pishuonlain [190]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

Mercury is the closest planet to the sum, but its mean temperature is only 67°C. This is because Mercury has almost no atmosphere to hold in heat and keep the surface warm.

Hope it will help :)❤

Which of the following statements incorrectly describes a scenario where the source of the sound waves and the person hearing th
iris [78.8K]
The answer to this question is C.  The reason why this is an incorrect statement is that the Doppler effect takes into account two moving objects.  In this scenario, both the source and the listener are stationary to the frequency of the sound waves will not change due to the Doppler effect.  For the other answers, the frequency of sound waves is not affected by nature of the medium.  The distance between a sound source and listener does not alter the frequency of the sound wave.  The frequency of the sounds waves remains the same to the listener.

Define the following:
belka [17]
Define the following:
Potential energy: In physics, potential energy is the energy held by an object because of its position relative to other objects, stresses within itself, its electric charge, or other factors.
Kinetic energy: In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes.
Mechanical energy:
Chemical energy: chemical energy, Energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds. Chemical energy may be released during a chemical reaction, often in the form of heat; such reactions are called exothermic. Reactions that require an input of heat to proceed may store some of that energy as chemical energy in newly formed bonds
Sound energy: In physics, sound energy is a form of energy that can be heard by living things. Only those waves that have a frequency of 16 Hz to 20 kHz are audible to humans. However, this range is an average and will slightly change from individual to individual.
Light energy: Light energy is a kind of kinetic energy with the ability to make types of light visible to human eyes. Light is defined as a form of electromagnetic radiation emitted by hot objects like lasers, bulbs, and the sun. Light contains photons which are minute packets of energy.
Nuclear energy: Nuclear power is the use of nuclear reactions to produce electricity. Nuclear power can be obtained from nuclear fission, nuclear decay and nuclear fusion reactions. Presently, the vast majority of electricity from nuclear power is produced by nuclear fission of uranium and plutonium in nuclear power plants

An 8 g bullet leaves the muzzle of a rifle with
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer: 1872 N

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by using one of the Kinematics equations and Newton's second law of motion:

V^{2}=V_{o}^{2} + 2ad (1)

F=ma (2)

Where:

V=611.9 m/s is the bullet's final speed (when it leaves the muzzle)

V_{o}=0 is the bullet's initial speed (at rest)

a is the bullet's acceleration

d=0.8 m is the distance traveled by the bullet before leaving the muzzle

F is the force

m=8 g \frac{1 kg}{1000 g}=0.008 kg is the mass of the bullet

Knowing this, let's begin by isolating a from (1):

a=\frac{V^{2}}{2d} (3)

a=\frac{(611.9 m/s)^{2}}{2(0.8 m)} (4)

a=234013.5063 m/s^{2} \approx 2.34(10)^{5} m/s^{2} (5)

Substituting (5) in (2):

F=(0.008 kg)(2.34(10)^{5} m/s^{2}) (6)

Finally:

F=1872 N
