Answer: 5.4 N

Explanation:

Given

mass of rock in the air  is 540 g

Apparent mass of 342 gm when submerged in water

Weight of the rock is the product of mass and accleration due to gravity

\Rightarrow W=mg\\\Rightarrow 0.540\times 10=5.4\ N

Two students who live on planet X. They want to estimate the circumference. The two students synchronize their watches before on
dexar [7]

Answer:

72000 miles

Explanation:

If the distance between the students is 600 miles, and this implies in a 3 degree difference in the sun position, that means this 600 miles is related to 3 degrees of the circunference of the planet.

So, to find the whole circunference of the planet, that is, 360 degrees, we just need to use a rule of three:

3 degrees -> 600 miles

360 degrees -> x miles

3x = 600 * 360

x = 600 * 360 / 3 = 72000 miles

The pressure exerted by a gas on its container is directly proportional to ________.
atroni [7]
<span>The pressure exerted by a gas on its container is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.

This result is known as "Gay-Lussac law", which states that for an ideal gas with fixed volume (like the gas in the container), the ratio between pressure and absolute temperature of the gas is constant:
</span>\frac{p}{T}=k
<span>where p is the pressure of the gas and T its absolute temperature.</span>

Astronomers have no theoretical explanation for the ""hot Jupiters"" observed orbiting some other stars. (T/F)
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Astronomers have no theoretical explanation for the ""hot Jupiters"" observed orbiting some other stars.

False

Explanation:

The “hot Jupiters” joint word startes to be used to be able to describe planets like 51 Pegasi b, a planet with a 10-day-or-less orbit and a mass 25% or greater than Jupitere, circling a sun-like star planet in 1995, which was found by astronomers Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz, who were awarded the 2019 Nobel Prize for Physics along with the cosmologist James Peebles for their “contributions to our understanding of the evolution of the universe and Earth’s place in the cosmos.”

Now  we know a total of 4,000-plus exoplanets, but only a few more than 400 meet the definition of the enigmatic hot Jupiters which, tell us a lot about how planetary systems form, and what kinds of conditions cause extreme results.

In a 2018 paper in the Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, astronomers Rebekah Dawson of the Pennsylvania State University and John Asher Johnson of Harvard University reviewed on how hot Jupiters might have formed, and would be the meaning for the rest of the planets in the galaxy.

A car starts from rest with an acceleration of 5 ft/s. What is its velocity after it has gone 600 ft?
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

First, let’s correct the question. Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity. Its unit therefore is ft/sec/sec. If S is the distance traveled for a given duration, S = Vot + (1/2)at^2 where Vo is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time. For Vo = 0, a = 6m/sec/sec and t = 3 sec. The distance traveled is S = 0 + (1/2) x 6 x 3^2 = 27 meters
