Which of the following statements best describes the second law of
Serga [27]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Heat flows from hot to cold to lower the temperature of hot areas and increase temperature of cold areas. The end result is that the 2 areas have the same temperature, thus increasing entropy.

You are standing at the top of a cliff that has a stairstep configuration. There is a vertical drop of 7 m at your feet, then a
Zolol [24]

Answer:

1. v = 6.67 m/s

2. d = 9.54 m

Explanation:

1. To find the horizontal velocity of the rock we need to use the following equation:

d = v*t \rightarrow v = \frac{d}{t}    

<u>Where</u>:

d: is the distance traveled by the rock

t: is the time

The time can be calculated as follows:

t = \sqrt{\frac{2d}{g}}

<u>Where:</u>

g: is gravity = 9.8 m/s²

t = \sqrt{\frac{2d}{g}} = \sqrt{\frac{2*7 m}{9.8 m/s^{2}}} = 1.20 s

Now, the horizontal velocity of the rock is:

v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{8 m}{1.20 s} = 6.67 m/s      

Hence, the initial velocity required to barely reach the edge of the shell below you is 6.67 m/s.          

2. To calculate the distance at which the projectile will land, first, we need to find the time:

t = \sqrt{\frac{2d}{g}} = \sqrt{\frac{2*(7 m + 3 m)}{9.8 m/s^{2}}} = 1.43 s

So, the distance is:

d = v*t = 6.67 m/s*1.43 s = 9.54 m    

Therefore, the projectile will land at 9.54 m of the second cliff.

I hope it helps you!

wel

Answer:

very small solid particles called interstellar dust.

Explanation:

In the space between the stars there is gas and dust, which represent at least 20% of the mass of our galaxy. In the Milky Way it is considered that there is a gas density of approximately 0.2 to 0.5 atoms / cm3 in the surroundings of the Sun; with respect to the dust an average of 1 g / cm3 is estimated.

Gas is about atoms and molecules, mainly hydrogen; In order of abundance, helium, carbon, oxygen, nitrogen and iron follow. On the other hand, the dust is tiny particles, generally smaller than 10 microns; the dust does not shine and therefore it is only distinguished when it is projected on bright regions (nebulae or clusters).

Interstellar matter is mainly concentrated towards the plane of the galaxy, in the strip corresponding to the Milky Way; there you can see bright nebulas of diffuse character called nebulas. These nebulae are classified according to three types: (a) bright or emission nebulae, (b) reflection nebulae and (c) planetary nebulae.

Hydrogen appears both ionized and neutral; The bright nebulae are composed of ionized hydrogen and other ionized elements. Non-ionized (neutral) hydrogen is found in the spiral arms of the Milky Way and can be detected through radio waves.
