The correct answer should be c.The kinetic energy of the water molecules decreases.
If the temperature drops that means that the molecules are coming together. If the temperature rises then it means that the molecules are spreading. If the kinetic energy falls down that means that they are slower which means that they are cooler.
Off the top of my head, I only know 9 and 11, so I'll answer those two.
9) A heterotroph is an organism that relies on other organisms for food/energy
An autotroph can produce its own food from inorganic compounds (light)
11) Vascular plants have specialized tubes for transporting nutrients
Nonvascular plants do not have such tubes and are simpler
Answer:
The units of the orbital period P is <em>years </em> and the units of the semimajor axis a is <em>astronomical units</em>.
Explanation:
P² = a³ is the simplified version of Kepler's third law which governs the orbital motion of large bodies that orbit around a star. The orbit of each planet is an ellipse with the star at the focal point.
Therefore, if you square the year of each planet and divide it by the distance that it is from the star, you will get the same number for all the other planets.
Thus, the units of the orbital period P is <em>years </em> and the units of the semimajor axis a is <em>astronomical units</em>.
Answer:
The puck moves a vertical height of 2.6 cm before stopping
Explanation:
As the puck is accelerated by the spring, the kinetic energy of the puck equals the elastic potential energy of the spring.
So, 1/2mv² = 1/2kx² where m = mass of puck = 39.2 g = 0.0392 g, v = velocity of puck, k = spring constant = 59 N/m and x = compression of spring = 1.3 cm = 0.013 cm.
Now, since the puck has an initial velocity, v before it slides up the inclined surface, its loss in kinetic energy equals its gain in potential energy before it stops. So
1/2mv² = mgh where h = vertical height puck moves and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s².
Substituting the kinetic energy of the puck for the potential energy of the spring, we have
1/2kx² = mgh
h = kx²/2mg
= 59 N/m × (0.013 m)²/(0.0392 kg × 9.8 m/s²)
= 0.009971 Nm/0.38416 N
= 0.0259 m
= 2.59 cm
≅ 2.6 cm
So the puck moves a vertical height of 2.6 cm before stopping
