity pulled more and more material in. Some of them grew big enough for their gravity to shape them into spheres, becoming planets, dwarf planets and large moons.

What waves need molecules in order to transfer energy
nevsk [136]

Answer:

Mechanical waves

Explanation:

Waves are periodic oscillations, that carry energy, but not matter.

Waves are classified into two types:

- Mechanical waves: these waves are produced by the oscillations of the particles in a medium, which can oscillate along the  direction of propagation of the wave (longitudinal wave) or perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave (transverse wave). These waves can only propagate in a medium, so they cannot travel in a vacuum. Examples of mechanical waves are sound waves.

- Electromagnetic waves: these waves are produced by the oscillations of electric and magnetic field. They are transverse waves. They are the only type of wave able to propagate through a vacuum (so, through space).

Therefore, the waves that need molecules in order to transfer energy are mechanical waves.

A snowboarder starts from rest on an inclined planar snow surface and gives herself a tiny push to start sliding down the hill.
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

v = 26.52 m/s

Explanation:

Here we know that as she passes the flag she will gain some speed

so here we can say that

Work done by all forces = change in kinetic energy of the system

so we will have

W_g + W_f = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 - \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2

here we know that

W_g = mgh

W_f = -\mu mg d

v_i = 0

h = 39.78 m

d = 27.81 m

so we have

mgh - \mu mg d = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 - 0

(9.8)(39.78 - (0.14)(27.81)) = \frac{1}{2} v^2

v = 26.52 m/s

What are the different advantages of a) the series vs. b) the parallel circuits? The resistors could be replaced with lightbulbs
Molodets [167]

Answer:

In parallel circuits all components have the same voltage. In series circuits all components have the same current.

Explanation:

Voltage in a circuit is akin to pressure in water, while current is akin to flow in water.

Voltage and current are related to resistance by Ohm's law:

V = R*I

Where:

V: voltage

I: current

R: resistance

In a parallel circuit all the terminals of one side of the devices are connected together. This is known as a node. Nodes have a certain voltage. Devices connected in parallel will have one node on each side, and each node will have it's own voltage. Current will flow through each component independently depending on their resistance, so it is not the same for all of them.

In a series circuit components are connected one after the other, the current that flows through one must continue and flow through the next, so they all have the same current. But since they might have different resistances they might have different voltage differences between their terminals.

Parallel connection is useful when you have devices that require a specific voltage, such as household appliances. All wall power outlets are connected in parallel.

Series connection is useful when you want to control current. When you use a LED you must be careful not to apply an overcurrent, so a series resistor is commonly used to limit the current.
