Answer:

The temperature of the Earth depends on many factors, including the concentration of greenhouse gases such as water vapour, methane and carbon dioxide. The Earth's temperature also depends on the rates at which light radiation and infrared radiation are: absorbed by the Earth's surface and atmosphere.

A cue ball has a mass of 0.5 kg. During a game of pool, the cue ball is struck and now has a velocity of 3 . When it strikes a s
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer: 3 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the law of conservation of momentum: during the collision between the two balls, the total momentum of the system before the collision and after the collision must be conserved:

p_i = p_f

The total momentum before the collision is given only by the cue ball, since the solid ball is initially at rest, therefore

p_i = m_c u_c = (0.5 kg)(3 m/s)=1.5 kg m/s

So, the final total momentum will also be

p_f = 1.5 kg m/s

And the total momentum after the collision is given only by the solid ball, since the cue ball is now at rest, therefore:

p_f = m_s v_s

from which we find the velocity of the solid ball

v_s = \frac{p_f}{m_s}=\frac{1.5 kg m/s}{0.5 kg}=3 m/s

I'd go for D here. It also fits in with the idea of thermal expansion - as something is heated up, molecules vibrate and maybe collide. they vibrate with bigger amplitudes, so taking up more space, so expanding. maybe

Im sorry i dont understand pls helpp -w-

Temperature is related to a physical change of a substance because it determines the state of the object via cooling, heating or freezing. To make the concept clear, hear are some examples:-
1. Chocolate melts and turns into liquid form. This is a physical change
2. Water freezes via cooling and forms ice which is in a solid state. This is another physical change

Hope this helped and have a nice day : )

Guys please help me ​

Answer:

1)t=2.26\: s

2)S=33.9\: m

3)v=26.77\: m/s

4)\alpha=55.92

Explanation:

1)

We can use the following equation:

y_{f}=y_{0}+v_{iy}t-0.5*g*t^{2}

Here, the initial velocity in the y-direction is zero, the final y position is zero and the initial y position is 25 m.

0=25-0.5*9.81*t^{2}

t=2.26\: s

2)

The equation of the motion in the x-direction is:

v_{ix}=\frac{S}{t}

15=\frac{S}{2.26}

S=33.9\: m

3)

The velocity in the y-direction of the stone will be:

v_{fy}=v_{iy}-gt

v_{fy}=0-(9.81*2.26)

v_{fy}=-22.17\: m/s

Now, the velocity in the x-direction is 15 m/s then the velocity will be:

v=\sqrt{v_{x}^{2}+v_{fy}^{2}}=\sqrt{15^{2}+(-22.17)^{2}}

v=26.77\: m/s

4)

The angle of this velocity is:

tan(\alpha)=\frac{22.17}{15}

\alpha=tan^{-1}(\frac{22.17}{15})

\alpha=55.92

Then α=55.92° negative from the x-direction.

I hope it helps you!

Why the dogs lays down next to the wood stove? Is it radiation,convection,conduction?

Radiation because it radiates the heat in there body therefore making them hot.
