Answer:

b) Expansion

Explanation:

In science, matter can be defined as anything that has mass and occupies space. Any physical object that is found on earth is typically composed of matter. Matter are known to be made up of atoms and as a result has the property of existing in states.

Generally, matter exists in three (3) distinct or classical phases and these are; solid, liquid and gas.

A physical change can be defined as a type of change that involves an increase or decrease in the volume of a physical object (object). Also, this change can be reversed to the original state under certain conditions.

The increase in volume of matter that occurs when matter is heated causes an expansion.

This ultimately implies that, when a physical object (matter) is heated for a specific period of time, it result in an increase in the volume of the object; this phenomenon is generally referred to as expansion.

On the other hand, a decrease in volume of a physical object (matter) as a result of heat is known as contraction.

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

t = 4.08 s

R = 40.8 m

Explanation:

The question is asking us to solve for the time of flight and the range of the rock.

Let's start by finding the total time it takes for the rock to land on the ground. We can use this constant acceleration kinematic equation to solve for the displacement in the y-direction:

Δx = v_0 t + 1/2at²

We have these known variables:

(v_0)_y = 0 m/s
a_y = -9.8 m/s²
Δx_y = -20 m

And we are trying to solve for t (time). Therefore, we can plug these values into the equation and solve for t.

-20 = 0t + 1/2(-9.8)t²
-20 = 1/2(-9.8)t²
-20 = -4.9t²
t = 4.08 sec

The time it takes for the rock to reach the ground is 4.08 seconds.

Now we can use this time in order to solve for the displacement in the x-direction. We will be using the same equation, but this time it will be in terms of the x-direction.

List out known variables:

v_0 = 10 m/s
t = 4.08 s
a_x = 0 m/s

We are trying to solve for:

Δx_x = ?

By using the same equation, we can plug these known values into it and solve for Δx.

Δx = 10 * 4.08 + 1/2(0)(4.08)²
Δx = 10 * 4.08
Δx = 40.8 m

The rock lands 40.8 m from the base of the cliff.

An astronaut drops a rock from the top of a crater on the moon. When the rock is halfway down to the bottom of the crater, its s

Alexxx [7]

Answer: vf1/vf2= 1/ sqrt(2)

Explanation :on the moon no drag force so we have only the force of gravity. aceleration is g(moon)= 1.62m/s2.the rest is basic kinematics

if the rock travels H to the bottom we can calculate velocity:

vo=0m/s (drops the rock) , yo=0

vf*vf= vo*vo+2g(y-yo)

when the rock is halfway y = H/2 so:

vf1*vf1=2*g*H/2 so vf1 = sqrt(gH)

when the rock reach the bottom y=H so:

vf2*vf2=2*g*H so vf2 = sqrt(2gH)

so vf1/vf2= 1/ sqrt(2)

good luck from colombia

The membrane of a living cell can be approximated by a parallel-plate capacitor with plates of area 4.50×10−9 m2 , a plate separ

Marizza181 [45]

The energy stored in the membrane is $6.44\cdot 10^{-14} J$

Explanation:

The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor is given by

$C=\frac{k\epsilon_0 A}{d}$

where

k is the dielectric constant of the material

$\epsilon_0$ is the vacuum permittivity

A is the area of the plates

d is the separation between the plates

For the membrane in this problem, we have

k = 4.6

$A=4.50\cdot 10^{-9} m^2$

$d=8.1\cdot 10^{-9} m$

Substituting, we find its capacitance:

$C=\frac{(4.6)(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})(4.50\cdot 10^{-9})}{8.1\cdot 10^{-9}}=2.26\cdot 10^{-11} F$

Now we can find the energy stored: for a capacitor, it is given by

$U=\frac{1}{2}CV^2$

where

$C=2.26\cdot 10^{-11} F$ is the capacitance

$V=7.55\cdot 10^{-2} V$ is the potential difference

Substituting,

$U=\frac{1}{2}(2.26\cdot 10^{-11} F)(7.55\cdot 10^{-2})^2=6.44\cdot 10^{-14} J$

Vector A⃗ points in the negative y direction and has a magnitude of 5 km. Vector B⃗ has a magnitude of 15 km and points in the p

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

magnitude of A − B = 15.81 km

Explanation:

Vector A points in the negative y-direction and has a magnitude of 5 km. Vector B points in the positive x-direction and has a magnitude of 15 km.

According to Cartesian coordinate system, the resultant will start either from tail of A and ends at head of B and vice-versa.

A(0,-5)

B(15,0)

A - B = (-15 i - 5 j )

Magnitude of the vector is given by

|A - B| = $\sqrt{(-15)^{2}+(-5)^{2}}$

|A - B| = $\sqrt{250}$

|A - B| = 15.81 km
