A chemical reaction takes place within a test tube. After the reaction, the test tube feels warmer than it did before the reacti

jarptica [38.1K]

The correct answer is exothermic. An exothermic reaction is a reaction that releases heat, and therefore it transfers heat to the surroundings (in this case, the tube), making it warmer. Instead, in an endothermic reaction, the heat is absorbed by the reaction.

A person with a mass of 15kg is walking uphill at a velocity of2m/s. What is the walker's momentum?

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

30 kgm/s

Explanation:

The momentum of a body is given by the product of mass and its velocity.

∴ momentum = mv

= 15 × 2

= 30 kgm/s

State newton's universal law of gravitation

Lorico [155]

Every particle of mass is attracted to every other particle of mass. The magnitude of the force between two objects is proportional to the product of their masses, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The direction of the force is along the line between their centers.

(NOTE: Newton's 3rd law of motion tells us that gravitational forces always come in pairs. Between two objects, there are two forces ... one in each direction. Their strengths are equal ... Your weight on Earth is exactly equal to the Earth's weight on YOU.)

The primary reason professional observatories are built on the highest mountaintops is to (a) get away from city lights; (b) be

EastWind [94]

Answer:

Explanation:

Observatories are the locations used to study the celestial events, climate, astronomy etc. As the observations are made with the radio and visible light of the electromagnetic radiations. So in order to have the clear view, observatories are made at higher places far from population, in the dark areas having clear air, where they can clearly observe the sky. Atmospheric blurring is caused by the atmospheric turbulence. That cause the light coming from the stars to get slightly refracted thus effecting the results of the telescopes. In order to overcome it observatories are made at specific places like on the highest mountaintops.
