Answer:

a. a black hole

Explanation:

X-ray emission from the central degrees of the Milky Way Bright X-ray emission traces the coherent edge brightened shell-like feature, dubbed the northern chimney, located north of Sgr A* and characterized by a diameter of about 160 pc. On the opposite side, the southern chimney appears as a bright linear feature. Bright X-ray emission is observed at high latitude

Convection currents produce the heat in the Earth’s interior.
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Convection currents do not produce heat. In fact, convection current are a method of transfer of heat, not of production. Convection occurs when there is a fluid which is heated from bottom, from an external source of heat (such as a pot of boiling water over a flame): the bottom part of the fluid becomes warmer, and so less dense than the colder part, therefore it starts moving up, and it is replaced by the colder parts of the fluid, which go down. Later, these colder parts become warmer, so they start going up, being replaced by new colder parts, etc... in a cycle. This is known as convection current, but it requires an external source of heat, it does not produce heat by itself.

Answer:

the pressure due to the water on the diver is 200,000 pascal

pressure = height × density × acceleration due to gravity

p = 20×1000×10

p=200,000 pascal

The first car has twice the mass of a second car, but only half as much kinetic energy. When both cars increase their speed by 9
kirill [66]

Answer:

Speed of the car 1 =V_1=8.98m/s

Speed of the car 2 =V_2=17.96m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the car 1 , M₁ = Twice the mass of car 2(M₂)

mathematically,

M₁ = 2M₂

Kinetic Energy of the car 1 = Half the kinetic energy of the car 2

KE₁ = 0.5 KE₂

Now, the kinetic energy for a body is given as

KE =\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where,

m = mass of the body

v = velocity of the body

thus,

\frac{1}{2}M_1V_1^2=0.5\times \frac{1}{2}M_2V_2^2

or

\frac{1}{2}2M_2V_1^2=0.5\times \frac{1}{2}M_2V_2^2

or

2M_2V_1^2=0.5\times M_2V_2^2

or

2V_1^2=0.5\times V_2^2

or

4V_1^2= V_2^2

or

2V_1= V_2  .................(1)

also,

\frac{1}{2}M_1(V_1+9.0)^2=\frac{1}{2}M_2(V_2+9.0)^2

or

\frac{1}{2}2M_2(V_1+9.0)^2=\frac{1}{2}M_2(2V_1+9.0)^2

or

2(V_1+9.0)^2=(2V_1+9.0)^2

or

\sqrt{2}(V_1+9.0)=(2V_1+9.0)

or

(\sqrt{2}V_1+ \sqrt{2}\times 9.0)=(2V_1+9.0)

or

(\sqrt{2}V_1+ 12.72)=(2V_1+9.0)

or

(2V_1-\sqrt{2}V_1)=(12.72-9.0)

or

(0.404V_1)=(3.72)

or

V_1=8.98m/s

and, from equation (1)

V_2=2\times 8.98m/s = 17.96m/s

Hence,

Speed of car 1 =V_1=8.98m/s

Speed of car 2 =V_2=17.96m/s
