Answers

Answer 1

Answer: choices a and b

Explanation:

Telescope can be defined as am optical instrument which is designed to observe the distant objects clear and nearer. It comprises of arrangement of lenses which allow the rays of light to be collected. The collected light is focused and the image so produced is magnified in the form of an image. The telescopes are prepared and manufactured on mountains top as this will help in preventing the distortion of light obtain from the star due to the fluctuation of air mass in the atmosphere. The atmospheric distortion affects the resolution, and affects the vision. The atmospheric pressure is low at the mountain tops so it will help in better observation of the sky.

Hurricanes are powered by heat energy in the atmosphere and the ocean. Typically, one hurricane uses an amount of heat roughly equal to Z thousand atomic bombs. If the excess heat built up in Earth's atmosphere since 1850 went into producing hurricanes, about how many more hurricanes might we expect in the world every year?

Answers

Answer:

In an year about 6 major hurricanes and 3 minor storms occurs.

Explanation:

Hurricanes are increasing in number and frequency to the increasing impact of global warming. As current research states that climate change in the tropics results in an increased storm frequency. The presence of extra heat in the air or the oceans form the stoma that leads to the production of such energy. According to o the 200-2007 data shows in the huge increase in the storm frequency and this suggests the impact of climate warming.

The part of the lithosphere under the ocean are less dense then those under the continents. True or false

Answers

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The outer part of the Earth that is hard and solid is termed as lithosphere. It is the outermost part of the Earth's surface. The lithosphere covered under the oceans is the oceanic lithosphere while the lithosphere comprising the continental area is the continental lithosphere. Oceanic lithosphere is denser than the continental lithosphere because of the thin layer of the Earth that exists under the oceans.

A cloud is drifting across the sky at a constant velocity of 724metersperminute to the east. It is at an altitude of 9,200 meters. How far will the cloud move in 12.5minutes?

Answers

Answer:

The cloud moves 9050 meters to the east in 12.5 minutes.

Explanation:

Let suppose that mass of the cloud is negligible. meaning that effects of gravity are negligible and that altitude of the cloud remains constant. If the cloud drifts at constant velocity, travelled distance is defined by following formula:

[tex]\Delta s = v\cdot \Delta t[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]v[/tex] - Velocity, in meters per second.

[tex]\Delta t[/tex] - Time, in seconds.

If we know that [tex]v = 724\,\frac{m}{min}[/tex] and [tex]\Delta t = 12.5\,min[/tex], then the travelled distance after 12.5 minutes is:

[tex]\Delta s = 9050\,m[/tex]

The cloud moves 9050 meters to the east in 12.5 minutes.

If a motorcycle, a car, and a big rig are all moving with a velocity of 100 km/h, which vehicle has the greatest momentum? A motorcycle and rider. A small car. A large 18 wheeler truck.

Answers

Answer:

The big rig.

Explanation:

Momentum can be defined as the multiplication (product) of the mass possessed by an object and its velocity. Momentum is considered to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;

[tex] Momentum = mass * velocity [/tex]

In this scenario, a motorcycle, a car, and a big rig are all moving with a velocity of 100 km/h. Thus, the vehicle which has the greatest momentum is the big rig because its mass is intuitively or logically greater than that of the other vehicle.

Generally, momentum is directly proportional to the mass of a physical object or body.

Answer: A large 18 wheeler truck.

Explanation: Momentum is the measure of the motion of an object found by multiplying the object’s mass and velocity. Momentum is directly proportional to the object's mass and also its velocity. So, the greater an object's mass or the greater its velocity, the greater its momentum. Therefore, since the truck is bigger, it has the greatest mass. This means that the truck the greatest momentum. Correct on Edg 2020.

If the area of a concrete slap weighing 300n is 400cm2 ,how much pressure can it apply when kept on the ground

Answers

Answer:

7500 N/m²

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Force (F) = 300 N

Area (A) = 400 cm²

Pressure (P) =?

Next, we shall convert 400 cm² to m². This can be obtained as follow:

1×10⁴ cm² = 1 m²

Therefore,

400 cm² = 400 cm² × 1 m² / 1×10⁴ cm²

400 cm² = 0.04 m²

Finally, we shall determine the pressure. This can be obtained as follow:

Force (F) = 300 N

Area (A) = 0.04 m²

Pressure (P) =?

