how would your weight change with time if you were on s space ship traveling away from Earth toward the moon

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:
Well, before we discuss that, I think we have to carefully understand
and agree on something.  We have to be very clear about what we
mean by 'weight' ...  is it what you feel, or is it the product of

           (your mass) x (the acceleration of gravity where you are).

If you're on a space ship, then any time your engine is not burning,
you feel weightless.  It doesn't matter where you are, or what body
you may be near.  If you're not doing a burn, and the only force on
you is the force of gravity, then you don't feel any weight at all.

But of we say that your 'weight' is the product of

           (your mass) times (the acceleration of gravity where you are),

then it depends on where you are, and whether you're close to
the Earth or closer to the moon.  You may not feel it, but you're
going to have weight, and it's going to change during your trip
in space.

You know that the force of gravity depends on how far you are
from the body that's attracting you.

-- As you travel from the Earth to the moon, gravity will pull you
less and less toward Earth, and more and more toward the moon. 

-- Your weight will get less and less, until you reach the point
in space where the gravitational attractions are equal in both
directions.  That's about 24,000 miles before you reach the
moon ... about 90% of the way there.  At that point, your weight
is really zero, because the pull toward the Earth and the pull toward
the moon are equal.

-- From there, the rest of the way to the moon, your weight will
start to grow again.  It begins at zero at the 'magic point', and it
grows and grows until you reach the moon's surface.  When
you're there, your weight has grown to about 1/6 of what you
weigh on Earth, and it won't get any bigger.  If you weigh
120 pounds on Earth, then you weigh about 19.86 pounds on
the moon ... PLUS your space suit, boots, heater/air conditioner,
oxygen tank, radiation shielding, radio, and all the other stuff that
you need to survive on the moon for a few hours.

Cecil is working with samples of chlorine (Cl), oxygen (O), bromine (Br), and silver (Ag). The samples are all at room temperature. Which substance is most likely the most dense?chlorine
oxygen
bromine
silver

Answers

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

As it is known that density is the amount of mass divided by the volume.

Mathematically,     Density = (mass)/(volume)

Since, mass is directly proportional to density. Hence, more is the mass of an object more will be its density.

At room temperature chlorine exists as a gas and its molar mass is 35 g/mol.

At room temperature oxygen exists as a gas and its molar mass is 32 g/mol.

At room temperature bromine exists as a liquid and its molar mass is 80 g/mol.

At room temperature silver exists as a solid and its molar mass is 108 g/mol.

As the mass of silver is greater and it exists as a solid at room temperature. Hence, it will be most dense in nature.

Therefore, we can conclude that out of the given options silver substance is most likely the most dense.

The answer is silver. Silver is the most dense, it's a solid so it is more compact and is obviously the most likely to have more mass to it.

Answer:

In explaining other people’s behaviors people from western cultures tend to emphasize personal factors and people from eastern cultures tend to emphasize personal & situational factors

Explanation:

In Psychology, humans are described to always find a cause to the actions and behaviors they experience in life.This is called attribution.It is simply regarding an act or something as being caused by a thing or another person.The westerners explanation about this matter references more on personal factors where as the easterners tend to emphasize on both personal and situational factors.

Answers

Hey~ :) So, For the first one...  
1. A pH scale measures how much acidic or basic a substance is. The pH scale usually ranges from 0 to 14. .... The pH scale would be, (0 - 14), I think. SO the second one for 1. :) 

2. So, Since a
automobile battery can explode or contain and cause a sulfuric acid burn. I'm thinking it would be thee 1st one for the 2nd! :) sulfuric acid

3. 
Electrochemical and electrolytic reduction cleaning processes, so.... they are the most common techniques utilized to halt, stabilize, and even reverse the oxidation of the metal. So Overall I think this would most-likely Be electrolysis. 

4. Is 1, because, pH of 1 (e) 

5.I am thinking this would Be 
ion. Because, an ion is an atom or molecule with a net electric charge due to the loss or gain of one or more electrons.

Whenever the motion of an object change,____ has been applied.

Answers

Whenever the motion (speed or direction) of an object changes, we say that acceleration has occurred.  From Newton's First Law of Motion, we know that force has been applied to the object.

Which of the following transitions will require the most thermal energy?a)1 g of ice at –15 °C to 1 g of ice at –5 °C
b)1 g of ice at –5 °C to 1 g of water at 5 °C
c)1 g of water at 5 °C to 1 g of water at 15 °C
d)1 g of water at 15 °C to 1 g of water at 25 °C

Answers

Here, 1 g of ice at –5 °C to 1 g of water at 5 °C will require the most thermal energy 'cause it will require some extra energy (latent heat = 80 Cal/gm for this case) for changing the phase from 0 C ice to 0 C water.

In short, Your Answer would be Option B

Hope this helps!
