Answer: The correct option is D.

Explanation:

Thermal energy is the internal energy of the object due to the motion of the particles.

The kinetic energy is due to the motion of the particles. If the system has kinetic energy then it will have thermal energy.

When the object's atoms move faster then the thermal energy increases.

Therefore, the correct answer is thermal energy.

Saturn moves in an orbit around the Sun with radius 10 AU. How many degrees does it move on the Celestial in one year? (Hint: Ca

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

B. About 12 degrees

Explanation:

The orbital period is calculated using the following expression:

T = 2π*( $\sqrt{\frac{r^3}{Gm}}$ )

Where r is the distance of the planet to the sun, G is the gravitational constant and m is the mass of the sun.

Now, we don't actually need to solve the values of the constants, since we now that the distance from the sun to Saturn is 10 times the distance from the sun to the earth. We now this because 1 AU is the distance from the earth to the sun.

Now, we divide the expression used to calculate the orbital period of Saturn by the expression used to calculate the orbital period of the earth. Notice that the constants will cancel and we will get the rate of orbital periods in terms of the distances to the sun:

$\frac{Tsaturn}{Tearth}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{rSaturn^3}{rEarth^3} } = \sqrt{10^3}}$

Knowing that the orbital period of the earth is 1 year, the orbital period of Saturn will be $\sqrt{10^3}}$ years, or 31.62 years.

We find the amount of degrees it moves in 1 year:

$1year * \frac{360degrees}{31.62years} = 11.38 degrees$

or about 12 degrees.

In 2-3 complete sentences, explain the relationship between speed, frequency, and wavelength.

Ahat [919]

The relationship of the speed of sound, its frequency, and wavelength is the same as for all waves: vw = fλ, where vw is the speed of sound, f is its frequency, and λ is its wavelength. ... The frequency is the same as that of the source and is the number of waves that pass a point per unit time.

Which example has the least kinetic energy

Stells [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let’s calculate the kinetic energy for all of the choices.

a. (1/2)(100)(100)^2 = 50(10000)=500,000

b. (1/2)(100)(1)^2 = 50

c. (1/2)(10)(100)^2 = 5(10000) = 50,000

d. (1/2)(1)(1)^2 = 0.5

We can see that (d) has the least kinetic energy.
