Why is there no weather on the Moon?
Answer:
the moon has no atmosphere, and it cannot trap heat or insulate the surface.
Explanation:
the moon is too small. ... With weak gravity, gases that are emitted from the surface quickly are lost to outer space.
The town of Seaside needs to build a new power plant. The old coal burning plant produces too much pollution and is no longer safe. The mayor decides that he will do some research on alternative forms of energy like nuclear power plants and solar power plants.
What types of resources should the mayor use to conduct his research? Why would these be considered reliable sources of information and why? What types of resources are reliable? How can he use what he learns to make the best decision for the town?
The mayor is making a good decision to do research into renewable forms of energy. Not only does coal produce pollution, it also contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. Plus, the supply of coal is a finite source. It is considered a natural resource instead of renewable. That means that eventually the supply of coal will run out at some point. Renewables do not encounter such a problem.
So it's smart to look into alternative forms of energy such as nuclear or solar. The benefit of nuclear is that it produces a lot of energy and does so efficiently. The downside is that it's that accidents would lead to disastrous outcomes (eg: the nuclear disaster in Japan). Also, there's the issue of what to do with the nuclear waste. The waste itself is very dangerous and it must be buried underground sealed in thick containers. This is an expensive operation. The rate of decay of the material takes a long time, which means that future generations hundreds of years down the line will have to deal with the waste.
Solar is a cleaner alternative to nuclear, but unfortunately it is not as efficient compared to nuclear power. You need a lot of solar panels in a vast open area to be able to get the energy to power many homes. Places out in the desert are a good choice to put the solar farms because the sun shines intensely there and not many people (or no people) live out in remote areas such as that one.
Because the town is called Seaside, it seems like this town is on the coast. If so, then the mayor should look into wind power to complement solar power. Wind along the coast is often very intense due to the sea current and jet stream. The downside to wind power is that some days the wind doesn't blow at all. The mayor could also look into tidal power which harnesses the flow of the tides coming in and out. If a major river is nearby (that flows into the ocean) then s/he could consider hydroelectric power as well. There are many renewable options to pick from. Each option has its pros and cons, so it's up to the mayor to weigh what exactly their needs are and how efficiently they want electricity. Mixing various options is possibly the best idea since you get a bit of each pro/con from all the options mentioned.
A racehorse coming out of the gate accelerates from rest to a velocity of 12.0
m/s due west in 2.30 s. What is its average acceleration?
27.6 m/s^2
5.22 m/s^2
-5.22 m/s^2
-27.6 m/s^2
-0.19 m/s^2
O 0.19 m/s^2
Answer:
5.22 m/s²
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
Final velocity (v) = 12 m/s
Time (t) = 2.3 s
Acceleration (a) =.?
Acceleration is defined as the change of velocity with time. Mathematically, it is expressed as:
Acceleration (a) = final velocity (v) – initial velocity (u) / time (t)
a = (v – u) /t
With the above formula, we can obtain the acceleration of the racehorse as follow:
Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
Final velocity (v) = 12 m/s
Time (t) = 2.3 s
Acceleration (a) =.?
a = (v – u) /t
a = (12 – 0) / 2.3
a = 12 /2.3
a = 5.22 m/s²
Therefore, the average acceleration of the racehorse is 5.22 m/s²
How Can the human ear detect the sound
Answer:
Sound waves enter the outer ear and travel through a narrow passageway called the ear canal, which leads to the eardrum. The eardrum vibrates from the incoming sound waves and sends these vibrations to three tiny bones in the middle ear.
Explanation:
The eardrum vibrates from the incoming sound waves and sends these vibrations to three tiny bones in the middle ear. These bones are called the malleus, incus, and stapes.

HeLp AsAp!!!!!! How long would it take you to hop 30 meters based on your speed for the 5-meter trial? Show your work!
Hopping =
Distance-5 m
Time-3.41
Speed-1.46
Answer:
20.5s
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Distance = 30m
Unknown:
Time = ?
Solution:
The time it will take to hop a distance of 30m using the speed for the 5m trial is the duration of the trip.
The speed for the 5m trial = 1.46m/s
Now;
Speed = [tex]\frac{distance}{time}[/tex]
Distance = speed x time
time = [tex]\frac{distance }{speed}[/tex]
Input the parameters and solve;
time = [tex]\frac{30}{1.46}[/tex] = 20.5s

Given a helicopter flying up and sideways at a velocity of 95 m/s at an angle of 35º to the ground, find the horizontal component of the velocity.
Answer:
The horizontal component of the velocity of the helicopter is approximately 77.82 m/s
Explanation:
The given parameters are;
The speed of the helicopter, v = 95 m/s
The angle in which the helicopter is flying = 35° to the ground
The horizontal component of the velocity is given by the component of the magnitude, R, of the velocity of the helicopter in the x-direction as follows;
[tex]v = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}[/tex]
Where;
vₓ = v × cos(θ) = The horizontal component
[tex]v_y = v \times sin(\theta)[/tex] = The vertical component
∴ The horizontal component of the velocity, vₓ, of the helicopter with 95 m/s velocity moving at an angle of 35° to the horizontal is given as follos
vₓ = 95 × cos(35°) ≈ 77.82 m/s
The horizontal component of the velocity of the helicopter ≈ 77.82 m/s.

What is meant by the term total internal reflection? What two conditions must be met for total internal reflection to occur?
Answer:
Hello....
Explanation:
Total internal reflection, in physics, complete reflection of a ray of light within a medium such as water or glass from the surrounding surfaces back into the medium. The phenomenon occurs if the angle of incidence is greater than a certain limiting angle, called the critical angle.
The conditions required for total internal reflection (TIR) to occur are:
1)the light must be travelling from a more dense medium into a less dense medium (ie glass to air)
2)the angle of incidence must be greater than the critical angle.

A train rolls at a constant speed of 10 m/s across a horizontal track. A child standing on the flatbed of the train throws a ball so that it appears to move straight up to an observer standing next to the track. a. What is the horizontal speed of the ball relative to the observer?
Answer:
The answer is 10m/sExplanation:
Given that the child is in the train, and that the train is moving at a speed of 10m/s, and also the child is standing on the flatbed, hence the child is not moving, therefore the velocity of the child is 10m/s relative to the observer
Also, when the child throws the ball horizontally relative to the observer the horizontal speed is also 10m/s.
therefore the speed of the ball is also 10m/s to the observer

In the real world could the roller coaster car reach the top of the second hill if the second hill were as high as the firsts hill
Answer: No, it couldn’t. Energy leaves the system in the form of heat as the roller coaster cars travel from the top of one hill to the next. The vehicles have less total energy, so the potential energy at the top of the second hill must also be less. The cars wouldn’t be able to achieve the height of the first hill.

Explanation:
Ben has two carts with masses of 0.1 kg and 0.2 kg. He pushes the smaller cart toward the larger cart and they collide. The smaller cart rebounds back in the direction it came from. He measures the force on the smaller cart from the larger cart to be 5 N. What was the magnitude of the acceleration of the smaller cart?
Answer:
The acceleration of the smaller cart is 50 m/s²
Explanation:
The given masses of the carts are 0.1 kg and 0.2 kg
The direction in which the small cart bounces = In the revers to its initial direction
The force exerted by the larger cart on the small cart = 5 N
Therefore, we have;
Force acting on smaller cart = Mass of smaller cart × Acceleration of the smaller cart
∴ The acceleration of the smaller cart = Force acting on smaller cart/(Mass of smaller cart)
The acceleration of the smaller cart = 5 N/(0.1 kg) = 50 m/s²
The acceleration of the smaller cart = 50 m/s².