P = F/A

P = 300 / 0.04

P = 7500 N/m²

A roller coaster car is traveling at a constant 3 m/s when it reaches a downward slope. On the slope, the car accelerates at a constant rate of 4.5 m/s​ 2​ . The length of the slope is 45 meters. A) Find the velocity of the car at the bottom of the hill. B) Find the time of travel.

Answers

Answer:

Velocity of the car at the bottom of the slope: approximately [tex]20.3\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}[/tex].

It would take approximately [tex]3.9\; \rm s[/tex] for the car to travel from the top of the slope to the bottom.

Explanation:

The time of the travel needs to be found. Hence, make use of the SUVAT equation that does not include time.

Let [tex]v[/tex] denote the final velocity of the car. Let [tex]u[/tex] denote the initial velocity of the car.Let [tex]a[/tex] denote the acceleration of the car. Let [tex]x[/tex] denote the distance that this car travelled.

[tex]v^2 - u^2 = 2\, a\cdot x[/tex].

Given:

[tex]u = 3\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}[/tex].[tex]a = 4.5\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}[/tex].[tex]x = 45\; \rm m[/tex].

Rearrange the equation [tex]v^2 - u^2 = 2\, a\cdot x[/tex] and solve for [tex]v[/tex]:

[tex]\begin{aligned}v &= \sqrt{2\, a \cdot x + u^2} \\ &= \sqrt{2 \times 4.5\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2} \times 45\; \rm m + \left(3\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\right)^{2}} \\ &\approx 20.3\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\end{aligned}[/tex].

Calculate the time required for reaching this speed from [tex]u = 3\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}[/tex] at [tex]a = 4.5\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}[/tex]:

[tex]\begin{aligned}t &= \frac{v - u}{a} \\ &\approx \frac{20.3\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} - 3\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}}{4.5\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}} \approx 3.9\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\end{aligned}[/tex].

Answers

Answer:

424.26 m/s

Explanation:

Given that Two air craft P and Q are flying at the same speed 300m/s. The direction along which P is flying is at right angles to the direction along which Q is flying. Find the magnitude of velocity of the air craft P relative to air craft Q

The relative speed will be calculated by using pythagorean theorem

Relative speed = sqrt(300^2 + 300^2)

Relative speed = sqrt( 180000 )

Relative speed = 424.26 m/s

Therefore, the magnitude of velocity of the air craft P relative to air craft Q is 424.26 m/s

The resistivity of a given wire of cross sectional area 0.7mm^2 is 4.9×10^-4ohms mm.Calculate the resistance of a 2ohms length of the wire

Answers

Answer:

the resistance of the wire is 1.4 x 10⁻³ ohms.

Explanation:

Given;

resistivity of the wire, ρ = 4.9 x 10⁻⁴ ohms.mm

cross sectional area of the wire, A = 0.7 mm²

length of wire, L = 2 mm

The resistance of the wire is calculated as follows;

[tex]R = \frac{\rho L}{A} \\\\R = \frac{4.9 \times 10^{-4} \times 2}{0.7} \\\\R = 1.4\times 10^{-3} \ ohms[/tex]

Therefore, the resistance of the wire is 1.4 x 10⁻³ ohms.

A small pebble and one large boulder start at the same height and begin rolling down the side of a mountain. Which object would have less kinetic energy as it crashes on the road at the bottom of the mountain? Justify your selection.

Answers

Answer:

The small pebble

Explanation:

Since the potential energy, P.E lost equals kinetic energy, K.E gained,

P.E = K.E

P.E = mgh = K.E

So, K.E = mgh where g = acceleration due to gravity and h = height of drop

Since h and g are constant

K.E ∝ m

So, the kinetic energy of the object is directly proportional to its mass. Thus, the object with the smaller mass has the lesser kinetic energy.

Since the object with the smaller mass is the small pebble, so the small pebble would have less kinetic energy as it crashes on the road at the bottom of the mountain.

You and a friend each apply 500 N of force to move a cement block 50 cm. How much work was done on the cement block?

Answers

Answer:

 W = 500 J

Explanation:

Work is defined by

         W = F . x

if we develop the dot product

         W = F x cos θ

where is the angle between the force and the displacement, in this case the angle is zero, so cos 0 = 1

          W = F x

indicate that each person applies a force of 500 N, so the total force is

         F = 1000 N

let's reduce the distance to the SI system

          x = 50 cm = 0.50 m

let's calculate

          W = 1000 0.50

          W = 500 J
