1. In this activity, you will be looking for a relationship between the mass of the cart and the acceleration of the cart.

What mechanism is most responsible for generating the internal heat of Io that drives its volcanic activity?

Ghella [55]

Answer:

Tidal heating

Explanation:

Tidal force is the ability of a massive body to produce tides on another body. The tidal force depends on the mass of the body that produces the tides and the distance between the two bodies.

Tidal forces can cause the destruction of a satellite that orbits a planet or a comet that is too close to the Sun or a planet. When the orbiting body crosses the "Roche boundary", the tidal forces along the body are more intense than the cohesion forces that hold the body together.

Tidal friction is the force between the Earth's oceans and ocean floors caused by the gravitational attraction of the Moon. The Earth tries to transport the waters of the oceans with it, while the Moon tries to keep them under it and on the opposite side of the Earth. In the long term, tidal friction causes the Earth's rotation speed to decrease, thus shortening the day. In turn, the Moon increases its angular momentum and gradually spirals away from Earth. Finally, when the day equals the orbital period of the Moon (which will be about 40 times the length of the current day), the process will cease. Subsequently, a new process will begin when the power to raise tides from the Sun takes angular momentum from the Earth-Moon system. The Moon will then spiral towards Earth until it is destroyed when it enters the "Roche boundary."

<u>Tidal heating </u>

It is the warming caused by the tidal action on a planet or satellite. The most important example of tidal heating in the Solar System is the effect of Jupiter on its Io satellite, in which the tidal effects produce such high temperatures that the interior of the satellite melts, producing volcanism.

An object is moving along a straight line, and the uncertainty in its position is 1.90 m.

just olya [345]

Answer:

$2.78\times 10^{-35}\ \text{kg m/s}$

$6.178\times 10^{-34}\ \text{m/s}$

$0.31\times 10^{-4}\ \text{m/s}$

Explanation:

$\Delta x$ = Uncertainty in position = 1.9 m

$\Delta p$ = Uncertainty in momentum

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\times 10^{-34}\ \text{Js}$

m = Mass of object

From Heisenberg's uncertainty principle we know

$\Delta x\Delta p\geq \dfrac{h}{4\pi}\\\Rightarrow \Delta p\geq \dfrac{h}{4\pi\Delta x}\\\Rightarrow \Delta p\geq \dfrac{6.626\times 10^{-34}}{4\pi\times 1.9}\\\Rightarrow \Delta p\geq 2.78\times 10^{-35}\ \text{kg m/s}$

The minimum uncertainty in the momentum of the object is $2.78\times 10^{-35}\ \text{kg m/s}$

Golf ball minimum uncertainty in the momentum of the object

$m=0.045\ \text{kg}$

Uncertainty in velocity is given by

$\Delta p\geq m\Delta v\geq 2.78\times 10^{-35}\\\Rightarrow \Delta v\geq \dfrac{2.78\times 10^{-35}}{m}\\\Rightarrow \Delta v\geq \dfrac{2.78\times 10^{-35}}{0.045}\\\Rightarrow \Delta v\geq 6.178\times 10^{-34}\ \text{m/s}$

The minimum uncertainty in the object's velocity is $6.178\times 10^{-34}\ \text{m/s}$

Electron

$m=9.11\times 10^{-31}\ \text{kg}$

$\Delta v\geq \dfrac{\Delta p}{m}\\\Rightarrow \Delta v\geq \dfrac{2.78\times 10^{-35}}{9.11\times 10^{-31}}\\\Rightarrow \Delta v\geq 0.31\times 10^{-4}\ \text{m/s}$

The minimum uncertainty in the object's velocity is $0.31\times 10^{-4}\ \text{m/s}$ .

Why is evolution called a scientific theory?

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Evolution is both a fact and a theory. Evolution is widely observable in laboratory and natural populations as they change over time. The fact that we need annual flu vaccines is one example of observable evolution. At the same time, evolutionary theory explains more than observations, as the succession on the fossil record. Hence, evolution is also the scientific theory that embodies biology, including all organisms and their characteristics. In this paper, we emphasize why evolution is the most important theory in biology. Evolution explains every biological detail, similar to how history explains many aspects of a current political situation. Only evolution explains the patterns observed in the fossil record. Examples include the succession in the fossil record; we cannot find the easily fossilized mammals before 300 million years ago; after the extinction of the dinosaurs, the fossil record indicates that mammals and birds radiated throughout the planet. Additionally, the fact that we are able to construct fairly consistent phylogenetic trees using distinct genetic markers in the genome is only explained by evolutionary theory. Finally, we show that the processes that drive evolution, both on short and long time scales, are observable facts.
