Answer:

A star is an astronomical object consisting of a luminous spheroid of plasma held together by its own gravity. The nearest star to Earth is the Sun. Many other stars are visible to the naked eye at night, but due to their immense distance from Earth they appear as fixed points of light in the sky

Answer:

Diffusion is the movement of a molecule from an area where the molecule is in high concentration to an area where the molecule is in low concentration. Facilitated diffusion is the movement of a molecule from an area of high concentration to an area where the molecule is in low concentration. Osmosis is the diffusion (high to low concentration) of water through a semi-permeable membrane. Water moves from an area of high water molecule concentration (and lower solute concentration) to an area of low concentration (and higher solute concentration.

James is planning a science fair project on sound waves. He places an alarm inside a jar which he can remove the
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

this is simple, because when air is removed, means that there is no particles in the jar so vacuum is achieved, and when you can't hear a sound means that the sound couldn't travel through the vacuum. which means that sound cannot travel through vacuum,

as a result, sound requires a medium ( air) travel from one point to another.

hope it helps, if not please report it so that someone else gets to try it

A satellite orbits the earth at a speed of 8.0x 10^3m/s . Calculate the period of orbit of the satellite if the distance between
gladu [14]

Hi there!

The period of an orbit can be found by:

T = \frac{2\pi r}{v}

T = Period (? s)
r = radius of orbit (6400000 m)

v = speed of the satellite (8000 m/s)

This is the same as the distance = vt equation. The total distance traveled by the satellite is the circumference of its circular orbit.

Let's plug in what we know and solve.

T = \frac{2\pi (6400000)}{8000} = \boxed{5026.55 s}
