Answer:

1788.402 MJ

Explanation:

Work done = Force (N) x distance (m)

First we have to convert distance into metres:

173.8 x 1000 = 173,800 m

Then plug these values into the equation above:

173,800 x 10290 = 1788402000 J

The reason it's Joules (the unit for energy) is because work done = energy transferred

Now we have to convert Joules into Mega Joules:

1 J = 1/1000000 MJ

1788402000 J = 1788402000/ 1000000 = 1788.402 MJ

What’s The Answer, To The Question In The Photo
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is the third option: The kinetic energy of the water molecules decreases.

Explanation:

Temperature is, in depth, a statistical value; kind of an average of the particles movement in any physical system (such as a glass filled with water). Kinetic energy, for sure, is the energy resulting from movement (technically depending on mass and velocity of a system; in other words, the faster something moves, the greater its kinetic energy.

Since temperature is related to the total average random movement in a system, and so is the kinetic energy (related to movement through velocity), as the thermometer measures <u>less temperature</u>, that would mean that the particles (in this case: water particles) are <u>moving slowly</u>, so that: the slower something moves, the lower its kinetic energy.

<u>In summary:</u> temperature tells about how fast are moving and colliding the particles within a system, and since it is <em>directly proportional</em> to the amount of movement, it can be related (also <em>directly proportional</em>) to the kinectic energy.

How does sound intensity differ from loudness?
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Sound intensity is the amount of energy carried by sound versus loudness is a subjective measurement of the audible sound.

Sound intensity is measured in watt per square meter where loudness is measured in sones (sone is a subjective measurement and not an SI unit)

A motorist inflates the tires of her car to a pressure of 180 kPa on a day when the temperature is -8.0° C. When she arrives at
GuDViN [60]

Apply Gay-Lussac's law:

P/T = const.

P = pressure, T = temperature, the quotient of P/T must stay constant.

Initial P and T values:

P = 180kPa, T = -8.0°C = 265.15K

Final P and T values:

P = 245kPa, T = ?

Set the initial and final P/T values equal to each other and solve for the final T:

180/265.15 = 245/T

T = 361K

What type of evidence is needed for a hypothesis to be supported or not supported?
NISA [10]

Answer:

Hypotheses must be testable, and once tested, they can be supported by evidence. If a statement is made that cannot be tested and disproved, then it is not a hypothesis.

a positively charged ion, due to a cosmic ray, is headed through earth's atmosphere toward the center of Earth. Due to Earth's m
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

East direction

Explanation:

Given that

Charge on the particle is positive.

Moving towards the center of earth .

We know that N(north ) pole in magnetic fields work as source of magnetic lines and S(South ) pole works and sink for magnetic lines.

Therefore due to the earth magnetic fields , the positive ions will deflect  towards  East direction.

Thus the answer will be East direction.
