Explanation:

In liquids the particles have more energy. This allows the particles in liquids to roll past each other, but they are still tightly packed. Gases can be compressed because the particles can be forced closer together. The particles in a liquid are already as close as they can be.

Angelina jumps off a stool. As she is falling, the Earth’s gravitational force on her is larger in magnitude than the gravitatio

valentinak56 [21]

The answer is True. The amount force exerted by any object is directly proportional to its mass. This means that our planet is exerting more gravitational force to Angelina, and Angelina is also exerting a gravitational force on our planet directly proportional to her mass. Angelina is actually falling towards the center of the earth,and also our planet is also moving towards Angelina, but it seems negligible with respect to Angelina.Our Sun is so massive that it held our planet in its orbit because of its gravitational force.

A geosynchronous Earth satellite is one that has an orbital period of precisely 1 day. Such orbits are useful for communication

koban [17]

Answer:

r = 4.24x10⁴ km.

Explanation:

To find the radius of such an orbit we need to use Kepler's third law:

$\frac{T_{1}^{2}}{T_{2}^{2}} = \frac{r_{1}^{3}}{r_{2}^{3}}$

where T₁: is the orbital period of the geosynchronous Earth satellite = 1 d, T₂: is the orbital period of the moon = 0.07481 y, r₁: is the radius of such an orbit and r₂: is the orbital radius of the moon = 3.84x10⁵ km.

From equation (1), r₁ is:

$r_{1} = r_{2} \sqrt[3] {(\frac{T_{1}}{T_{2}})^{2}}$

$r_{1} = 3.84\cdot 10^{5} km \sqrt[3] {(\frac{1 d}{0.07481 y \cdot \frac{365 d}{1 y}})^{2}}$

$r_{1} = 4.24 \cdot 10^{4} km$

Therefore, the radius of such an orbit is 4.24x10⁴ km.

I hope it helps you!

Select Light for the type of wave, adjust the wavelength so that the light is red, and increase the amplitude of the light to th

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

here as we increase the distance the intensity will decrease and hence the amplitude of the electric field will decrease and vice-versa

Explanation:

As wee know that the amplitude of the wave will decide the energy of the wave

Here we know that energy density of electromagnetic wave is given as

$u = \frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0E_0^2$

now we have

$\frac{I}{c} = \frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0 E_0^2$

so here we can say that intensity of the wave at the given distance from the source is given by formula

$I = \frac{P}{4\pi r^2}$

so here as we increase the distance the intensity will decrease and hence the amplitude of the electric field will decrease and vice-versa.

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

Following are the solution to the given question:

Explanation:

Its best approach to this measurement ought to be to indicate that there was a mistake throughout the calculation, as well as the gathering of further details while researching cells for bacteria, directly measuring the cell length of a colony. This chart illustrates its data, which scientists have observed that there's still a measurement.

A carpenter lifts a 10-kg piece of wood to his shoulder 1.5 m above the ground. He then sets the wood on his truck at 1.0 m abov

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

500Joules

Explanation:

Kinetic energy = 1/2mv²

m is the mass of the wood

v is the velocity

Given

Mass = 10kg

Velocity v = 10m/s

Substitute into the formula and get KE

KE = 1/2 * 10 * 10²

KE = 1/2 * 1000

KE = 500Joules

Hence the kinetic energy of the wood during delivery is 500Joules
