Which statement is correct about waves?

The sun’s___and the planet’s___keeps planets moving is___orbits.

Sauron [17]

The sun’s gravitational attraction and the planet’s inertia keeps planets moving is circular orbits.

Explanation:

The planets in the Solar System move around the Sun in a circular orbit. This motion can be explained as a combination of two effects:

1) The gravitational attraction of the Sun. The Sun exerts a force of gravitational attraction on every planet. This force is directed towards the Sun, and its magnitude is

$F=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the Sun

m is the mass of the planet

r is the distance between the Sun and the planet

This force acts as centripetal force, continuously "pulling" the planet towards the centre of its circular orbit.

2) The inertia of the planet. In fact, according to Newton's first law, an object in motion at constant velocity will continue moving at its velocity, unless acted upon an external unbalanced force. Therefore, the planet tends to continue its motion in a straight line (tangential to the circular orbit), however it turns in a circle due to the presence of the gravitational attraction of the Sun.

Stairway must have uniform riser height and tread depth; variations in riser height or tread depth shall not be over _______ inc

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

$\frac{3}{8} inches$

Explanation:

the variations in riser height or tread depth should not be grater than $\frac{3}{8} inches$ that is equal to 9.5 mm but the maximum riser height should be the $\frac{81}{4} inch$ but variation in riser height should not exceed to $\frac{3}{8} inches$ . The minimum riser height should be 7 inches which is equal to the 178 mm

A carbon resistor is to be used as a thermometer. On a winter day when the temperature is 4.00°C, the resistance of the carbon r

dusya [7]

Answer:

28 degree C

Explanation:

We are given that

$T_1=4.00^{\circ}$

$R_1=217.7 \Ohm$

$R_2=215.1\Ohm$

$\alpha=-5.00\times 10^{-4}C^{-1}$

We have to find the temperature on a spring day when resistance is 215.1 ohm.

We know that

$\alpha(T_2-T_1)=\frac{R_2}{R_2}-1$

Using the formula

$-5.00\times 10^{-4}(T_2-4)=\frac{215.1}{217.7}-1$

$-5\times 10^{-4}(T_2-4)=0.988-1=-0.012$

$T_2-4=\frac{0.012}{5\times 10^{-4}}=24$

$T_2=24+4=28^{\circ}C$

Hence, the temperature on a spring day 28 degree C.

1.3 kg of water, at an initial temperature of 25oC, is heated at a rate of 100 W in a well-insulated container. How much time (i

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

68.25 minutes.

Explanation:

Power = Energy/time or

Power = Heat/time

P = Q/t....................... Equation 1

Q = Pt ........................ Equation 2

Where Q = quantity of heat, P = power, t = time.

Also,

Q = cm(t₂-t₁) ................. Equation 3

Where c = specific heat capacity of water, m = mass of water, t₁ = initial temperature of water, t₂ = final temperature of water.

substitute equation 2 into equation 3

Pt = cm(t₂-t₁) ............... Equation 4

make t the subject of the equation

t = cm(t₂-t₁)/P................ Equation 5

Given: P = 100 W, m = 1.3 kg, t₁ = 25 °C, t₂ = 100 °C.

Constant: 4200 J/kg.K

Substitute into equation 5

t = 1.3(4200)(100-25)/100

t = 409500/100

t = 4095 seconds

t = (4095/60) minutes = 68.25 minutes.

Hence the time it will take the water to reach boiling point = 68.25 minutes

sedimentary rocks are formed due to the …..1-cooling of magna2 weathering of rocks 3 changes in pressure4 changes in temperature

Korolek [52]

Answer:

2

Explanation:

Sedimentary rocks are formed when sediment is deposited out of air, ice, wind, gravity, or water flows carrying the particles in suspension. This sediment is often formed when weathering and erosion break down a rock into loose material in a source area.
